Build-Your-Own DANCE PARTY

Will likely not be online much today, or the next couple of days, as I will be training my replacement at the temp job. Funny thing about being a temp is that sometimes you end up being the only one who knows how to do certain things in the office, which is just a really bad idea all around. But whatever.

The point is: DANCE PARTY. Yes. Sarah P. and I are having a joint book release party on Saturday at WisCon, complete with beer and chocolate martinis, and after the back-patting is all done, there will be madness. So I am putting together a mix, and this is the post where I will take your requests. Rules: If you are going to WisCon, I will honor at least one of your requests, assuming that they aren't so obscure that I can't get my hands on them or so horrible that I can't bear to listen to them. If you aren't going to WisCon and you want to dance vicariously through us, I will take your requests under advisement. DON'T GO CRAZY PEOPLE. I've already got plenty of good stuff in mind, and it's not as if we're going to be dancing for hours and hours. For one thing, the hotel won't let us.

Please note that if you request bad music, I cannot guarantee that you will not be mocked. SUCH IS LIFE.

Later on, lovelies.

Stevie and Prince are kind of my anchors, so they'll be there.

I'm not sure about the WHOLE list, but.

OK, i know people are over the css b/c it was in some commercial? i don't know, i didn't see it. But have you ever danced to that song? completely different experience than the listening.

in fact, in most contexts I am SO over danger high voltage, but i have never danced to it with this crowd and i'd like to see it re-contextualized.

FOR SERIOUS I ONLY GUARANTEED ONE SONG

Yeah, that works. Either that, or just call 'em "Sickmakers."

Not if we mock you.

We could have kind of a soul train line except for air guitar.

[identity profile] silk-noir.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I support this.

[identity profile] silk-noir.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Er, I believe so.

[identity profile] silk-noir.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Will you wear the stuffed animal pants?

[identity profile] silk-noir.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Otherwise I'll have to make a list too, and I thought I was pushing it with my request.

[identity profile] silk-noir.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Er, will there be slow dancing "what happens at WisCon stays at WisCon" segments?

I only wish...horribly, we're not going to WisCon this year. (Bad finances, bad yearly scheduling, bad, bad, bad!) Waaahhh! (Hopefully we'll be back next year.)

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no! I didn't know this; I already miss you guys!

[identity profile] megmccarron.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] stephanieburgis.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! We miss you too. Come to England to promote your book! :)

[identity profile] haddayr.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm with you! I'm in! (Or out; my contribution will be just listening this year.)

But I can bully mightily from the sidelines!

Ooooh I'm a good bully.

[identity profile] haddayr.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
what? what? what?

Did I know this and it fell into one of the holes in my head?

what?

This is not acceptable.

[identity profile] haddayr.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Drums and Drumlins, from Different Drums of Ireland, or Beggerman on the Dohl. I promise they are danceable, and I will provide whichever one you chose. puh-LEASE?

Do not I did NOT submit a list like SOME OTHER PEOPLE.

[identity profile] stephanieburgis.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't argue with that. :(

[identity profile] haddayr.livejournal.com 2008-03-04 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Or "clappy reels!"

Suffice it to say, I submit one rock/Irish trad fusion song with is teH danceable fully I swear to GAWD.
