The tea dance has a “lumberjack” theme.

I, too, wouldn’t have thought those were compatible concepts, but life is a rich tapestry.

Lumberjacks also probably don’t ponder which earrings to wear. Or perhaps they do more than I’d guess!

Who would have thought other people would be in flannel?

It’s something of an older crowd (always glad to be one of the young ones!), and I’m HERE for the vintage entertainment.

I am told they did Madonna before I got here, and am a broken man.

Can’t really dance for long in flannel.

Also they just played “Ray of Light” and everything is better.

Someone... took my shirt? Lol?

A drunk lady tried to steal it and my scarf, plus someone else’s shirt

My husband was ready to throw down. It was amazing. This evening has taken a TURN!

My BIL and his husband keep saying “Is that my shirt? Wait... IS THAT MY SCARF?!?” and dying laughing.

We’re across the street at the piano bar and they’re playing “All that Jazz” and my blood pressure is back to normal.

They’re still laughing about my scarf.

This is Jason. We had him play showtunes and such at our wedding reception.

Aaaaaaand have concluded a surprisingly eventful evening driving home in the snow. But I still have my favorite scarf!
