Re: [Callers] Tablet size?

Anyone without 30 dances memorized to guarantee fun for whatever dancers are  before her/him  cannot get a caller's license.   Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801       217-239-5844 On Wednesday, October 9, 2013 12:28 AM, Erik Hoffman <erik(a)erikhoffman.com> wrote: Interesting: carry cards in case the tablet fails.  Back in the old days, we knew a caller was a caller when she forgot her cards and still called a great dance. I remember the first time I forgot my cards, and did fine with the dances I knew by heart.  Even in my head, I had more than enough to work.  There are, of course, no hurries to get to that place, and taking precautions is good, but when it happens, it does build a sense of confidence. After hearing of a friend forgetting to put her dance cards in the car, only to watch them scatter in the mirror on the freeway, as they flew off the top of her car, I went and photocopied all my cards. Now I have notes in my falling-apart books, and I've photoed every comment and dance I've written in the book, so if I loose the book, I can reconstruct it. And, I can still call a dance with no written cues at all... ~erik hoffman On 10/8/2013 10:59 AM, Rich Goss wrote: _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
