I am evolving an idea for Valentine's Day...since at this point I doubt I'll have a date, perhaps I'll host a get-together:
Bittersweet Valentines Love Song Sing-Along
With sad/bitter/angry/funny love songs for people to sing to! Nancy has already said she'll help out by playing a 2nd ukulele, and maybe others could bring along songs to share & acoustic intruments to play...
Tentative Playlist:
Love Hurts
Love Stinks
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Tainted Love
Your Cheatin' Heart
Plasir D'Amour
Wild World
Once More
You've Really Got a Hold on Me
I'd love to hear from anyone who has some good songs to suggest. I'm not planning this as a singles-only, couples excluded kind of thing...but since most couples are obligated to have a romantic dining experience on Valentine's, it might be all singles by default.

Sorry, but I couldn't possibly spend Valentine's Day singing about how love is so terrible. Love rocks! Anyway, I'll probably spend that day like every other Wednesday - go to class, then go to sleep.
Not about how terrible love is (though that's the theme of some of the songs) but of all the huge emotions that get stirred up around the end of a love affair...There are some absolutely great songs!
Anyway, I doubt I'll be able to make it a reality this year, since I realized that Pantheacon starts the next day-I need to rest up for the conference. But I'll still collect the songs because they're so cool, funny, sad, sentimental, filled with pathos, bitterness, understanding, and love.
