The 100th Post - And welcome to new members!

I don't know if it's significant, but this is the 100th post on this blog (not counting comments).

Welcome to new members Reida and Bonnie!

There were eighteen (18!) folks at the Calling Party last night (May 7). We pulled out all the dances we'd been wanting to try, but which needed more than three couples or so. We did one that kind of turned into a double square, and a triple minor, and the Levi Jackson Rag, which needs exactly ten people, and Bob's XYZ, which becomes a lot easier when you don't have to deal with end effects as often. We also did Michael Fuerst's "Where's Alex", in which you do a hey with your home set, then a hey with a second set of new neighbors, a gypsy with yet a third new neighbor, then return to start the dance over with the second set of neighbors. Try that with just four couples! But with eight or nine couples, it's almost doable.

I need a bigger family room.
