Again, thanks to the wonders of wireless internet, I am writing this live from a wedding reception in Sioux City Iowa.  The reception is at the Marina Inn on the banks of the Missouri River.  The groom is Mexican and the bride is American, so there is a wonderfully diverse crowd here tonight!  Right now, a Mariachi band is playing some dinner music and later a band will be taking the stage.  Then, on top of that, I will be DJ’ing as well!  Talk about a full night!  It should be a lot of fun.  I did not have much room to setup, but I used my imagination and came up with a spacesaving solution.  I might have to use this setup again in the future when space is limited.

I will be in Sioux Falls next weekend for another reception, and traveling to Yankton the next weekend for another one.  Then, I have a little break as the wedding season starts to come to an end.  I did recently make a nightclub contact in Luverne, MN at Hardtailz Rock Cafe.  I will be DJ’ing there on October 20th, and I’m excited to display my skills in front of a new audience.

That’s the future, but now is now.  I’m excited to show this diverse crowd a fantastic time tonight!

Thanks to the wonders of wireless internet, I am writing this live at the Starlight Room in Sioux Falls, SD.  I’m all set up and ready to go for a wedding reception that kicks off at 7:30PM.  So far, the crowd is pretty lively (some lady just took my picture - maybe it’s for the newspaper, but most likely it will end up in a wedding album) and I was just told that the crowd really likes Guns and Roses. 

This will also be my first gig since my nose surgery last Friday and besides a slightly black eye, I’m in pretty good shape.  This, like all my other gigs will be a 100% Serato affair.  I’ve already got the playlists generated and have the turntables calibrated.  Perhaps I’ll even record some of the night’s audio on my laptop with Audacity.  It would be nice to have a wedding mix mp3 on this blog or my website so that clients and visitors could download, listen, and enjoy.  Well, I hear the clinking of glasses, so I think the speeches are coming up soon.  I better stop blogging and start monitoring the sound!

Sadly, Summer is almost over, and up here in South Dakota, that means a very short Fall is next.  Followed by an extremely long Winter.  The end of Summer also represents the end of the Wedding season.  It’s been a very busy and rewarding summer for me.  I’ve had the opportunity to travel throughout SD, Iowa, and Minnesota.  I still have a couple of weddings in September and a couple more in October, and then will be approaching the school dance season.  I don’t know, but it seems like schools do not have dances as often as they used to.  With all the talk about budget cuts, it comes as no surprise.

Anyway, I just wanted to share some photos from one of my last gigs in Tea, SD.  The reception was on Aug 26th, the same night that Tone Loc was in Tea for a concert!  So naturally I had to play Funky Cold Medina in honor of his presence!
