Okay. So I got a call at 7:30 this MORNING from someone with a 608 area code who wanted to know if the Madison Scottish country dance group had a performance tonight so he could write about it for a school assignment. Not only did he have to get my number from the MILWAUKEE dance page, but my number is a MILWAUKEE area code. Right below that information it says we meet on MONDAYS. In MILWAUKEE. And at the bottom of the page is the link to the MADISON dance group that meets on SUNDAYS. So I called him back at a slightly more reasonable hour at 10. He apparently has never heard of Google because otherwise in less than 1 second he could have found his university's dance DEPARTMENT, a MADISON folk dance listing, onMILWAUKEE.com, or a myriad of other websites that are there for precisely that reason. And he was surprised when I knew all of this information off the top of my head.
Google, people. Not that hard. What are they teaching to the kids these days?
Still, I'm glad that he found our website and was interested in our dance group. Just not at 7:30 on a Saturday fucking MORNING.
