Today I was sitting in front of my computer taptaptapping when I became inexplicably sad. After 10 minutes of looking at pups failed to cheer me up, I realized the problem-- It was Dance Party Friday, but the prospect of a Dance Party was so far off as to be impossible. I estimate that 200 consecutive Fridays have gone without a proper Dance Party prefix.
We've gone soft under the pretenses of professionalism, education, adulthood, whatever. You can blame dubstep, but when you get right down to it the only responsible parties are we who lack the impetus to invite a bunch of strangers over and flail around in their proximity. And no, James, swing doesn't count.
But even in this time of darkness and obligations and joint pain, there's hope yet for the sacred brotherhood (seriously, no girls allowed) of Dance Party. While we've all gotten fat and lame and normal, Channel 12 is still out there keeping it super weird at 5am when no one's watching.
So pump the bass and hide your valuables, because after 4 years of buildup something's likely to get knocked over.

Kings of the World
Check this out:

Now read between the lines:
For the purposes of full disclosure, Obama is coming to my city to visit Madison's king. That's right, he called me and asked if I would be available to discuss my scathing critique of Teach For America and other heated issues facing education, film, music, and television today. I look forward to sharing Bud Light and then taking him on a afternoon game of hoops.

Thank You, Local News!
And now, the news in reviews...
Your dreams make me sad Cheryl Hintze
Soccer moms are taking to the parking lots to celebrate the opening of a new Target in Sun Prairie. Little do they know, there are already 3 Targets in Madison.
Our very own NBC15.com investigates:
Target Stores are bucking the bad economy and opening new locations across the country including bringing nearly 200 jobs to the Madison area.
Taking a cue from Badger Saturdays, a group of Sun Prairie mothers are partying in anticipation. It is a big day at the new Target in Sun Prairie but long before this very average store opening hits, the parking lot is playing host to a quite unique party. It is the furthest you can get from a men's tailgate party. No beer guzzling or burping here, this one is women only.
...
It is a tent and table that have seen a lot of tailgating action for things like Badger Games but never has a group pulled out all the stops like this for a department store. Kostelnik says, "I was handing out the flyer and people were laughing at me so yeah, I think they thought we were crazy." Close to two dozen women flow in and out, many of them stay at home moms just waiting for the doors to open.
Tailgater Cheryl Hintze says, "I'm so excited. To have shopping within two miles of my home is a dream."
...
At a party like this how could you not? When all is said and done the Sun Prairie store will employee 180 people.
