Title: For EF 19 - anyone be interested in a 60's-80's pop/rock music party?
Post by: BD on 04.09.2012, 17:14:06
For those of us who would go mad for a dance featuring older pop and rock stuff  - if it was possible to arrange -  I'd offer to help somehow, maybe we could have a small room somewhere with a small but adequate sound system (nothing earth-shaking, just loud enough to hear well in a fursuit!) and a little space for dancing, where we could have a night of '60s, '70s and 80s rock and pop tunes. I'd be willing to try! If it's a big flop and I'm the only one there (at Confuzzled, DJ Swolf started a set with 70's-80's music and I was the ONLY person on the dance floor :), that's life! Anyway just an idea, could add even more diversity to the con.

Please, not again.

We have this topic year after year. And year after year we explain, that we can not do this, due to the German content-mafia AKA GEMA. So unless you are willing to pay thousands of € for the license to play music in public in the hotel, you have to do such a thing as a room party please!

OK sorry, I didn't know. Please delete this before I look too stupid :)

Don't worry, no one would be mad at you. It's just that the German content-mafia is something most Germans HATE and something that increases the Confee for all of us. We really really wish we could offer you more, but that's just not possible right now. Maybe in the future. :3

OK thanks for explaining! Just understand that I am not complaining, I love those dances so much, they are my favorite part of every convention.

I have an idea that would be both legal and doable, but let me explain once I'm home from work. :)

Cool man, I'm curious! The dances are already great, better every year...and if you could do something like that it would be TOO great! Even if I'm the only one dancing :)
