Are any mefites going to the Electro-Music festival next weekend?

Post 247667 by sonascope deleted for the following reason: Hey, this isn't really a good fit for Ask but would be 100% okay for you to post on IRL as a event-type meetup proposal (and, bonus points, folks in the area who have meetup notifications turned on will actually be alerted to the post). Go ahead and do-over yonder. -- cortex

Post 246678 by KRS deleted for the following reason: I don't think there is going to be any legal way to do this. You may need to make the question into a "How do I solve this problem" question rather than a "How do I get this in a way that is certainly not legal" one. -- jessamyn

What song lyric(s) do you always get wrong, and you don't care?

Post 246178 by Bathtub Bobsled deleted for the following reason: Hate to do this, but this is pretty much chatfilter.
