I have a pretty cool grandma, she can drink me under the table and she is well under 5ft (not to mention the pack of smokes she inhales a day). Anyway, I think this techno grandma may have her beat (not really, but let’s just say she is).
It would appear that a group of young whipper snappers captured this footage of an outdoor rave when a beat-loving senior wandered in and made everyone’s day. When I am that old, I have every intention of laying down moved just like dear Techno Grandma.
