Sunday morning at Burlycon RAND felt the need to exercise. Lucky the hotel has a three story atrium as part of the hallway to the bedrooms (a wonderful place to "bubble dance"). In Maleficent attire, RAND started to stretch out with the balloon. A number of persons at the conference stopped and watched for a while. But one lady stayed. She really wanted to attend RAND's "Bubble Dance Class" but that was on Thursday and she arrived on Friday. RAND spent some time with her, teaching the basics, missing a few conference events RAND wanted to attend. But it was well worth it, sending another fledgling bubble dancer out into the world.
