[Dynagroove] How Bout a weekend review

[Cade]

Warning I am extreemly biased on my own events... So things may seem 
greater then they really were. ahaha

Friday was free thinkn with the gravy boys and jungle on the patio.  What 
was going on that night because I was pretty happy with the ladies in the 
house.  ahahah...  The boys played very well I was a bit out of it because 
I had just gotten of the plane and rushed over to free thinkin.  But what 
I heard and comprehended was good.  I like Joe rod set the most.  But they 
other guys were just OK I guess.  ahah just kinnding guys.  everyone 
played well.  I liked the Safty dance remix..  woo hoo.  A good night with 
a good crowd..

Saturday was ultragroove and hands down p[robably the hardest party I have 
ever done setup wise.  When I arrived at the location the elevator was 
unavailble and we had a lot to load up.  that is three flights of stairs 
folks!!!!  We must have done about 10 - 15 runs each.  By the end of it my 
legs were killing me.  The good news is I have a firmer butt!  want to fel 
it?  *wink* anyway SO the elevatr eventually got crackin and we were able 
to load the rest of the stuff in.  We knew the venue was going to be kind 
of big for the event so we did our best to shrink it up and create a nice 
warm area for the dance floor.   They toys for tot marines showed up and 
set up shop and we were ready to go.  The night started off with about 40 
ravers showing up early with toys in hand.  Ravers yes I said it. 
Pacifiers and Glowsticks in all.  A lot of people frown on this but most 
of those same people used to be ravers themselves.  Stumbling into house 
eventually.  SO Violet and I were very happy to hopefullmake some 
converts..   Joeshua was our special opening guest DJ and I must say that 
he did an excelent job warming the ravers up.  ahah and some of the house 
head.  I actually think he played superb and I was into his records.  I 
have sen Joeshua grow as a DJ over the years and I definately see him 
gaining a lot more attention in the near future especially with his 
formation of the MAUF parties.  Keep your eye out for that

Next up was bodyrockindjs (AKA bodyrockdjs) the started brilliantly with 
some good house music and slowly progressed into there patented 
breakie-housie-tech vibe.  The dancefloor really started to fill up for 
them.  The highlight of their set is when they broughtit up the ravers 
staretd getting realy excited and I saw one dance so hard that he slipped 
and fell.  I hope U don't get sued.  ahaha.  They boys then brought it 
down to house again to set up for James Curd (set #1).

James came on and that BPM went right up but he was playing that bangin 
chicago sound I like so much.  Probably one of the best sets I heard from 
james.  He was playing a lot of stuff I had not ever heard and thats what 
I like most in a DJ.  The great think about james is he gets trashed and 
also works up a sweat.  He bops all over the place and just looks like he 
is having a blast...  We let him play and extra 30 minutes because the 
crowd was so into it.

I came on next and ended up going on a disco house tangent.  I don't know 
how it happened it was unplanned but I got a lot of smiles while I was 
playing so that was a lot of fun.   However I found that Blue Monday by 
New Order can kind of kill a vibe. ahaha I thought I was being somewhat 
creative and I would blindside the crowd and they would get excited.  Umnn 
well they just kind of looked at me like I was crazy.. ahahah sorry folks. 
SO then I shot back into some house for a few tracks and then up comes 
James Curd.  He was not how we say too sober...  "You man let me drop this 
track!?!?!"  I had already played for an hour and something so I was like 
"sure"

James Curd set number 2...   At around 4:45 james hops back on the deck 
and drops hip-hop, Disco, R&B, and house.  It was an eclectic mix that I 
thought was dope as hell.. See he can change it up and the crowd gets into 
it. and then i get a lil off track and people look at me like I am Loco... 
So james closes the night out with an eclectic set.

Over all a great party though.  We had a big space and it was hard to fill 
but it was great to raise over 200 toys for the the toys 4 tots.  the 
marines were very impressed with the quality of gofts that were brought. 
they were also enjoying themselves.

Thanks to all who helped out..  Thanks to vanyo for the sound..  thanks 
fro carlitos for working with us.  Thanks to the bodyrockdjs, james curd, 
and joeshua...  for mixin it up...   Another successfull party under 
ourbelt!!
