West Coast Wednesday!

I drove the 2 1/2 hours to Detroit and went to West Coast Wednesday. When I first got there, I looked around the wide floorspace at a beginner class in session. I scanned the crowed, looking for anyone within a decade of my own age. My scanner was not finding anyone. All old people. Crap! And they're all newbies too. I didn't give up hope though. As the night progressed, new people began to enter the room. They were YOUNG! AND THEY COULD DANCE! Yay!! By "young" I mean under 40 years old. I was so happy to dance with someone under the age of 60. There were some really B.A. West Coast dancers there and even a few dance pros!

I met a lot of new people and had a great time. My name started spreading around quickly for some reason. After several dances I started dancing with this one lady who asked me if I was the one who came from Grand Rapids. haha.

I started dancing with this one girl, Jessica who looked like she was 12. But she was a junior in college. She was cute. After West Coast Wednesday was over I walked out into the parking lot and slid into my truck. I put the truck into reverse and looked in my rear-view mirror and saw Jessica running up to my truck. She came up to my window which I rolled down and she handed me a piece of paper. She said, "Here's my number in case you wanted to call me later." Nice.
