Things you should never say to a DJ

So my friend and former DJ partner Jak got this from Rusty (aka Mudkids aka Bird Men of Alcatraz) and sent it to me. Are you following me so far? good.
I haven’t DJ’d in a club for a long time, but I can see where this is coming from. Nowadays, when I sit [...]

Even a trained monkey can be a DJ!

I have seen everything now.
It’s actually pretty cool. Capuchin monkeys have been trained to put a CD in a CD player and hit play. They are actually trained to assist people with paraplegia, so they can do a lot of simple things.
So the question in my mind is simple.
What is your DJ going to do [...]

The Mystery is Solved

The bride and groom from the Best First Dance Ever have been found!
They were on Ellen today. http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2007/12/newlyweds_got_back.php
There names? Michelle and John Brubaker!
How much easier would this have been if the MC had said. “John and Michelle’s first Dance” or “Mr. and Mrs. Brubaker’s first dance”?
Not that hard… Much easier to remember in a once [...]

The first dance mis-direction magic.
With the right tools, putting together the music is pretty simple, but doing it poorly will ruin it for everyone who comes after you. Get a good [...]

Oh Snap!!!

I’ve been Bamboozled! I was doing a Copyscape search on my web page. Two companies, one in Pennsylvania and another in Australia thought the stuff I wrote was good enough to just steal it without asking permission.
I have spent a considerable amount of time and effort trying to improve professionalism in this business. Sadly, it’s [...]

The Best Wedding Reception Ever!

A friend of mine, Peter Merry, wrote a great new book on creating amazing wedding receptions. The book is called The Best Wedding Reception Ever!
It’s a great book. The first half is all about why you should pick a great entertainer. The second is chocked full of killer ideas that you might include in your [...]

Tim & Jennifer

When I initially met with Tim and Jennifer they gave me a heads up that Tim’s sister was helping out with the planning.
Fast forward to a month before the wedding…. It turns out that Tim’s sister is actually a movie producer and director. Most recently a documentary called “By the People” which got picked [...]

Respond to this ad and you might be DJ’ing your own wedding.

It’s May 3rd. A busy wedding season is just getting started. Guess what? DJ companies are looking for DJs. Check out this ad on Craig’s list. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/csr/300844946.html
Maybe they aren’t trying to fill dates they over booked. Maybe they won’t be sending out untrained DJs to a wedding.
Is the company you hired scrambling to find a [...]

The picture on the mainpage.

That is me on the right. The bride and groom are Brian and Rebecca.
I am way too close to the camera, by comparison (and in reality) Brian and Rebecca look GREAT!
That is what I do… Make my clients look great.
