1993

Attempt

Somewhere in 1993 I kissed M in bar dancing San Francisco for the first time. Back then the Zeedijk was a rather seedy street, nowadays the most of the seediness has disappeared. On Sunday night I went to back San Francisco with some of the students with whom I developed an urban game earlier this year.
One of the students, a young man, one could sense that there is a cowboy deep inside him, made a second attempt at teaching me how to dance. After less than a minute he said: “Honestly, we are both not very good at dancing, but we are charming.”
