Answer

OK, it's been a while, so here's the answer to the last post in case you didn't get it. I received the E-mail shortly after 8:00 pm. The dance started at 7:30 pm that same night. That means that the person who sent the E-mail was not at the dance! Not only that, but anyone he sent it to who read it when it came through was not only not at the dance, but they were also probably hopelessly unable to attend at this point as was my case. If I'd walked out the door the instant the E-mail came through, I would have arrived at the dance after it ended.

Oh well, maybe I'll be able to attend a future Tuesday night dance there, unless there's a great band in Winston-Salem (or I'm calling there).
