--------- JustDance! ---------
I enjoy dancing to 80's music. Joes' Brewery @ UIUC has Retro 80's night every Thursday, so guess where I am EVERY Thursday night?! Many of my friends are people that I know who hang out there... but much of the credit of the Dance At Joes' mailing list must go to Keith Garner because he is the one who inspired everyone and started this mailing list and this group of dancing friends.
Starting this year though, Keith handed over the dance-at-joes@uiuc.edu mailing list to me, which I now maintain and try to keep "active" through creative 80's song lyrics rewordings. Most everything here is for my enjoyment. Feel free to read these highlights from the mailing list. Non-song posts that have some humorous material are clearly labed. Songs with "()"'s on the end of the title are reworded.
