Check out the awesome cake topper from Kathleen and Charles's wedding:


Until tonight, I forgot how much I dig 70's funk. Kathleen & Charles had a quality soul train line going to some Parliment, George Clinton, Earth, Wind & Fire...all that good stuff. The bass guitar lines are just so amazing, they stick in my head forever. All that stuff blends really nicely with some of today's top 40 (which makes sense since most of today's music is taken from it). I had a blast mixin' it up tonight!!

Tammy and Ray

Tammy & Ray’s wedding last night at Barrister Gardens was so fun! Tammy was such a fun party host and a perfect bride to work for! Despite the snow, Tammy and Ray's friends and family kept that party going strong until the last song of the night.

Here are a few pictures (many more can be found here)::

They got our package #3, which includes a video screen which we play music videos, background ambient videos + a “growing up” slide-show. The photographer last night, John Richmond, was cool enough to copy over a few of the wedding pictures that he took at the ceremony so we were able to play those back too. He took some beautiful pictures!

Evis came with me to help set-up everything. He gets photo credit for all the pictures he took for Tammy and Ray's Hot Shots photo galleries (haha, he ended up taking like 200 pictures!). The man was a maniac – jumping on tables and everything to get a good shot of Tammy and Ray’s out-of-control dance floor. Thanks Evis! You’re the best!

Congratulations Ray & Tammy!

I’m trying so hard to stay awake right now... I just finished working for Lindsey at Stephen at their wedding at Arnaldo’s in Riverview, packed up my equipment, drove home and now I have to go and DJ a fundraiser at a high school in Walled Lake. It’s one of those 24 hour lock-in things. The American Disc Jockey Association is providing 4 or 5 DJs who are each working a 2-4 hour shift of it. I somehow got volunteered for the 4:00 am – 8:00 am slot. I’m trying to figure out my strategy….. if I approach it like a typical high school job, then I would go in and play the current Top 40. But I’m going to guess that the other DJs who have been there before me today, have all played the Top 40, meaning the locked-in students will have heard the same Top 40 playlist, 5 times over in a 24 hour period. That would drive me insane…but who knows, maybe that’s what the students want?? Another idea is to go in the there and be the crazy 4am DJ and start playing random stuff they’ve never heard of. That kind of sounds fun to me, but risky (not playing the top 40 could make me the very “un-cool” dj who didn’t play T-Pain for the 40^th time tonight). Hmmm….....

Steve’s grandma caught the bouquet at the wedding tonight! So that would be fine, except that Lindsey and Steve wanted to do the “complete” bouquet and garter routine. That means I’m supposed to have the guy who catches the garter put the garter on the girl who catches the bouquet. Lots of people have mixed feelings about the whole garter/bouquet thing, so I always like to ask before making strangers feel each other up. Both the Bride and Groom approved it, so tonight officially became the first wedding I’ve ever worked where I had to tell a groomsman to do the sexy garter dance for the groom’s grandma.

This job never stops being interesting!!
