[Dynagroove] Sneak Beats!!!!!!!!!

Tue Nov 11 15:06:00 PST 2008

I agree that Sneak played a really fun set.  And DC freakin rocked--Amazing
how he can play on 3 turntables.  I danced my ass off!

But just curious, who was the special guest???  I got there at 12:00 and saw
just Sneak and DC.  The security was intense--although one guy was kinda cute,
with the weird hair.  I thought he looked like a "My Little Pony". ehehe
