StuntHusband! Nice to see you posting. I was unable to attend the F2F this year, but loved watching the video of you dancing with Jilli. At prior F2F events lovely Jilli has danced alone.
It added another level to the sad and missing, but I couldn't help but be delighted to see the swoopiness.
I will stick around this time. :)
And I never, ever turn down a chance to dance with Jilli.
Nor should you.
You two are gorgeous together on the dancefloor. And snarky fun together off.

I'm still REALLY upset that you were gone by the time 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' FINALLY played. Might be my mind playing tricks, but I swear it was mere minutes after you'd left.
In any case, still VERY nice to see your fonts here.
(eyes come to sharp points)
My StuntWife didn't mention Bela. I freely admit she was, in the days after the F2F, busy with Other (bookbookbook) Things - but STILL.
I would have swooped mightily to Bela. It's the Anthem, after all. (Well, so is "This Corrosion" - but that's better music. Bela is just mockery from Bauhaus that we out-mocked by embracing it. Silly Bauhaus.)
Wait, Portland this weekend? I have both Saturday AND Sunday off! It is a major event, and once that will not be duplicated again (having July 4 as a not-work-day) for many many years. I am in NE but can easily get anywhere (except Gresham, which i refuse to visit on principle.)

Do not blame Jllli. I had gotten over the expectation of ever hearing it, due to the ND's democratic-via-i-Pod song process (no onus on him, though - any other policy under the circumstances would have been maddening for him). Much the same way that I thought I wouldn't hear the Buffy theme all night (but basically missed it due to the volume at the time).
"This Corrosion"
DAMMIT! I didn't even think of that and I adore that song.
"This Corrosion" is the "ring a bell, watch the goths dance" Pavlov song. When it plays at the Club on Saturdays, we have to look at each other and judge our willingness to brave the Drunken Crush. (Oh, and whether or not the PetDJ is playing the reasonable 6-ish-minute long version, or the "Oh god, my feet!" 13-minute version.)
In one of the other threads someone - ita, I think - was inquiring about the use of "polar bear" and it occurred to me - is Matilda the youngest Buffista sprog to be commed? or does another have that, um, honor?
I have to say, I thought that the whole whacky iPhone method of making a playlist worked unexpectedly well. There were lots of songs that I liked lots.
