Well, it's the middle of February and I'm thankful that my calendar is filling up with weddings! I love doing them and take great pride in the way they're handled. I'll be working with ACA this Sunday at The Pfister for a Bridal Show. They have a booth and we talk to prospective wedding couples about music for their big day.
I bought a new light over the weekend and put it to the test Saturday night. It's an American DJ MegaBar 50. The plan is to have multiple units chained together. The new version coming out in March will have a remote control allowing me to change the color scheme at will.... plus the main unit will also control the slaves hooked up to it!
I have a friend who has 12 of these and uses them for uplighting in rooms. Ideally, that's what I want to do as well. It's a great add-on service for weddings and adds a touch of class to any room.
Still have some Saturdays available for 2011.... but I'd say that between April 1 and October 31, there are only 7 - 8 open!

Recap of this weekend's gigs
I played LIVE at The Branded Steer Friday and Saturday nights. Friday was the busier of the two nights and I was was happy to see many of my friends show up to the gigs!
The Branded Steer is getting their live music nights going and needs everyone's help! It's a great venue with a tremendous menu and the bar area where I play is roomy with booths, tables and plenty of bar stools.
Their staff is friendly and from what I hear, the food is delicious! (I've only had the soup.... yummy!)
Check them out!

Saturday September 25, 2010 Wedding
This was a fun wedding! It was held at Klemmer's on Oklahoma, in the main ballroom for about 200 people. I had to set-up in a smaller footprint so I didn't use the lighting truss system. I had the single pole with T-Bars which covered the floor nicely. I really like the new LED par cans! They "wash" the dance floor well and really add to the excitement.
On the way to the gig, I stopped at Guitar Center and bought a new laser/LED light effect. It's by Chauvet and is designed to be used primarily as a ceiling effect. There are 2 lights in one.... a blue LED spread that looks like a misty sky and two lazers (red and green) that have thousands of dots that can be modified by speed and intensity.
EVERYONE who walked in the room was dazzled by this unique effect!
I must say that the bride's mother really took control of the room when it came time for her toast. She was a very eloquent speaker and had the floor for about 15 minutes.
The staff at Klemmer's was awesome as usual and the of the evening went well.
It's sad to think that the wedding season is winding down. I have a few more this month and just booked a public Halloween DJ gig at the Sand Bar in Pewaukee on Oct. 30. Hope to see you there!
