Posted: 4/6/2008 2:30:27 PM | Thanks Mach. We ladies usually get what we want eventually LOL
LT...love your spirit...you go girl
Muree: Dare I mention one more song that always fills a dance floor? Billy Jean by Michael Jackson. As they used to say on American Bandstand, good beat and easy to dance to. Anyone who can sit still during that song is not from this planet. Agree?
Thanks for the kind words, Joy. So glad we are all on the same page. 
Hey, why don't we all put blindfolds on so no one feels self conscious about having two left feet . Now just take a moment to picture that.  | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 4:39:31 PM | Hey Muree,
Sure is a long song list. Somehow, I have a feeling the DJ will not be doing that many requests. They usually have their own thing set up and I just wonder if this guy will bend much. Lets hope he does, because we got some awesome music and a great crowd to boot!

Posted: 4/6/2008 5:06:12 PM | I'm liking the visual of all of us blindfolded!!! that truly would be hilarious!! on a more serious note: Laurie.....so glad you and Mike4u are buddies..he is a true-blue sweetie!!!
Good luck on that wherever it goes!!!
I emailed some favorites to come with friends and then just surfed around inviting people!!!
I want to see that floor covered and maybe if we have the majority wb will have to follow our request lists!!
Mach and Joy...did you ask yet if we can have them teach us line dances? insteadof couples ones? from sat nit fever era? I think that would be fun!!!and get people mingling...
well gotta go oversee homework!!!
CANNNOT WAIT!!!
Bloonde Indian...you coming? | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 6:22:28 AM | hi LT
you are right the list is way too long and i'm still waiting on a response form the owner on what we can do. We may have to whittle it down to a top ten and hope for the best. Their music wasnt that bad, they just were missing many of the other genre's of that time.
I will definitely have an answer, one way or another (oops, theres another song lol) by the end of this week.
Either way, we know how to have a good time, proved that last dance; just need to get more butterflys flirting/flitting!

Posted: 4/7/2008 7:01:51 AM | Some of those songs on that list are pretty lame and some others aren't what I would call dance music. For example "Undercover Angel"????? They play that and I'm headed to the bar.
An experienced DJ should know how to create mood and play the right music at the right time....you actually want the DJ to "control" the crowd. If the DJ knows this, he/she usually has it programmed out to accomplish just that. They might not want to disrupt it with a lot of requests. | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 10:26:13 AM | | I'm not sure, Lisa. My FAVORITE dance partner from the last party isn't sure if he can go. Soooo who will I dance with??? Remember, the guy I introduced you to. And I told you how a few years ago I had met his best friend/neighbor....and then I met him at the dance! Small world! But you and Nancy keep twisting my arm, and so I am starting to feel obligated!!!! lol...ho hum | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 9:02:23 PM | Hey cavemanmark,
I think you have met your match here. I can out do you my friend!
Glad you have joined us all here. How about bringing some of your buddies, the more the merrier.
LT
To UltraJ,
I think you are right about the DJ. If its the guy that usually plays for WB, he's a bit hard to bend the rules. He has his own thing and if we are lucky he will play requests.
I think if we give him a couple bucks he will oblige. | |
