Go Cougars!!!

Like I said before, it was a busy weekend! While Kelly did a wedding dance, Kristen played for the Homecoming Dance at USF. Even though it was raining quite a bit, there was a great turnout and the kids had a lot of fun. There was a theme, but we couldn't quite figure out what it was. Something about Mardi Gras and 80's prom dresses. The only glitch came when the microphone decided not to work, luckily I didn't have anything worth saying anyways! It was the debut of our second system and the end of a lot of work to get it all together and running. Hopefully they were happy and will have us back again, we had a lot of fun ourselves (all except for schlepping all the equipment out to our cars in the rain!).

Now that we have a second system, its time to start looking for another DJ who is just as talented and professinal as Kelly. We have heard some horror stories and I am afriad it might not be easy to find the kind of person we are looking for. We know that no one will care as much as we do, but hopefully we can find someone who cares almost as much. The extra money we could make is not as important as making sure every show we put our name on is fun, professional, and completely exceptional, and that every couple is happy.

Our first college party!

The Universty of Sioux Falls called us this week needing a DJ for their Freshman Mixer. We have never done anything like that and it fit into our schedule perfectly, so we accepted the gig. We are getting pretty good at narrowly avoiding disaster, however! Kelly borrowed a van from a friend so we could haul our new subs their a little easier. However, when he was loading it up, it locked him out somehow! He had to drive to Crooks to get a spare key, but Kristen managed to get it open and finish getting it loaded while he was gone (if this DJ thing doens't work out, we can apparantly steal cars!). Crisis averted and we got to the Student Union and set up in record time! The Student Body VP approached us and was very concerned about the dance. Apparantly in the past DJs have not performed the way they had hoped and students have not traditionally stuck around very long for this event. She was very concerned that we play lots of fun music that would keep people dancing all night long. Well, we accepted the challenge and mahanged to keep the dance floor crowded for almost the entire night! (we forgot out camera in the midst of the GTA, or else there would be photographic evidence!). They seemed happy with the way the dance went and indicated that they would like us to DJ their Homecoming Dance this year! This is very exciting and hopefully we will be available!
