F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
Drinks: I like Jack Daniels, and would also possibly partake of some Scotch. And I love martinis (gin), the dirtier the better, but have no brand preference.
Food: I will beg for the antipasto tray if necessary, and the cheese platter.
Music: "Bohemian Like You", The Dandy Warhols; "The Pop Singer's Fear of the Pollen Count", The Divine Comedy; "Stacy's Mom", Fountains of Wayne; "Skullcrusher Mountain", Jonathan Coulton; "Hounds of Love", The Futureheads; "Destroy Everything You Touch", Ladytron; "The One You Love", Rufus Wainwright. You know, assuming anyone else besides me wants any of these songs.
I looooove "Stacy's Mom".
Because she's got it goin' on.
But get some Bowie into it. Suffragette City would be apropos, IMO.
I'll put in a call for "Golden Years." Because it's so fun.
"Bohemian Like You", The Dandy Warhols
And "We Used to Be Friends," for the VM fans. And "I Am a Scientist." For me. Because it's so fun.
"Destroy Everything You Touch", Ladytron
"Playgirl" has a nice dance-y beat. And it's pretty. Same for "Blue Jeans."
Oh, I imagine the Arctic Monkeys' "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" would be appropriate.
We are saving at least ten songs - maybe more - for classic rock.
We reallyo trulyo are.
I am prepared to be (Debet! Theft alert, I'm stealing your phrase because I love it) Wicked Pissy about it.
Seriously. There were maybe a handful of songs that I even recognised on the DC list. Power pop for the children is fine, but me and my Grey Panther homies, well, we're digging in heels for something recognisable this time.
Or, at least, I am....
I'm marking posts.
Eww.
Brown hyenas actually produce two different substances with which to mark their territory. One wears off fairly quickly, and announces to other pack members where they've been recently. The other lasts for weeks, and warns off other hyena packs. And that, my friends, is one talented arse.
Hey! Get hold of the Rogue Traders'
Voodoo Child!
And that, my friends, is one talented arse.

Classic R&B, Motown, Classic Bollywood, Merseybeat, Psychedelia, etc. etc.
Motown
Shake Me, Wake Me, by the Four Tops. Woot!
Psychedelia
Covered by the Stones, She's A Rainbow. Anything from Satanic Majesty's Request fits that particular bill.
Classic Bollywood
Musically? I have no clue what that is.
I'm pretty easy as far as food goes, so I imagine anything other than 8 trays of jalapeño poppers will be fine with me. I'll just list a set of probable favorites with the caveat that making sure we have plenty of suitable fare for vegetarians is my only real concern:
Spanakopita $140.00
Assorted Quiche $130.00
Fried Prawns with Lemon and Cocktail Sauce $180.00
Domestic Cheese Board with Sliced Fresh Fruit $100.00
Domestic Cheese Board Served with variety of Breads and Crackers $125.00
Antipasto Tray with Artichokes, Olives, Salami, Pepperoncini, Roasted Peppers, Bread Sticks and Mozzarella Cheese $125.00
Assorted Aram Sandwiches $140.00
Much as I love California rolls, sushi, like revenge, is a dish best served cold. I'm not overly confident of its suitability as a finger food that may need to be out on a buffet for several hours.
Music-wise, I'd personally like to hear Shannon's "Let the Music Play" and "Train in Vain" by the Clash. Also, Seger's "Old Time Rock & Roll" has been the song most likely to get everyone dancing at the bulk of parties I've attended.
