Catching Up

I haven't written a great deal lately, largely because my life although busy is largely routine at the moment.

We didn't have a C2 square dance class yesterday (Monday): caller John Marshall is out of town most of this week. Instead, many of us from the C2 class made a surprise appearance at justetthon's C1 dance. We were just one person shy of a third square so justetthon called while dancing. It has been a long time since I've just danced without calling or pushing my way through a workshop or class... it's a fun reminder of why I do this stuff in the first place.

Tonight, kent4str and I called an open house for the Chesapeake Squares while cuyahogarvr went to Billy Harrison's Galaxy Stars C1 club night. Our performance for CS went pretty well, although we were a little disappointed we only had two newbies, one of which was just visiting from California. After all the work the club has put into our public appearances this past weekend, I think everyone was hoping for at least four newbies. *sigh*

Still, we had fun. We had three intro-to-dancing tips, two Plus tips and an A2 tip for the regulars. I sight-called the A2 tip, working on building up my skills & confidence and am quite pleased with the results.

The Chesapeake Squares also bought kent4str and me a gift Visa card in gratitude for our hours of work this past weekend. Whee! It also conveniently makes up for me forgetting to prepare an invoice for the June club nights we called... Doh!

Wednesday night, a group of us C2 students will be getting together to practice. Thursday, kent4str and I are calling an open house for the DC Lambda Squares. Friday, we crash.
