It Takes A Village...

This isn't exactly a roadtrip report (although we did travel some roads to get there), but I thought it worthy to comment on last weekend's ABQ Contra Dance adventure. It was a night of comings and goings, both on the dancefloor and in the band. When the scheduled caller for the evening didn't appear, we all found out just how deep the bench is on our team. Five callers who were there to dance and/or play stepped up to take a turn at calling, mostly from memory. The band kept fluctuating, as well, with various folks taking over lead roles as needed. This is a standard feature of the Megaband -- potluck every time -- but not the usual fare for callers! Thanks to Kris, Merri, Artie, Linda, and Larry!

Disco in Durango!!

To kick off the road-trip blog, here's a peek at the fun times at Durango's disco-themed contra last weekend.



Caller Wendy Graham and a growing community of dancers put on their best polyester and danced the night away under disco balls and a music-synched light show. We (Hey!) had a great time playing for them! See a tiny video clip on our website.
