Bernardo, Mark, Mel, Randy
The El Camino Reelers in Palo Alto held their spring dance this past saturday, and several of us rode down in the Rusty’s Fur Wagon: 
Mark O. (markosf), Big John in SF (bigjohnsf), Ed (sfbearhoney), Mel, and myself.
ECR always has a nice potluck spread, their location is very spacious and comfortable, but sometimes their choice of callers leaves a bit to be desired. Seth Levine from Phoenix is the club caller there for Desert Valley Squares, and he teaches their Basic/Mainstream, Plus and Advanced classes. He just seemed really low energy, and his music choices were somewhat bland and uninspired. Perhaps because the weekend before’s caller, Joe Saltel, was so polished and a great singer, I was a little let down by comparison. Despite that, though, I had a good time dancing, flirting and socializing. Well, and the fact that I won the 50/50 raffle might have had something to do with it, too. Woo-hoo!
After the dance, the fur wagon gang and a few other men headed to a late supper at The Palo Alto Creamery, a local institution. The food was good, the service average, parking was good. They have a Bubbly Burger on the menu, which is a hamburger served with a bottle of Dom Perignon, for $150.00. Crazy, huh? I don’t think anyone ordered that, though.
I dozed on and off on the ride back to Frank-baby, and left my phone in the van, silly bear. Fortunately, I called it when I realized, and Rusty freighted it back to me.
