making your party hip

girrll, are you all frazzled out about that upcoming party? petrov has come to the easy conclusion of how to save an oodle of time when has a party. normally petrov sits down and builds a 4-6hour playlist of music, making sure there is a proper flow to the songs and that there is nothing too off the wall or party-killing thrown in there. there is lots of good music, but good music doesn't mean it is necessarily good party music. for this reason its important you are capable of making the distinction.

for the last six months or so petrov has been listening to the Liberation Dance Party (LDP) podcast, a podcast of the actual music played every friday night at DC9's, you guessed it, LDP. It seems to have that right mix of stuff everyone knows and the fun new stuff to keep things interesting.

Collect your podcast here and then don't tell anyone that is what your playing at your party... and *poof* you magically won't kill ur party with Fergie.

Petrov has yet to make it to LDP because it is a primarily straight event and getting a gay to go there with him is like trying to get a gay to watch football. This week Taint is co-hosting LDP for Reel Affirmations fundraiser, DC's LGBT film festival. YAY petrov can go.... well not quite. Petrov has to pack for Africa so he can leave bright an early Saturday morning for Dulles Airport, bleck. LDP/Taint are going to have cabaret and burlesque dancers and everything. Argh, it seems like whenever one leaves town, all the good shit rolls into town. Figures. See Taint's email below for more info on the your friday night dance groove.
