HOUSEKEEPING: A request from Dispatches to all DDR disciples

You don't ever have to lie to me, baby. I know you and your kind. Singles in hand. Furtive glances over the shoulder, just in case anyone you've ever met in your whole life is in the Dave & Buster's. Or perhaps you're not ashamed at all, and you've got a whole crew in tow. Don't sweat it, yo. Those arrows point out to the rest of the world, the planet you're gonna conquer with your sweet sweet moves. It IS an uprising. And you, beautiful baby, are an arcade ass-kickin' Che-shaker. Viva la revolucion de la booty.

Dispatches is planning an extended series of posts about the video game Dance Dance Revolution. Send in your stories - about the scene, the obsession, the ridculousness, and your own enjoyable (or horribly ignominious) performances on the DDR platform. I'll be compiling them, and posting my own experiences right alongside. Thanks in advance.

(For the initiated, here's a video from DJ Format - scroll down to the "video files" section and click through. You'll recognize the conceit almost immediately - and laugh even sooner.)
