Roundup — Mousetrap: Pride Edition

Thanks again to everyone who came out to the TNG-sponsored Mousetrap: Pride Edition party at the Black Cat on Saturday night. We packed the house with homos, or so it seemed from the DJ booth/stage. Thanks again to Mark Zimin for allowing us to co-host his monthly dance party with him. Mark reports that 727 people turned up!

To all of you who weren't aware of the Mousetrap before showing up on Saturday, it's always a fun night and I encourage you to check it out again. It's usually held on the 2nd Saturday of the month, and the next one is on July 12. Hopefully we'll see you there.

We are still in search of some pictures from Saturday night's event. I brought my camera but was too busy DJing and having fun to remember to take any photos. Got pics? Send them to me!

Finally, we have a few irons in the fire for a regular TNG dance party. Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes open for news along that front. In the mean time, make sure to swing by our "Pride Recovery" party this Thursday.

I've reproduced the set list from Saturday below the fold.

Oh, and apologies to anyone who requested a song that we didn't play. We had quite a few requests and a pretty long list of "essentials" that we tried to work in. Between that and keeping with the britpop theme of the evening, a few requests slipped through the cracks. We'll play 'em next time!
