What Time Is It?

Boy, I haven't posted in four months. That's a long time here in Blogville. Since we last met, I've played some weddings, most notably one for an esteemed roller derby alum from the team my lovely wife skated for; the Seattle Seahawkers booster club Halloween party; an 80s theme party fundraiser for the Leukemia Foundation. Some song highlights from memory:

Sockit Wench Alum Wedding:
"Admiral and Commander" from Battlestar Galactica - first dance
"Untouched" by the Veronicas - garter toss
"Let's Do It" by Joan Jett & Paul Westerberg - recessional

Seahawkers Halloween Party:

"Bo Meets the Monster" by Bo Diddley
"Trick Or Treat" by Otis Redding
"Transylvania Terror Train" by Captain Clegg And The Night Creatures

My Own Wedding DJs
Is there no better testimonial for a DJ than from another DJ? My lovely wife and I eloped Memorial Day in Vegas. Then we threw a circus-themed party for family and friends, complete with lollipops, Cracker Jacks, a popcorn machine, Dante's Inferno Dogs, live entertainment by The Aerialistas, The Shanghai Pearl and others. Our DJs were awesome. DJ Chairman Moe played circus-themed music early and set the tone. Maude Elletee played the ensuing dance party and brilliantly wove in our requests for such things as the J. Geils Band, Elvis, and Sam & Dave.

Rat City at KeyArena 2011
Yes, we've banged the gavel, the brutal contract negotiations have concluded in a happy manner which resembles something more pleasant than a piranha attack (very brutal: "so, you wanna be our DJ again next season?" - "uh, long as you guys are still separatin' the red M&Ms from the snack bowl per my hospitality rider, uh, YEAH!"
