Now that I look at it again, maybe it ain't such a ceilidh after all.

Off She Goes 
Longways duple minor
by Jenny Beer
 
A1 Taking hands with neighbor, women fall back WHILE men come
forward. All set.   Reverse--women forward, men back. Set
again.

A2 1st couple change places with a half gypsy R. Set (starting
towards partner, ending towards neighbor). Turn neighbor 2
hands.
 
B1 Off She Goes!  1st woman takes off down the center followed
by partner. Return as a couple (PROPER) to top place,
turningsingle away from partner into

B2 Circle 4 hands round. With neighbor, turn 2 hands halfwayto
progress. All turn single. (I think of it as circle for 4, 2,and
1).

And, speaking of Ceilidhs, I'm fairly certain I don't have time to organize 
and publicize a dance either...but maybe I have time to do part of that.  
Vanessa is <meier@SSRL01.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU>, yes?  And, yes, Sunday evenings 
do seem like a sensible time, don't they?  Good for students, too, who form a 
pretty plausible group to try to get interested.   I suppose it being a BACDS 
event would preclude having it at a bar?  

thanks for passing on Cathleen's notice, have fun at the gig if you go
