Gearin' Up for Lumos!

[geoviki]

Blah blah hot blah blah quick post before I melt blah blah...

Music! Here's another Tiga - Jake Shears tune: You Gonna Want Me parthenia14 is whinging that Jake's too thin and too naked in his photos. My view is: how is that possible? As a former stripper, he probably feels like he's wearing a full-length duster.

So. Lumos. Yeah!

I want to dispell any qualms you may have about coming up and introducing yourself in Vegas. I get the feeling a few of you think I'm liek scary or something. Not true!

You can find me at the Irish Pub a lot, it seems. I plan to be at the H/D meetup at noon and 10 on Thursday and the Snarry one at 7:30. And another H/D on Friday from 4-6ish at the pool.

I'm a fill-in panelist at the Snape/Draco panel on Saturday morning 9:00 - 10:15 with Femmequixotic and Goseaward and Titti.

And I'm filling in on another panel on Saturday at 2:30 with EmmaGrant01, Furiosity, Sioniann, and I don't know who else. We're talking about crack!fic.

In case you think I'm highfallutin': here's the song I'm listening to right now. The Commodores - Brick House. So cringeworthily not PC, but I defy you not to dance when you listen to it.

Only a few days! WHEEE!!!!!!

Hell, yes, "Brick House." God, that takes me back.

One of my goals for Lumos is to find a place with a DJ who plays music like that, so we can all go dancing. Prob. Sat night, the way things are shaping up. I already talked to the resort concierge, and they only will be having, like, tasteful live music. She seemed puzzled that I wanted to find a place to dance that has music like that. When pressed, she admitted that the tackier casino across the street has music like that.

Guess where I'm headed?

Do you remember I mentioned going to your university with 200 high school musicians a few years ago? Well, on that trip, we went on a night cruise around Manhattan, and as the boat was positioning itself to view the Statue of Liberty, this song was blasting on the dance floor! Needless to say, the connection will remain with me for life.

After this song, they did play some patriotic thing, and whatever that song was has faded from memory. But could I forget 'Brick House'? Never!

I'd kill to dance to "Brick House" with some of you at Lumos. Also, Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good." I don't suppose you have a copy of that available . . . *wheedles*

[meri-oddities.livejournal.com]

Heh. Maybe we can arrange that. I'm bringing dancing clothes!

[cordelia_v]

Oh, I am definitely going dancing on Sat. night. The only questions are: 1) can I actually locate a place that has music that's this tacky and danceable and 2) how many people are coming with me!

[meri-oddities.livejournal.com]

It's Las Vegas. There must be someplace where we can find the right kind of music. *g*

And I think all you'll have to do is ask...

[cordelia_v]

Well, I asked my flist, and for the barter price of one Snarry drabble (which is no hardship, natch. I mean, I was afraid I've have to pony up some Draco fic, to get this), sociofemme uploaded the Chaka Khan over here. Go check it out!

I'm thinking I might go to the H/D pub meet. And I'll be at the crack!panel fer sure.

*g*

Also, The Commodores are awesome.

Ooh, looks aside, I have to say that I like that Tiga-Shears track. Although he did look a little scrawny in the infamous picture - do you have any better ones?

Lumos! *sighs*

Have fun, and have a drink (or eight) for me!

Is there a place listing all the H/D get togetherw? Know about the one on Thursday night at 10 (will also be at the Snarry one at 7;30) but don't know about the other ones.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

A complete list is here. :-D

Can't wait to see you!

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

Thanks! See you soon.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited to see you! Do you need my phone number so we can meet up Wednesday?

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

You sent your cell number earlier! I get in at about 4, but the first Knight Bus doesn't run until 6 PM, by which time there'll be a huge crowd, so I hope to get on the damned thing. I remember it being such a fiasco in Salem, too.

I'm excited!!!!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

D'oh! How did I forget that I sent it already? This doesn't bode well for the week... ;-)

I will continue to pout over here about not being able to attend Lumos, but will double my resolve for Prophecy next year. And just cuz I love y'all, might I point out that geoviki's laptop could provide all the tunes you'll need for a disco fest in any locale you choose. Hospitality suite, baby.

And then I'll go back to pondering how The Commodores could go from Brick House to Easy Like Sunday Morning. It's like all the funk in them went into that one song and then they were all funked out.
