These Kids Just Wanna Dance, or The Pure and Simple Exuberance of Dan Deacon

Last night Ryan, Ashes, and I went to see Dan Deacon play at the Paradiso [a sweet venue that used to be a church].  The Pains of Being Pure at Heart opened - they were great [take note of the keyboardist on the right - holy crap is she hot].  

Words/videos/pictures will never do justice to a Dan Deacon show - you have to be there, dancing your ass off, surrounded by a buttload of sweaty people all having the time of their life, consumed by the music.  Amazing.  Dance contest rules: 1] Keep it "sassy as fuck" 2] You have to maintain eye contact with your opponent.  3] The current dancer, when done, chooses which teammate dances next.  4] No cowards.

We danced till our limbs hurt.  

Also, I bear-hugged Dan Deacon at the end of the show.  Ryan too.
