There are many, many retards in DC with too much disposable income.  This is America. Bad taste runs rampant. I'm sorry if that smacks of Brian Wallalce language, but it's quite true.

People who say DJs have no talent are the same people who make crappy mix CDs.
 
 I like me a good dance night once in a while, but that article actually makes some pretty good points.  Mousetrap has been feeling stale for many years now.  I guess it's comforting to know it's there, like an old dog by the fireplace.
 
 
 I still miss Panic!, but after all this time, that would probably be feeling stale by now too, if it had kept on.
 
 As for underwear parties... quelle freshman year.
 
 Bliss-Pop is one of the best, I think, because Will always puts enough variety and new stuff mixed in to keep it fresh.  It lost a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, however, when it got too big for the little back room at the Black Cat... intimacy was one of its charms.
 
 
 I haven't been to the Hirshorn one, but that actually sounds promising were it done well.  How do you host a dance night in a museum, though, isn't there a danger of drunks puking on the art?
 
 Does the Wag still happen?  I thought that was one of the better ones too, though sadly ill-attended on the times I went (and nobody I know goes   :(   )

Bliss still happens on the backstage at the Cat (and sometimes the mainstage when there is a band)
 
 The Hirshorn thing primarily happens outside around the fountain.
 
 Wag is still going on as well.

I find it humorous that Gridskipper has a gripe with some of the dance nights having an elitist attitude yet in order to make a comment on their site you have to be approved in advance HAHA

Seriously, the gawker network sites have linked to my site at least a dozen times, have quoted me more than once, yet I'm still not approved to make comments.
