Are you a DJ? Anthrocon is looking for talented and skilled DJs to help keep the party going each night of the convention! (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).

Anthrocon requires audition mixes to be sent in by any DJs interested in performing at the convention.*

Rules for audition submissions:

1. Your mix must be 30-90 minutes in length
2. Your mix should showcase the genre of music you want to play
3. Beatmatching and Phrasematching is not required, but will factor into the selection process
4. Please include details on the equipment you use, and whether you would need Anthrocon to provide anything (mixers, turntables, adapters, cables, etc)
5. Please specify if you are auditioning for the traditional ballroom dances, or the "Fursuit Friendly" alternative dance, or both.

The deadline for auditions is December 1st 2008**. Any submissions sent in after this date will NOT be considered.

Submissions can be sent to dance-2009 at anthrocon dot org. If e-mail is not an option, we can work out another method. Just send an email to that address to get the ball rolling.

* Veteran DJs, that is DJs who have played Anthrocon in recent years, do not need to send in audition mixes. Simply state your interest in returning and you'll be added to the list for consideration.

** The list of DJs should be anounced by February 1st 2009

Why not set up one like late into the night like around midnight or one? After all some furrys do wanna kick up the spice a lil bit. Smiling And then, if anyones so squeaked about something going wrong, it can be monitored.

I think the main problem with an adult rave is legal stuff. It would be easy for someone to say/scream/sue for 'sexual harassment', which would be really bad for both AC's image and the furry fandom's image and could even potentially get it closed down. Not to mention that an adult rave would hurt Anthrocon's reputation as a family friendly convention and would require a LOT more work on an already over worked staff.

In short, an adult rave at Anthrocon entails way to many risks, would require to much work, and over all wouldn't really be worth it.

I'm not sure if I hit the nail on the head or not since I'm horribly tired, but if someone on staff or not would like to add on to or explain my statement in a more concise way, then go ahead.

There's a laundry list of reasons why we don't do this. I'd rather not go into great detail as we'll be here all day.

Think "private party" in the "CSI" context, then extend it to some unwitting person wandering in (who's not the Las Vegas Police Department) and I think it'll sum up every opposition quite nicely.

I guess you'll just have to limit the grinding/dirty dancing to little room parties. I can take pictures if you invite me! Eye-wink

-Okay, we're up to one (1) so far...

Without making any assumptions, what are the genre's this year of the alternative dances?

None of our dances have genres set in stone, but keep in mind the alternative dances are intended for fursuiters (non suiters are still welcome!!), so the tracklist you plan should be "fursuit friendly".
