Hello fellow callers,
I'm theoretically calling the Glen Echo (MD) dance on Friday, but as many

continues, it may very well be that the gates will remain closed.
While things are obviously in flux, there is a possibility that
tle while and since you're not sure who is on
what side of the "aisle" you wouldn't want to risk offending anyone.
For all of our benefit let's hope this shutdown is short lived.

Do you know The Art of Negotiation by Al Olson?

While I'm amused at some of the suggestions here, I'd offer a contrary
opinion. If I were going to a contra dance, I'd want to be in a space
where I could get away from all this political noise, and just enjoy
being at the dance community, without the reminders of all the
political divisions.

that they'll shut down the government to do it. Reminders are all over the
It is interesting. By in large, contra dancers tend to be on the
liberal side of the spectrum. And, judging from this discussion, even
the reasons for not bringing up current events are because we want to
