pgh-goth-list Digest, Vol 34, Issue 25

Mon Jun 26 12:03:55 EDT 2006

WTF is clog dancing music???  But if tapdance uses little tiny metal plates and   Clogs use big wooden blocks (disguised as shoes) against the tile floor... seem to me we could come up with something a little more appropriate to the genre.  Steel heel-caps against sheet metal perhaps?  

But I repeat: WTF IS CLOG DANCING MUSIC???  With the image in my mind of the idiots I've known who happened to wear clogs, it quite frankly terrifies me.  ~sc'eric

Good point. Why yes, it has changed. And I think that certain dance
styles go with certain types of music, so I guess if all you know how
to do is stomp up and down in your boots, then I could see why all you
would want to hear is the stompy music, but if you know a bunch of
different styles of dance, you wouldn't mind hearing a variety. 

Having been going to dance clubs since my mom used to take me to the
local "discotek", I have observed numerous trends in club dancing
styles over the years, and I've studied salsa, swing, and I teach
bellydance. 

Maybe what the youth today needs is a few dance lessons?

You make it sound like everyone over 25 are huge bores.  I, for one,
probably have more "sheer energy" than most youngins and tend to bring
everyone around me up to my level of Tigger-Bounce, whether in a bar,
my kitchen, or the ER.  I'm well known to be able to get people who
JUST TRIED TO KILL THEMSELVES giggling with me in the back of the
ambulance before we get to the hospital.  I don't need to be
surrounded by 18 yr old airheads in a club to "feel the groove."

So there, nyah!

Dunno about here, but I've been to plenty of clubs that still have them.  Maybe not "chill" as much as "quieter, slower music" rooms.   A couple of clubs have "the other music" rooms, so if the main room is all gothrock the smaller room is stompy electro stuff or old new wave or something.

>Oh yeah.  "Separate space."  I guess we generally have enough trouble convincing them to rent us one room, huh?  ~sc'eric

(Ok,  time for another  stupid question from the new guy.)

"Convince" them to rent you space?  WTF is this, some sort of communal living situation where we all vote on business transactions?   I have very little experience  running clubs, but the club owners we dealt with `were always:  "You have money, yes?  You would like to rent space, yes?  Ok, we rent to you!"   Maybe the minimums were more than we could afford, but as long as they got paid there wasn't a need to "convince" anyone to rent to us.

(Where "we" was my friends who did all the business stuff.  I just helped out here and there and listened to them bitch about how much money the clubs charged.)

The worst request I had at Lipservice was a girl came
up to the booth and asked if I had clog dancing music.

And no, I am *not* making that up. Sadly enough, she
was serious.
