So hip you can’t see over your own pelvis
I’ve plugged it at Metroblogging DC, and I’ll plug it here as well. DJ lil’ e is spinning her monthly “Right Round” 80s alt-pop dance party tonight at the Black Cat (backstage). Starts at 9:30, cover is $5.
I’ve never been to the Black Cat before, mostly because nothing going on there was able to pry me out of my lifetime habit of walking around feeling neither pretty enough to be one of The Pretty People, nor hip enough to be a proper hipster. But since DJ lil’ e’s secret identity is a mild-mannered creative agent in the very office I work in, I have sufficient interest in this event to pry myself out of my comfort zone and go do something new. Perhaps I will uncover some sort of latent coolness within myself. Also, I have been very helpfully educated in the art of not being a lamer- don’t request Michael Jackson or Madonna. It’s an alt-pop party. 
Come join me. It’ll be fun.

Ah, I’ve been to the ‘Cat. It was pretty lame when I went, although I totally dug the Red Room. I understand it’s normally uber-cool, but my forays there haven’t impressed me enough to get back there. I do, though, hope you have a rollicking good time with your k-e-w-l pal!
