The dance was a lot of fun, if proof that I'm dreadfully out of shape. I did fairly well, considering the length of time I'd been away - I guess after you reach a certain ability level it's like riding a bicycle. The band last night was from out of town, which as usual meant a lot of newbies. The first couple of dances were a bit rough as they figured things out, but the rest of the evening went fairly well. The caller was from the local organizers and did a good job, although for the large percentage of newbies, I was surprised at the complexity of some of the later dances he called. Never did a contra corners (thank $Deity, with that crowd), but he did throw one move in that I had never encountered here or at dances elsewhere: a Mad Robin. It's a Do-Si-Do with your neighbor while you keep eye contact with your partner. Kind of like a Gypsy with someone walking in between. Potential for collision is high.
As expected, the regulars I know all made comments at the end of the dance about making sure I keep coming back. I'm certainly going to try. Of course, next week I'm going up to Chicago to check out a couple of exhibits at the Art Institute. And see

We came home last night and crashed. Toni was already in bed. I had one of those night's sleeps wherein I know I slept but don't feel like I did - probably never got much REM sleep. So, I'm a bit groggy this morning.

The rest of you, if you're going to try to make it to the Lebanese Taverna in Pentagon City Thursday at 7pm (even if you're possibly going to be late), let me know. So far, I have:

Went to a cookout last night and started a game of Munchkin at 10:00pm. Six players. The game went 4 hours and 25 minutes before someone finally won. Several of us had gotten to nine levels, just one step away, only to get trounced and have to back up or worse, completely start over. The funny part is that we could all tell we were all getting tired and slap-happy, and yet I think we found the spirit of the game. No one took an easy out to let someone win so we could go to bed. At 2:25am, someone was finally able to get to that tenth level and put us all out of our misery. :-)
Was this a normal length game for six players?
