Dance Club Only
FOUND by Beth
in Blacksburg, Virginia
This note was found at Virginia Tech outside of a professor's office one afternoon. This professor likes to listen to techno, so I found the note to be particularly fitting.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Some finds deserve diversions. You know where to click. Hoodies and Jackets girl awaits you.
In case you missed the tiny link that the FOUND staff modestly posted for about 30 seconds a couple of weeks ago, there is a brilliant interview with Davy Rothbart that you might want to check out:
http://www.jewcy.com/daily_shvitz/finders_and_
And of course if everyone already knew about this and I'm the last to know, then I'm a schmuck. But that's OK, too.
i imagine this was taped to a snack cart, like with juice boxes and cookies.. i always hated exclusive snacks.
Thanks Midlife... Even if everyone else saw it, I certainly need reminders!! (Schmux 'R' Us!!)
I knew nothing whatsoever about the interview, but I'm going there now. Thanks Midlife!
Also, people keep mentioning hoodies and jackets girlsl. All I see is "One of 40 dresses." And that one's not my style at all, it's pretty ugly, no offense.. Where are the hoodies and jackets? Cuz I'm more of a hoodie and jacket girl than a one of 40 dresses girl.
The "one of 40" girl looks like her head was photoshopped on someone else's body. All these girls look frightened and drugged, as if American Apparel were really a porn-movie ring and they were the unwilling, underaged actresses that have to be doped into line. Even the disgusting little miss in the grey hoodie and shorts (yeah, it makes all kinds of sense to wear a hooded sweatshirt and shorts!) that looks like she's ready to lick the camera lens, gives me the "captive whore" vibe.
Whee! No math this morning!
LOLOLOL! Here's the deal:
Where can I see more photos of your models?
Our models are beautiful people, just like you. They're regular people (we don't use professional models), many of whom work for American Apparel. Check out our Photo Collections - you can see some of the best and most evocative images captured by our staff.
Can I be a model for American Apparel?
American Apparel is always looking for new girls and guys to grace our ads, catalogues and web site. If you think that your look corresponds to our image, send your photos, tell us which city you live in, and provide a phone number so we can reach you. We do shoots in New York, Los Angeles, and sometimes in other cities. Please send your photos to: model@americanapparel.net.
The sad thing about this Find is that, due to the "delay" between Find submissions and Find of the Day postings, this could well have been found long before the horrible Virginia Tech incident last April.
Maybe I wasn't supposed to bring it up, but seeing this Find didn't make me think of sluts in loop terry teeny shorts today.
But you remembered the name! Woooo-hooooooo!

BUNNY RULES
Lamest find in quite some time, and the comments prove it. Including this one. Sorry.
love that interview, Midlife. I hadn't seen it before. Davy is hilarious. I can't wait to meet him and Petey someday. COME TO TORONTO, FOUND GUYS!!!
farmer, you can't rate finds like you rate movies. they is what they is.
Diso Fever!
Dudley, I think you scared Am. Ap. away. They're gone! Thank you!! And Orinoco, I'm embarrassed to know this, but that grey hoodie and shorts? Called "Salt and Pepper". Hahaha!
Crisis, you're not a scmuck. Don't call my friends names. xo
i wonder if i made a face like that, if i'd give off a 'captive whore' vibe.
I like this find. It's at a high school, right? So why the childish writing? And a 'dance club' - as in a club where one dances? Or a little elitist group of teeny boppers trying to emulate 'Hit Me Baby' Britney videos?
Which begs the question... what was the professor doing with those teeny boppers?
It looks like it was written by a kid- especially because of the backward y's. Maybe the child of another prof who was visiting their father/mother for the day objected to this prof's taste in music? You have to admit, if you don't like techno, it gets pretty repetative.
Peculiar.
I am assuming that this was written by a young child, perhaps the professor's kid? But how is it that the kid can correctly spell dance but not know how to form the letter "Y"?
Hey guys, my computer teacher just showed me the coolest thing! See that sliding bar over on the right side of this window? If you place the little arrow on that, then click it and drag it down, IT MAKES THE AMERICAN APPAREL GIRLS DISAPPEAR!!! Computers are like magic!
I kind of like this Find, but I think it would be better to come across it in its original context.
Needed my daily math question to stay sharp... What is the opposite of bad? Damn, Refresh... 28x15... Thats a little better. Is anyone not disturbed at how juvenile this note appears for being found on campus? It seems in all likelyhood that it was written by a college student for college students, and they write like an 9 year old. Or a deranged adult...
The Find itself isn't lame. I think it's rather interesting, but as to being found on a college campus? I'm with you, Kira -- it looks like it was written by a child. Perhaps the professor has a kid who likes to declare certain rooms of the house a DANCE CLUB ONLY??? Hmmm...
Also, most of the comments have been pretty weak today. Way to ADHD, kids =]
Lance Pants in a Trance
Are you going to the dance?
That's what popped in my head when I saw this.
And I know nobody cares, but on the college topic Duke got beat! ha!
This find is better than yesterday's leaf.
So, Dudley is apparently a shill for American Apparel (see first posting). That's so lame, using the posts as a ad. There was this documentary about Am. Ap. on 60 minutes or some show like that. It said that the owner was a real sleaze who actually encouraged that "slut" look. Except that it's not sexy, it just gives off that desperate underage prostitute with no where to go and people taking advantage of her in the gritty streets of Los Angeles look. Not so sexy.
@ Indy: so I was right! That's the look they were actually going for. How sad is the world we live in?
4 x 7---at least a sum I can do...
Given that today is a holiday & my brain is off visiting, I'm glad for a light, silly find. I actually lol when I read the description. And I figured it was written by the professor's kid, off from school for a day, but maybe some of the AA girls go to Virginia Tech? (That was mean, sorry. Just because you look like a BP does not mean you don't have a brain.)
DISCO INFERNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
@Indy in the gritty streets of Philly
Whoa, brother, I'm no shill, just an enthusiastic supporter of any company that sponsors this wonderful thing called FOUND. And American Apparel is, like, really really supportive.
I hope I haven't chased them away, Nightingale. They are beautiful people, just like you.
I keep waiting for someone to notice that Dudley usually appears when the find is perhaps just little less involving than it could be. It was either tout American Apparel or start swapping recipes and stories about our kids. You've been warned.
Well, I'm ready to embrace new sponsors!

Thanks for supporting my favorite website!
Nightingale - I SO DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY! I was quoting their text, "Our models are beautiful people, just like you." Oh dear.
@ Jason at FOUND: Permission granted to delete all my posts today! I've babbled on enough.
S&M club only. Must wear atleast 2 articles of leather. Ball gags and whips provided at sign-up. Must have health insurance.
The Y's are written backwards. That's the part that is unsettleing about the note, at least to me. That, and the capital L's in the middle of the words. Gotta be written by a kid.
Very cool, FOUND. Spam Question 28 times 15 is what? 420! I'm in!
You're sending mixed messages, Dud. You should do voice-overs for TV commercials.
weird. i liked to think i was the only one at tech who knew about FM.
i wish i knew which professor, so i can go groove to their music.
Sorry to get off topic and back to the find, but...
Maybe I am totally off base, but when I saw this with the description, I figured it was just some disgruntled fellow faculty member who hates this person's music, except for the DANCE CLUB music they play, so they were making a request?
Lol at Mona. That seems to be the million dollar question.
whenever i make a face like that, people ask me if i'm feeling ok.
um, dud(e),
you obviously work for American Apparel ("our models", girls and guys to grace our ads," "we do shoots", etc.). So you're not just "another enthusiastic supporter". And then you go and promote another website later on. More advertising? Sorry. Very lame. tch!
indy, i think dudley was cutting and pasting something from the AM AP website, that thing about 'our models'
Indy, get off the gritty street, it's ruined your sense of humor. Dudley's posts were obviously tongue-in-cheek, because today's Find is kind of lame, and because most of us are pretty appalled by the American Apparel ads. How many times do you need that explained to you?
The sponsers (American Apparel, etc.) help keep this website free for us, and you don't even have to go to their website. Get over it already.
Well whether it was intentional or not "dudley's" comments seemed pretty pandery to me too. Sponsor or not the clothes and models look ailing.
O jeez. Out of some kind of weird curiosity, I clicked on the American Apparel dresses ad. My God! They are all hoe dresses, and a great majority are made of Spandex. *shudder* what a world we live in.
Stop with the shameless promotion of American Apparel!
Back OT:
I don't think this was written by a child, rather a left handed individual in a hurry. Perhaps the only marker pen (s)he had was a blue highlighter, and I know of several lefties tht write their "Y"s like that.
Probably taped to a rehearsal/meeting room.
I'm a little late in getting to question of ads versus no ads (and of particular companies and such) but it's something we here at FOUND have contemplated and considered for years, and about which have fairly informed opinions.
I, myself, am REALLY appreciative of the financial support from our sponsors-- it helps to offset some of the costs of hosting and developing this site, as well as helping to keep the FOUND books, magazines, and events cheap. There's a ton of costs that go into this project-- far more than I ever would have imagined seven years ago-- and the money brought in by these ads helps to share these great finds as cheaply to YOU, the reader, as possible.
We've tried a number of different ad systems over the years, and we're happy with our current ad partner, Indieclick. They sell and serve the ads and we get a check. Their ads tend to be (yes) American Apparel and great movies and bands that I actually like-- rather than for Florida real estate companies or printer cartridges, etc.
I totally understand wanting an ad-free space for FOUND, but that would mean we'd be losing a lot of money to bring you the project, which ultimately could bring this house-of-found-cards tumbling. Given the alternative, I'm VERY happy to have generous and cool sponsors, and hope you can tolerate/enjoy some of their offerings.
And if you'd rather have American Apparel disappear, please, by all means, buy some ads for your project or crafty endeavor or band or what-not. Check the "advertising" link at the bottom of the page and be in touch!
Dear Jason,
Please don't ever discontinue the American Apparel ads because some of the posters here just won't have anything to talk about if you do.
Thank you.
Love,
Kat
I freakin' LOVE Flargy's comment at 8:20 AM on the 18th.
You don't like what you see? Scroll, baby! If that doesn't do it for you, salvation's only a click away.
Jason, keep the American Apparel ads, and whatever else you need to, to keep this site alive and well. We'll keep buying Found books and Mags when we can, and bringin' Coronas to the Events whenever possible. (and offering our thought provoking commentary on a nearly daily basis.)
Sword swallower? What about the fire blower? What about me?
