A Little DJ Fun



I don't ever post videos on my blog, but this will be a first. This video just shows a little fun I'm having with my new Behringer BCD3000.

I'm hoping to at least have some mixes up soon! Stay tuned.

4th of July at Park Ridge



The 3rd of July has always been the date for fireworks in Park Ridge. Thousands of people flock to this every year, but I hadn't gone in probably 4 years. It was exciting, to say the least, to come back to a place where I used to go every year. It's usually spent with family, but this time it was spent with friends and alcohol. Lots of fun either way.

But I still do miss the Brown's Chicken and 4th of July fireworks combination. Brown's Chicken is no more and where it used to stand is the new train station in Park Ridge. Oh well, it is still the anniversary of the US either way!

The Start of My DJ Career


I'm officially a bedroom DJ. One of those guys who thinks it's cool to put two songs written by somebody else together in the comfort of their bedroom. Well, its actually lots of fun blasting your favorite songs and making them flow!

My weapons of choice:
Behringer BCD3000 MIDI Controller-connected to my Asus 12.1" laptop
Sennheiser HD205 Headphones
Old Pioneer Receiver
Old Aiwa Speakers

My first goal as a DJ: to get good enough to 'spin' at my friend's apartment by the end of the summer. Stay tuned.
