Another Orycon Tradition Observed
Nov. 22nd, 2008 12:17 amAt midnight on Friday and Saturday evening, the dance floor at Orycon fills up. People who don't generally stick around for the dance pour into the ballroom. Why? It's tradition.
The DJ plays Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show and a roomful of people jump to the left, do the pelvic thrust and all the rest of it. And then, when that's done, Boney M's Rasputin is played. The dancers form as large a circle as the dance floor will allow, arms around one another's shoulders as they kick like a chorus line while they dance to the song. Brave or foolhardy souls go out into the middle of the floor and make attempts (of varying quality) to do the cossack dance.
I don't always dance--but I'm always there for this. It's tradition.
