Dear Savannah Friends,
Many of you expressed concern about my social well-being when I saw you over the holidays.
Fair.
I do need to get out more. Try to meet more non-work people.
So this week, I did two things in two different places with two different sets of people:
Line dancing in Salem and a drag show in Portland.
How is that for running the gamut?
Those of you who have known me a while know that I haunted Stetsons in Savannah for line-dancing nights back in the day.
Salem, Oregon, is apparently a hotspot for line dancing. (Who knew?)
The colleague who told me about this event did provide some additional information.
It was great! I had fun and got some exercise. People were very welcoming.
That was Thursday night. I went to Darcelle XV in Portland on Friday night.
It was not like any other drag show I’ve seen. I’m used to acrobatic, can-pass-as performers working the crowd. This show was more like a cabaret stocked with Joan Crawford/Bette Davis clones in evening gowns. To tip, you threw your money in a bowl at center stage.
It was a good evening with friends, but I probably wouldn’t go back to the regular show. There’s an “open mic”-style drag show on Tuesdays that looks more interesting.
Still, I could have had a terrible time at either or both of these places and been happy to be out.
My next big event out should be a doozy:
Stay tuned.
Love,
Beth
*Love me some Miley.

I tried line dancing. That’s when I realized I don’t know my right from my left. 🤣 Looks like you had fun!

I did! I am terrible at choreography in general, but this I can handle.
