The Varsity Theater in Dinkytown

I just wanted to comment on the best venue for a wedding reception in my personal opinion. So here it is in a nutshell...

The Varsity Theater has the best venue in the state, not only can they accommodate your wedding reception, they also have an eclectic mix of killer touring acts playing there on a weekly basis, so sound and lights are top notch. Food, is catered by The Loring Pasta Bar next door, enough said! The Staff I liken to event/catering Ninjas… seriously! You get the rock star treatment and you can even get your name on the marquee!

So if you wanna make your friends jealous book The Varsity!!!! Check out some pics from a recent gig…

So needless to say I’ve been busy, which has been a blessing, in that I was given the opportunity to do what I love, make some cash, and maintain my skills to pay da bills.

So now we’re into July and luckily I had the weekend of the fourth off to spend some time with the Wifey and my kids. My case load at my day gig causes me much stress so it was really nice to be home. I’m back at it again tomorrow down in Iowa… I mean Albert Lea, I’ll try to keep you all up to date as my time allows. Shouts out to my peeps Kyle & Marissa who’s wedding gig is coming up next weekend!

As always… Peace Out Girl Scouts….

June will be just as crazy for me, I have to give much love to my wife and kids for letting me do what I love… I also need to give thanks to all the mad decent newlyweds out there for letting me be a part of their special days. Same goes for all the patrons at The Chatterbox for letting me sprinkle some flavor in their ears.

Peace out girl scouts…

DJ Superunknown @ Kilkarney Hills Golf Club May 2, 2009

This is a late blog post from last Saturday’s (1099 MWS gig) wedding reception I did for Afton & Randy @ Kilkarney Hills GC in River Falls, WI. It’s late because I’ve found myself burning the proverbial candle at both ends, and I haven’t even stepped foot into a nightclub or had a drink. I don’t have a gig tonight, I would’ve liked to but my day job, being married w/ kids, DJing Wednesday and Thursday nights, plus weddings on the weekend is kicking my ass.

Anyway, my gig on Saturday for Afton and Randy was great, I think what made it cool was that the whole bridal party was a really fun bunch of people and I met a really great photographer, Beau Peterson . I get along great with all vendors I work with, but this was the first time I really got to check out the photogs shots that he had taken throughout the day and into the night. He had his laptop set up next to me and he was actively downloading his shots onto to it and I have to say the dude knows his craft. I really liked the way he captured the bridal party group photos throughout the day especially the bar photos. Anyway, I suggest checking him out if you’re in the market.

Regarding the reception, it was my usual upbeat great time, and Midwest Sound, the company I 1099 sub-contract for, received a really nice letter from the bride and groom thanking me for sending me out. It’s really cool getting feedback from clients of another company, it just shows that when I’m doing a gig for them I give it my all even though I make a lot less had it been my own gig. Anyway, it’s pretty cool to get paid to have fun every weekend.

Oh shit... I forgot to mention I turned 35 on May 5th.
