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.

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*

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!
