So I got picked as a DJ for Youmacon this past weekend in Detroit. Last week I took Lava in to get new brakes and they mentioned there was a rubbing sound from one of the wheels and that I might need a new wheel bearing soon. I got her back from the brake job and thought I heard something of what they mentioned. A week goes by, and I am set to ( Read more... )

After a really fun Elliott's Fall Festival the first weekend in October, a friend of mine informed me he had an extra ticket to Playa Del Fuego. I missed the chance to buy tickets earlier in the year, had the extra time due to Monday being a holiday and my work schedule being a bit insane this month, and took him up on the offer.

Moontown (3M5) had their annual EAA fly-in this past weekend. I rented a plane from HUA and flew over there, with a really nice short-field landing that didn't embarrass myself in front of all the old-timers. Walked around for a bit and look in the sights. There was a gorgeous silver and blue C195 there and the usual assortment of Yaks doing ( Read more... )

So if you didn't catch me spamming my twitter and other social network feeds last night, I DJed at Crossroads Music Hall. I also provided my own turntables and mixer to the show (not to mention renting them lights and controllers as well). The lineup was myself and three other Nashville DJs, who I'm informed were clearly told, "all DJs bring ( Read more... )

I'll try to keep this short. Went to Dragon*Con this past weekend as part of Technical Operations. Was put in charge of a new larger ballroom at the Westin (new hotel). Filled it with zombies and steampunks and a couple zombie steampunks, plus Stargate Universe guests that had never been to a convention before. At nights I helped run sound and ( Read more... )

Last weekend I drove down to Florida and joined a number of good friends to watch Atlantis launch. It was somewhat bittersweet, and feels like the future of manned space exploration has been cancelled. Afterwards, we ate lunch at a local hotdog stand and just hung out until a number of us had a large supper at Emeril's. It was amazing as always ( Read more... )

My AC2011 set is now up on SoundCloud. Let me know what you think.

After the unfortunate news Tuesday, I got a bit upset and went driving for a while, then came home and downed a bottle of (very very good) wine. After a couple hours I was sleepy and went to bed, had some crazy dreams, and woke up eight hours later still feeling inebriated. The whole morning at work Wednesday was still slightly surreal.

Well, thanks to work and schedule conflicts and miscommunication it looks like I'm not gonna be DJing at Anthrocon. Is it even worth the time and money for me to go now?

I am headed up to DJ at Anthrocon this weekend. I have a new phone and none of my contact information transferred over from the old one. I'm screening comments so please reply with any contact information you wish me to have. Hope to see some of you there!
