Please don't be like the WMDs. Actually I'm glad you canceled this last time because I was in a plane coming back to Seattle that night.

Relating to the initial question, one of our most popular venues in San Diego is an outdoor venue. At least, I'm told it's popular, I rarely make it there. It is an awesome location right on the bay, behind a resort, with a restaraunt and bar just seconds away. Sand is put on the conrcrete to make it easier to dance on. I personally hate dancing on concrete, but apparently it doesn't bother most people.

That would raise an interesting conflict of interest: playing good music to win the DJ battle or play bad (or exhausting or boring) music to intentionally throw the other contestant off in the dance-off.

A more interesting battle would be to play the OTHER DJ's preference: I play my "classic" music from before 1945, and he plays his "groove" music from after 1960. Then again, he might object to this alternative to boxing at the flagpole because it might only get us to appreciate the other's tastes and preferences a bit more.

that would make for an interesting battle.

but why would i own music I dont like?

The losers would be the audience because the DJ is playing music he doesn't know or like.

Only during his set.

... which is kinda my point (and Ron's a few month's ago).... He might actually benefit from losing the shades and dropping the attitude so he can see WHY so many people dig different kinds of swing music, not just the classic stuff: outdoors AND indoors. (Obthread reference).

The reason I play classic stuff is not because I resentfully want to please a stupid crowd of unenlightened classic freaks who don't agree with my ultimate preference for more modern music, as he has implied several times. I play the classic stuff because it's also great stuff and provides not only a history lesson but also some different flavor/rhythm for everyone to enjoy.

If he learned to enjoy more than just ham and cheese sandwiches, he might enjoy lunchtime a bit more and not try to fight everyone after school.

I understand why everyone enjoys different types of music. It comes down to personal preference. There is just a lack of a particular style of music at most of "our" events. If people truly dont enjoy that style of music outdoors or indoors than thats fine. But if they dont enjoy it simply because they lack the skills required to dance to it, thats a whole other story.

you have to taste a little bit of everything before you can truly refine your tastes. I have tasted it all and found only one thing really satisfies my appetite.
