@medianowstl introduced me to my #mnstl15 students via this ridiculous #lipsync #video that I filmed with @funtaye (they asked instructors for it!). Watch us fool around to “Janie Jones” by #TheClash on my Facebook page: facebook.com/u2acro. #stl #medianowparty @medianowstl #BasementKaraokeSTL #BasementKaraoke #karaoke #journalism A photo posted by Allison Babka (@ambabka) on
