Hey guys, you kinda locked my thread without the point of it being answered! Next time, mods, read the OP before locking a thread when an answer comes up, as the answer may not be to the question that was asked.
What's happening to the DJs? Will the dance just be a winamp playlist or something lame? OK so you've told us it's still happening, but will the dance really be a dance if it's just some guys laptop? What's the deal here.

QuoteSo, my friend was going to DJ at the dance, and, a couple days ago, he told me he wasn't going to, and I was like why, and he was like I got this email:Quote from: An email a friend of mine who was going to DJ received.Hi everyone,
Well, as you all know, due to the lack of our budget, Nessie and I had no choice but to cancel the dance. Again I do understand that many of you had things in mind to play or had even looked forward these many months to be apart of the Dance Department. Your all more than welcome to still attend and see just what kind of sound they plan on having without us. Perhaps next year, it serves as a rude awakening and how important it was for the Dance Department to have their budget much sooner.
For all you DJs I had recruited for this year, I will not forget you guys. We as a whole were treated very wrong so when there is another event and it's very much confirmed with all the "bugs out" of it, I will contact you all to see if you would like to at least play. It's sort of my way of making things up for what has happened to us all. Yes, I am upset about the entire deal with our budget. But now, what's done is done.
So um, what's the deal here?
So, what is it you wanted to now? Why your friend isnt DJing? Ask him/her. Originally, it seemed like you were indirectly asking whether the dance was happening or not and that was answered. I know if you scope the Live Programming forum there is some general information about which DJs are going to play, however a tentative lineup is yet to be posted with times.
On the other thread, if i remember correctly, you asked whether the dance was happening or not. we said it was. I'm not sure what DJ Caen's (thats whos DJing now. I hear the other DJ cancelled) music setup is. I'm sure its going to be fun whatever it is. Relax, and don't be picky. A dance is a dance, we should be hapy we are having one.
I could have sworn this whole issue was clears up :?

and yes it was cleared up.
1) He said it was sent to all the DJ's, and it's certainly written that way.
2) It wasn't cleared up, part of it was.
3) A dance is a dance, but some geek with bad tastes' winamp playlist and a floor isn't a dance. And ya, t's happened at conventions before.
I'm not being frantic, or picky, or anything else you might needlessly read into my words, take them at face value, you'll do much better not making assumptions.

1. You never asked IF it was sent to all DJs, you just said "Whats the deal here?"
2. You never specified which parts you needed clearing.
3. True, some of us saw the dance at AOD06.
I didn't get to stay for the dance at AOD last year, was it bad? thats too bad. Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes. I dont know what kind of music specifically DJ Caen is playing. I could ask her if she has a list but she probably doesnt.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY I'VE GOT DETAILS! *throws confetti*
Okieday, the dance IS friday AND saturday night and starts at ten.
dunno about music. thats up to her, none of my business. it'll be good im sure.

1) Because I KNOW it was sent to all of them.
2) Well excuse me, I opened a forum of discussion, that's why they call these forums.
3) You too? :(

OMG.... that dance was a huge joke! I thought the AOD dance at 2005 wasnt good but AOD2006 wit a smaller place and a ipod speakers? It was soo bad that me and couple friends of ours advertise our room party. The a lots of people came for the room party and the dance ended very quickly.

I think thats pretty enough wit the he say and I know stuff. Ryu confirmed it from the fanime meeting that dance is happening and you're not satisfied? Lets not jump to conclusions that the dance is gonna suck as long they have huge speakers for everyone at the dance to hear. Its already been cleared just like most of the people hear said.
I think you guys are missing his point here. He knows there is a dance, he wants to know about the DJ's - not just the dance.

This topic is still open because he wants to know about the DJ's, not the dance.
I already answered that though to the best of my ability. DJ Caen will be djing, I think I linked her earlier or in one of the other dance threads, or you can just search for her profile on myspace, but I cant go find the link again because I'm at school and myspace is blocked. x.x So go search her to hear one of her songs that she mixed.
DJ Caen has some good music. It's going to be techno, the sound system is supposedly much better than AOD which I hear was crap, and unless DJ Caen feels like posting her music choices.... I dont know what exactly is going to be played.
Its up to the DJ whats going to be played, so you're just going to have to chill and wait to hear whats going to be played there.

Then email someone in the live programming department or pm a mod because that "question" to begin with was general and non-specific.

Yeah I thought so
I'm quoting this from one of the other Dance threads on here.
Quote from: BSaphireI just wanted to let you dance happy Fanime peeps know that Sac Anime Con's DJ... DJ Caen... will be doing Fanime's Dances (yes that is all of them) this year. I know that Autum (DJ Caen) is very much into Eurobeat, beatbox, techno, & trance, but is also a cosplayer and con attendee like the rest of us! Expect some game, anime, and DDR music to filter it's way into the line up too! DJ Caen is NOT an IPOD DJ! So come check out what Sac Anime Fans already know.... DJ CAEN ROCKS THE HOUSE!
*side note ... Sends a kiss... Muwah! Luv ya Autum :P Your the best!
Do we have any more questions or discussion topics?
Quote from: LadyKarenDo we have any more questions or discussion topics?
Yes: Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop? :P
So... apparently I had an account here already >_>;
I figure I should prolly post as I seem to be the center of much mystery and drama.
My name is Autumn / DJ Caen and I will be DJ'ing the dance(s) this Fanime. While I will be the main DJ, I'll more then likely be relieved for a while, seeing as how I need my breaks too :p
For those of you worried bout it being a winamp dance, don't. I have 4 years experience mixing and have enough music (and taste) to keep us goin for days :)
And don't diss laptops, I happen to store all my music on one and use Virtual DJ to mix >_> Better then carrying around pounds of CD's / vinyl.
Erm... i dunno really much else to say that hasn't been said about me xD
Oh, the sound system... I myself personally oversaw the ordering of the equipment, and believe me, these are NOT Ipod speakers :) There will be a total of about 4000-5000 Watts of sound in there plus a small light system and possibly a video screen(s).
This will be one Fanime dance to not miss :) I promise.
<3 Autumn
AUTUMN! -tackle glomp- ily <3
ZOMG are we gonna have a pwnage strobe light? Oh and I'm going to by major glow sticks. I'm so excited. WOOSH.
A relief to hear the DJ give some word. :P
Best of luck to you. Rawk the dance floor like no other. :D
Ok, I just have one question: Where did you see there is a dance on Friday night? And why is there a "Main DJ?"
Ok that was two questions. :P
Quote from: DJ ReignOk, I just have one question: Where did you see there is a dance on Friday night? And why is there a "Main DJ?"

There is no dance friday night.

You didn't answer my question. Read it again...
Quote from: IWhere did you see there is a dance on Friday night?
I'm pretty sure there IS a dance Friday night, but that the schedules didn't really show it i think. Dunno. DJ Caen told me the other day there was a dance on friday and saturday for sure

Look at the live programming schedule. Of course, that could be a preliminary one cause they need to add stuff in. It's on the fanimecon main page.

You know... it's a forum, just because you're looking for drama, rather than discussion, doesn't mean every thread needs to be full of it. I DID get in touch with some staff members, and they said that the dance staff never showed up at meetings and basically slacked off.
If YOU want to participate in another thread, then do it, stop complaining about this one existing, or, go outside and get a fucking life.
Please, someone lock this thread, the drama nazis are prowling and discussion seems to be against the rules.
Thread locked.
Thread unlocked.
He's got a point. It's a thread talking about the dance.
Changed the title - Less Confusion.
Just leave the argumentative tones out of this. Kay?
Quote from: justkitteh... they said that the dance staff never showed up at meetings and basically slacked off.
Not to knock on you or anything, but ...
I seriously doubt the validity of that particular statement ...
... and that is all I will say.

I know I will get flamed for this, but that's really okay.
I just feel that I should point this out to you-- you present yourself negatively, and your attitude or whatever it is-- the tone in what you say, it seems like you're LOOKING for an argument.
You can ask questions nicely, and expect answers in return without any turbulence, right? You can bring up a point if you wanted to, as well, but telling someone to "go outside and get a fucking life" and calling people who disagree with you "drama Nazis" is uncalled for.
And by now, it seems that every question you threw at us has been answered. Hiro wasn't calling you out, either-- he was making a suggestion.
If you have a question that you need specifically answered, contact the higher-ups via e-mail. If you have a question open for discussion post them here-- but was there really anything left to discuss, before this thread became the "Dance Discussion" thread?
Alright anyways... lets just say that theres gonna be some good mixes at fanime yes? Thank you ;D

THAT'S ENOUGH! He was just TELLING u something without trying to cause drama, you're the one who started this thread in the first place. And u just tell him to get a fucking life over him just making suggestions to u?
I know YMH better than anyone on this thread and he is NOT stupid he is not a drama nazi and he has a BETTER life. You need to go outside and fuckin chill man and take those words that u said to him back and apologize! That attidude you're showing is asking for more drama. Remember u started this thread about a dance and not start drama.
And I strongly agree wit Jun-Watarase. And I thank him for pointing this out.
Lock please. Its getting even more out of control.
*bangs head on wall*
Okay, people. Drop the topic. Things were said. SHUT UP ABOUT IT.
Sheesh. This proves people cannot take handle any of this maturely.
Locked again.
