DJ SUPERUNKNOWN'S BLOG: November 2008

To All-

Welcome to the wonderful world of providing DJ entertainment for your event! By now you’ve probably figured out that “finding” a DJ isn’t too difficult; it’s the “selection” process that you may find a bit challenging. I hope that the time you invest here will assist you in making an informed decision on a crucial element in every successful event… music, or in my biased opinion… a great DJ! Throughout history, music has entertained royalty, moved Fred and Ginger, and perhaps invoked a first kiss. Your event will be a part of history, and I would like to be a part of it. Whether it’s a corporate gathering, a prom, or my personal favorite wedding receptions, retaining my services as your DJ will be a sound investment. I have the proven ability to infuse your personal style, meld it together with a harmonious balance of professionalism and personality, and create an event like no other. It can’t be said enough, but there are absolutely no “do-overs” in this industry. DJing an event that has your heart, soul, time, and money on the line would be an honor and a privilege. Thank you to my family, friends, and clients, for giving me the opportunity to do what I love!

Best Regards,

DJ Superunknown

DJ SUPERUNKNOWN @ BLAISDELL MANOR 2008 USMC BALL

So Friday, Nov. 7th I was selected again to DJ the Marine Corps Ball for Marine Corps Recruiting Station Twin Cities.

It was held this year at The Blaisdell Manor in Minneapolis. For those not in the know, the Blaisdell Manor is owned, operated, and catered by Three Son's Signature Cuisine/Three Son's Kitchen. Three Son's also runs the St. Anthony Main Event Center as well. So it's the Marine Corps Ball and I meet the Director for Three Son's Aaron McCallum (one of the three son's by the way) and it turns out Aaron was in the Marine Corps during the same time that I was. Better yet he was in 2nd Batt. Fifth Marines while I was in 1st Batt. Fifth Marines, and we were pounding the same ground in Okinawa, Japan and South Korea at the same time and we never met until now! What a small world. Anyway Aaron and I hit it off and I can't thank him enough for his hospitality and professionalism displayed not only to me but his guests.

Aaron's brother Ben is Three Son's Executive Chef and his creations are the bomb! Check out his latest article in Today's Groom, a magazine dedicated to being the groom's guide to getting hitched. In this most recent "Eat This" column, Chef Ben shares his tips for game time entertaining and a wonderful recipe for Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket - the perfect centerpiece for a big game day party.

Anyway, the Ball rocked AGAIN and a great time was had by all. I did incorporate one unique touch this year, A Marine got married earlier that day and they didn't have a reception planned other than the Ball, so before the dancing officially started I played a song just for them for a "spotlight" dance and I followed it up with an impromptu dollar dance. Everyone stepped up and gave a lil' somethin for the newlyweds and it was appreciated by the Bride & Groom.

I'm getting carpal tunnel so check out these clips yo!
