Dancing Queen

I had a wonderful time tonight. Apart from a small delay before the show (I ran an errand for the Fringe after doing box office at a brilliant show and before going to the dancing gig), the whole evening went smoothly. He was thrilled that I wore a dress and looked the part. Noel and I practiced a bit beforehand. I'm really glad I did those salsa lessons while I lived in Oakland because I'm a bit better at adapting to different leads.

It went well. Noel said the performance was even better than the rehearsals, which was true. We had a grand time. I may get to do it again before the run is over! Afterwards we had a pint at the bar upstairs and I met some of his friends with whom he lived in London back in the 60s. They were lovely, too. (One of them lived in San Francisco, in the Sunset, at the same time I was living there. Small world, huh?) Noel was a perfect host and took care that I got home safely.

For those who are curious about the show, you can check out a review from when he performed in the Edinburgh Fringe (or this one).
