Swing bust

Wednesday nights at the Green Dolphin satisfy two of my daily objectives - socialize and move around. Unfortunately, I really accomplished only one of those.

For a change, I got dressed up to go dancing, by which I mean skirt & tights, which in December in Chicago is quite a concession. Drove over and met up with my girls. It was nice to sip some drinks and chat for a while, but it became glaringly apparent that there was not enough dancing to be had. Blame it on the holiday season, or the cold, but there just weren't alot of people out. More accurately, there weren't alot of equal-opportunity leaders. The few guys that were there only danced with the same 2 or 3 women. I was there for over 2 hours and danced once. Lame!

Here's hoping that next Wednesday, people will be so sick of doing their holiday duties that they will embrace the opportunity to go out and have some fun. In the meantime, I am trying to talk the girls into joining me for a tango lesson on Ashland tonight. And plotting more dancing for the weekend.
