.: Traveling Via Traveler :.
In the last few weeks, I've housed a couple of stray dancers. All pretty much by chance. One from a posting on Windyhop. Ask and ye shall receive. Then another dancer because I'm a nosy person. He was searching out a hotel room on the cutest laptop ever. But a hotel room?! That just goes against my belief that dancers should stick together and help out when they can.
So I'd had lovely people on my couch. My housing technique is down pat. I really should be a hostel. They've sheets and towels. An extra set of keys. A CTA pass. Maps. And perhaps the most important thing - the passcode to the wifi. AND someone who'll try to take them to any and all dance venues while they are in town.
This, of course, forces me to go out dancing more. AND I actually enjoyed it. Not that I can say that I love dancers. I'm too cranky for that. Talking about how either of us started and what keeps us dancing makes me happy to hear. Talking about ideas and dreams makes me happy. Talking about incredibly silly things late night at a diner makes me happy. Me happy = better dances.
Furthermore, my visitor from London conned me into taking some workshop classes. Very interesting, learned quite a bit. We shared a private lesson with the visiting instructor. Learned alot there as well. Got me excited about playing around with dancing. I've so much to learn. Just when I thought I couldn't get more awesomer.
Having these travelers with me has made me really examine my life. They've let go of what they've known, what they have, and are just floating on a whim. So I learned a few lessons there too. I've really lucked out with who I've opened my doors to. Heh. My sisters remind me of all the dancers I had forgotten I'd housed. That's quite a few. I'd make a list but I'm done for tonight.
