McDonald’s Gospelfest?!? Right Here in Seattle? OMG!

Posted by on January 10 at 16:27 PM

Bust out those choir robes, kids, McDonald’s Gospelfest is coming to town!

Hi Dan,

For the first time ever, McDonald’s Gospelfest is coming to the Pacific Northwest! Did you know that there are over 4000 churches in Western Washington alone?  But Gospelfest participants don’t come from just churches; the competition this year includes adult and youth choirs, soloists, groups (2-8 people) and praise dancers. McDonald’s Gospelfest Seattle supports the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western Washington Scholarship program, which last year donated over $75,000 to graduating high school seniors.

Auditions are being held the first week of February throughout the region. If you are interested in this new, exciting event, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Best Regards,

Praise dancers? I’m not into gospel music, but I would pay cash money to watch some praise dancers dance all, you know, praisefully and shit. Perhaps the lap dancers the city is trying to put out of work should open a church where men can go and get the laps praised on.

Be afraid, Cienna--I think I see your next assignment on the horizon. That's what you get for posting pictures of one-eyed kittens.

at a certain catholic church in capitol hill, they call 'em "liturgical dancers." and i guarantee you that would be more disturbing to a neophyte than praise dancers shakin' their booties for the lord.

I'm all for attending, but there is No Fucking Way you will get me to sing in public Again. No Auditions.

You Bastards.

"Praise dancing" brings to my mind a disturbing image of squeeky-clean youths in matching sweater combos performing some weird combination of Eurythmics, Morris dancing, and Dervishism.
