Quiet Disco (stille disco)

Let's see, yesterday I met with OutPOCPAC, and I've got an interview with Chinese TV in about an hour or so...

This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around.

And then I venture off to Williamsburg for a Quiet Disco, where all the dancers wear wireless headphones. This is not, of course, worth mention on a political blog, though I'll use it as a sample for the kind of sightings I hope you'll send me, like: "I saw Hilary Clinton dancing in wireless headphones."

Welcome to the Quiet Disco. Born of noise complaints in the Netherlands, this scene (Dutch kids call it stille disco) puts dancers in wireless headphones. Each headset is tuned to receive transmissions directly from the D.J. booth, where turntables are connected through a mixer to a small radio transmitter. Ms. Dougherty was so taken by her first silent disco, witnessed at a 2003 festival in Rotterdam, that she applied for a grant with the San Francisco?based Black Rock Arts Foundation to start one here. Her proposal was approved. She placed an order for 50 pairs of wireless headphones, which arrived last week.
