First Bon Dance Fun


With baby's face stained a yellowish-orange (from food), we, like Tabasco Man, went to our first bon dance of the season but at Palacades. Where is Palacades you ask? No, it's not a new restaurant or a new sporting event location. It's actually Palisades. MSO made the colossal mistake of sending e-mail to friends to ask them if they want to join us with the misspelled location. Now he has to deal with the witticism. It was fun listening to the live music performed by some talented musicians, watching friends dance, and talking story.

If you're interested in some bon dance fun, the schedule for the rest of the season follows. Sorry, you'll have to wait till next year to go to Palacades.
