I have every intention of going to SappyFest this year in Sackville, NB. I don’t know how, or if I will in any way be able to afford it, but I want to start a dance party like that.
I’ve been getting frustrated lately by shows around Halifax. I guess I just don’t understand why you would pay money to go watch a band and then just stand there, arms folded, looking for all the world like you’d rather be getting a colonoscopy. Bobbing your headed ever so slightly, thinking about grocery lists and how stupid the guy next to you looks. Come on! I went to see The Bad Arts/York Redoubt/The Lodge at the Bus Stop Theatre on Sunday and I’m pretty sure I was the only one who danced. Everybody else was probably thinking: what a loser.
So much about me falls into the indie hipster category these days. I go to King's, I work at a bookstore, I ride a bike and have a funky haircut and stupid glasses. I drink Propellor and have been to maybe five Dog Day shows. My boyfriend is a barista and yeah, we both wear American Apparel sometimes when we’re drinkin’ our lattes and readin’ the Coast and *****in’ about bein’ broke.
But sweet merciful Zeus, I love to dance, and I don’t really care about looking stupid doing it. So the next time you find yourself in a room full of casual observers and loud music, I urge you to consider this and start a twist contest. Do the wave. Make people laugh and maybe they’ll join in?
