Friday night I went to what I thought was going to be a 80's and 90's dance. I think I was the only one in the bar who was alive and cognizant during the 1980's and 1990's. I had a mostly good time, although there were multiple moments when the DJ put on (presumably contemporary) Hip Hop (I think). In my head I called it "Goth Hip-Hop" because a slow four-four beat underpinned deep voices rapping about something--possibly Making a Sacrifice to Angry, Chthonic Gods. The volume and distortion prevented me from discerning the words, but everyone else was lip syncing along. I found it difficult to dance to with anything but a truncated grape-vine or a fox-trot box step. Occasionally, the DJ would throw in actual music from the 1980's or 90's, or the music would speed up to something dance-able.
On the writing front: Friday was a marketing day. I sent out four manuscripts to various markets and did some editing and writing. Saturday, I received a 20-hour and a 25-hour rejection! From markets that formerly took about four weeks to get back to me. One of the rejections had a quick little note on it, so that was nice -- but it put a twist in my plan to have ten manuscripts in the e-mail by the end of the weekend.
More writing/editing today (Saturday).
