I occasionally google “square dance blog” or “square dance weblog” just to see what else is out there.

This time I came across an interesting read: the weblog (the diary kind, not the link commentary kind) of a gay man who started taking square dance lessons at Western Star in January this year. He’s competitive, constantly judges himself and others (including the callers), and started taking Plus lessons with Foggy City before he finished his Mainstream class. He has a boyfriend, goes to church, plays Scrabble, works in computers, square dances, and has casual sex whenever (as a lesbian, I just don’t get the concept of a live-in boyfriend and casual sex, but I know it’s pretty common with gay guys…whatever). I went through his whole blog, searching on “square”, so I think I caught all the square dance references; it’s a good look at the gay square dance community in San Francisco. If you’re interested, start here (January – April) and then move here for May and the future. Oh yes, today’s his birthday.

Another one that turned up is a single-entry blog (meaning the person only wrote once) at squaredance.blogspot.com. The entry had nothing to do with square dancing, and there was no explanation as to why this person (a young girl, I think) chose the “squaredance” name.

I found a blog written by a woman who square dances with her family…but there’s no mention of square dancing (or any dancing, for that matter) in the blog.
