Dark Sparkle is back with a vengeance this Wednesday May 24th at the ever opulent Cafe Du Nord and we need your help!
We're going to be recording several bumpers and promos for Dark Sparkle Radio and we want YOU in the radio spots.
As we come up on our 7th anniversary, you can tell us a quick story, shout out that "Dark Sparkle Rocks," let everyone know that YOU rock! We don't care, just be yourself and have at it. Simply come up to the booth and we'll record you for posterity.
Even if you don't feel like sharing your velvet smog, come out anyway and have a drink and a dance with us.
We'll see you there...

    Sounds like more good times.

    I noticed on the flyer and the website a sort of Depeche Mode thing going on, is Dark Sparkle going to start highlighting a certain group each event, or is this just a coincidence and I'm wearing a tinfoil hat?

    I think this was the first time I was in the Dark Sparkle gallery. Looking at myself in the background on the dancefloor all serious and concentrating and horse-faced makes me realize why I should not ever be in the galleries.... You should start posting people's phone numbers or email addresses and zodiac signs along with their photos in the galleries. It would make stalking them so much easier for me.... I mean other people....
    • We were originally supposed to be hosting the Depeche Mode record release party for their new remasters on the 24th, but Rhino had to back out at the last minute. It sucks, but I decided to go with the Depeche Mode theme regardless. Their loss! Well...ours too, but what can you do?
      Next time pose for a proper picture and we'll post your digits underneath (zodiac sign optional). You'll have the masses lining up to join you in that booth in no time!
      • Did they back out because the remasters release is delayed? It mentions June 6 on the remasters microsite...
        • That's the jist of it. We would have had the promo copies for giveaways a full 2 weeks before the official release date. It didn't seem to be problem until the last minute. Boo!

            Outfit: planned
            Hair: did
            Car: reserved
            Make-out booth: staked out
            Boogie: ready to jump up
            Dark Sparkle: tonight

            Rhino puts out (heh heh... ) some good products, but their schedules and licensing could use some serious work. It was awesome that they released the Jem & The Holograms series on DVD, but it was not so awesome that they only released 2/3 of the series before letting their licensing deal lapse and left us high and dry while we wait for Sony to get off its fat a** and re-release everything, including the final installment.
            • Indeed...Rhino is truly outrageous!
              Er, sorry.
              • I'd love to do a radio spot for you in which I sing the praises of Dark Sparkle in my best opera-style singing voice. (I'm kidding....)

                  I'd love for SixxSeven to do a radio spot where she imitates the Oprah shout (like when she says "Joooohhhnnnn Trraaaaavvoooolltaaaaaa!!") and says "Daaaaaarrrrrkkkkk Ssssppppaaarrrrrkkle!" (I'm totally not kidding....)

                  Wow, thanks for the Dark Sparkle last night. Totally fun. It was way past my bedtime but they kept playing such good music that I couldn't leave for a half an hour past my ETD. You know I definitely had to go when I left during a Siouxsie song.... My legs are a little sore today from all the non-stop dancing. Can I sue Dark Sparkle for that?

                  I was so happy (um, but, like, darkly happy....) that they played "But Not Tonight." That's my favorite DM song. I was going to try and start a "What Depeche Mode songs should they play at the next Dark Sparkle?" thingy in here to keep the theme going, but I got distracted by a shiny piece of tinfoil and forgot.

                  OK, if someone dances really close to you and kind of gyrates around you, does that mean that they want to totally make out with you? I think I might be learning..... So if someone dances by you does that give you permission to ram your tongue down their throat? Or are you supposed to wait for them to make the first move?

                  I loved Margo's hair last night. And speaking of great hair, someone tell that really tall guy with the floppy hair that he better watch his back from now on. He has the most amazing hair, and I always wanted hair like that, so I'm going to hide a Weed Whacker in my bangs and cut his hair off and then turn around and show it to him because I'm so jealous.

                  I don't know if the next event's date is top secret or not, but I realized when I got home that I will actually be back on that date so I will be able to rock it up in the club. I will be totally jet-lagged, but willing and able to participate.
