Unending Epilogue 12

March 2010

My approach to Salsa this year seemed to have settled into twice or thrice a month local outing focusing on personal enjoyment without drama. I don't seek out beginners - at least not as much as before. There are not many people I ask for a dance more than once a night - no more than the number of people on the DNA list.

DCDC

There was to be only one this month because of a benefit event bumping the fourth Saturday event. Anyhow, it was a bit on the short side but still quite enjoyable. Going out less frequently hasn't made it less fun - in fact the opposite seemed true.

Second weekend in a row to go out. This was the first time I went to the Baltimore area for Salsa. Likes of TS and JY had gone to Philly instead, but this turned out to be a fun event even without them. This was second event I have seen Ana Masacote, and I was able to take advantage for a second dance with her. Dancing with inactive locals who came out for the visiting guests were just as big a highlight.

One of the guys I met (Benny) tried to talk me into a spot called La Palapa Grill in Ellicott City. Chatted a bit with Brandon and Eric also. One of Brandon's videos ended up having extended cameo by me.

I tried this for the first time in 2010, and this essentially made it third week in a row. I felt I could have done without this outing for a large part of the evening although it did get better as the night went along.

February 2010

Another quiet month. I only went out twice, both for DCDC. Both were quite good. I might be getting out of shape, however. My right leg was hurting after the second DCDC night this month. Meanwhile I seemed to have gained a little weight. A noteworthy new activity for me lately is playing the piano.
