In the rain: Renegade Craft Fair DJ setlist

So I DJed for an hour and a half at the Renegade Craft Fair this past Sunday, and it was fun, in spite of the constant rain. When I got there and started my set, I realized I should be playing the sort of music that would make people forget about the rain -- not a nonstop dance party, but not melancholy, either. Optimistic, perhaps... or "sunny". Well, I did play a beautiful melancholy Nina Simone song, but other than that, I tried to keep the sun shining (while still keeping the set eclectic). And the folks at the beer tent next door thanked me afterwards, saying I'd helped their day not suck. So that was nice.
