does anyone have any recommendations for music that my lovely wife should play this weekend at her program's fundraising party? Specifically, feminist/non-sexist music that is good for dancing? Last year folks complained that the DJs played too much rock, and they wanted to hear more hip-hop, latin music, etc. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

first - did i lend my book 'dread of difference' (about gender and horror film) to anyone??? yeah, it's a long shot, but just in case i lent it out and forgot about it....i was looking for it the other day and it's not anywhere in the house. i hate when books go missing. especially when it's a great text book that i actually read for fun!
additionally:
if anyone knows of anyone looking for a part time job and wants to get a foot in the door with a non-profit, i've just heard about this position (not with my organization, but with another org in my building)
"I am looking for someone for one-two days per week on a contract basis. Sometimes I will be able to offer a contract for a period of weeks/months, and at other times I will need someone on an as needed basis.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise:
* Fluent written and spoken English (able to write correspondence and conduct phone interviews, transcribe phone interviews, synthesize transcriptions and write related reports, able to write minutes/meeting notes),
* Excellent telephone manner,
* Advanced literacy in MSWord, Adobe Acrobat/PDF, MSPowerPoint, Outlook/Outlook express,
* MSWord: write general correspondence, mail merging, printing envelopes and labels,
* Adobe Acrobat/PDF: ability to convert documents to PDF and to insert/delete pages,
* Familiarity with MSExcel: develop tables, familiarity with basic formulas, able to develop graphs/charts with data.

* Able to coordinate meeting logistics (venue planning, catering, AV, participants attendance),
* Ability to multi-task,

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know?
How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'?
Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything.
Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.
