Blowing Out a Playlist with Michael Jackson

The people have spoken! First, people demanded a themed 30, then they requested the hits of yesteryear, so as a accommodating hosts, we delivered and give you, The Throwback 30.  We do what we can to please dancers.  (Plus I have had a secret desire to blow out a playlist with Michael Jackson.)

The playlist is packed with the dancinest (take note Webster's) beats the yonder side of 1990*.  So dress accordingly!  The black lights will be making yet another appearance so make sure to bring their friends, neon and white and whatever else that glows. (Don't forget your neon highlighters!)

Unfortunately, we still have to establish this ground rule:  Dancers=Welcome.  Standers=Explicitly Uninvited. :( Sorry, standers, we still love you but until you move to the groove, this 30 is not for you.

Now in a moment of seriousness.  We have been borrowing the speaker system for Battleschool as facilitated by the lovely (but taken) Amy Nguyen.  Battleschool has need of their speakers, so we are going independent and buying a speaker system for ourselves, so we are asking for a suggested donation of $3, but anything you can give helps.  Donations can be dropped off at the 30 at the Audio/Visual table.  We call this effort For the Love of Bass in order to ensure future Dirty 30s and thusly to ensure future generations do not end up as standers (gasp!).  Do it for the children!

Please reply to this email with your RSVP (Attending, Maybe, Declined).  The invite is open.  So send!  FWD!

*As a disclaimer:  After poring over nearly 400 of the Billboard 100s of each year of the 1980s, I could not compile a playlist that meets the standards of a playlist of the Dirty 30.  So the playlist will have A LOT of 80s hits, but will not be completely 80s in order to maintain the quality you've come to expect of the Dirty 30.  Sorry 80s, ya should have danced harder.  But, with that said, please help us out with 80s (or regular) requests!  Please still dress in your favorite 80s get up!
