SCA dance practice / Wednesday nights / miscellanea

Tonight I went to SCA dance practice for the first time in about three years. While I had a good time, I don't see myself going back regularly. Due to the nature of the beast, it's still the same dances taught at the lowest-common-denominator level, and that doesn't capture my interest. The social aspect is good, but doesn't make up for the lack of interest otherwise. I did see some very nice people I hadn't seen in a very long time, though, and got some hugs and scratches and rubs in good ways. Yay people.

This leaves the option now of what to do with my Wednesday nights. [livejournal.com profile] jmspencer will not be running another D&D game, and AFAIK neither will londo. SCA dance isn't enough to be my regular commitment. So what could be? I do feel like I want something regularly social on my one free weeknight.

Things I'm interested in:
  • Gaming - finding another tabletop group maybe?
  • Dancing - either finding a bellydance class that meets Wed nights, or even some other form of dance, given the ability to scale the teaching to my level
  • Music making - joining a band/orchestra/choir
  • Crafting - a knitting circle, sewing class, etc
  • Flying - but I don't have the money now to take lessons, so that's moot
  • Learning - take some form of community/adult learning course?

    Any ideas? Alternately it may be possible to rework my schedule at work to make another night my early night, OR I could just scrap the idea of an early weeknight entirely and work the entire week 12-8. So, options. Many options. And probably I shouldn't be making any decisions right now anyway. But still, thinking!

    In other news, I have finally read The Strange Tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] alexx_kay!

    Worcester has a house, that I live in, where there will be gaming...

    Do tell me more. (Though really, getting out to Worcester and back in one night is a bit rough.)
