Sunday, June 05, 2005 Memorial Weekend, Part II Part I of the four days of BBQing: Why do ducks have webbed feet? BBQ #3 was held in a park that apparently everyone in the world decided would be great to spend a Sunday afternoon in--parking was practically impossible. Cooking salmon and corn on the tiny propane grill took forever (remember how I said everyone in the world decided to go to the park? There weren’t any charcoal grills left). In theory, this was supposed to be a dancing event. In actuality, only the salsa dancers did much dancing--all the lindy hoppers ended up playing Frisbee. Notable moments: due to a distinct lack of silverware, plasticware, or anything besides hands and fingers, eating the aforementioned salmon was something of a challenge. Also, watching Melanie bound after the Frisbee like a puppy was quite entertaining. (Imagine a cute, prone-to-laughter blonde girl in a skirt spotting the Frisbee, inevitably way above her head, looking up, waving her hands frantically and running around trying to get it--she usually missed, but she tried anyway.) Later that night: I hosted a blues party that actually consisted of more lindy hop than blues. But with around five swing dance instructors in the room, the lone non-dancer got a lesson (with the proverbial "too many chiefs"). But hey, he came dancing with us later that week, so it couldn’t have been all that bad. BBQ #4 was on Easy Street. (Yes, I have three friends who live on Easy Street--awesome name, isn’t it?). We cooked most of the remaining salmon from the day before and (surprise, surprise) played more Frisbee. I also managed to convince everyone that they wanted ice cream (not too difficult), so we made a run to Coldstone and beat the line that grew exponentially after us. And then the weekend was over. Mmm, relaxing. ^ Top | 12:10 AM | | |
