After two long days of shredding Whitewater Ski Resort here in BC, the crew, with the welcome addition of Casey Vandenbroek and A.J. Hobbs, headed up to Mike’s Pub to let off some steam. Located at street level in the historic Hume Hotel, Mike’s tends to bring in a wide sampling of local Nelson color.
Last night was no different, with Casey, Justin and I getting our dance on with some ladies from the Cheesecake Burlesque show tour that just wrapped up in Nelson. The ladies were still in their costumes, with all their womanly parts on display, and Casey took no time in getting a dance party started with them.
The highlight of the whole evening was meeting Ms. Judith Stein, who recently was inducted into the Burlesque Hall of Fame. At 62 years of age, she taught us some moves that were barely legal on the dance floor. I wish we had more time to hang with Ms. Stein, as I’m sure she has some stories to tell.
After some good songs and some fun dance moves, our little crew said our goodbyes to the ladies and bid them good luck on their trip back home to Victoria, BC. Next time, I hope we get to see their show!
