“Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog”: Whedon + Fillion + Neil Patrick Harris = Geek Gold!

Posted on July 19, 2008 by

Posted on July 15, 2008 by

Midsummer Nights Swing photo by my friend Jerry Swing dancing at outdoor venues like Midsummer Nights Swing often presents many opportunities to dance with random strangers who are hanging around the sidelines of the dancefloor.
