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!

When you're a DJ, you have to be part MacGyver and part car thief! I enjoy reading your blog, DJ'ing is always an adverture - that's one of the reasons I like it so much. Some of my fondest memories are of college dances that I DJ'ed. They're fuzzy memories, but fond nevertheless!
