Marina Village Baja Room Wedding 6/29/08

The Baja Room at Marina Village is one of the more difficult locations for sound since it is a very long and narrow room. Wireless speakers always work well in this situation and help guests down at the other end of the room hear toasts, events, and announcements. I also provided some uplights which matched their colors exactly and helped "dress up" the room. Lots of dancing and drinking. One of the craziest group of groomsmen.

Cypress Room Wedding 6/28/08

This was a crazy one. Tons of equipment and two seperate locations. After providing the ceremony music and microphones in Balboa Park we then moved over to the Cypress Room for the reception. I projected their video during the cocktail hour. Excellent food and a pretty good dancing group.

Extras Provided: Uplights, Video Projection, White "Starry" Lights

Thievery Corporation

Tonight was a chance to catch Thievery Corporation (one of my favorites) live at the Hollywood Bowl. Great concert!

USS Midway Docents Party 6/19/08

I have DJ'd this party to honor the docents of the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum for the past four years. It is always a refreshing event for me because it is a complete change of pace from the normal weddings and music. The average age at this party is about 75 years old. Most of the music is from the 1940's and I really don't play much music beyond the 1950's. It really gets me thinking and expanding my knowledge of the music from that era. It is hilarious... every single year they walk in looking at me like I am "the DJ" that is going to play LOUD HIP-HOP ALL NIGHT and they leave surprised that I am so familiar with "their style of music" thanking me over and over again. It is a great feeling. They always have a fun creative cake each year.

Abalone Diving and Scuba at Caspar Beach Trip 6/4/08

Took another week off for our yearly Abalone Diving and Scuba Diving Camping Trip at Caspar Beach in Northern CA. The abalone were difficult to catch this year due to tons of vegitation and kelp on the rocks. The scuba dives were great with decent visibility. The water is around 40 degrees so always a little chilly.
