I have never seen a room full of people who make a living off of concrete, sawing and drilling have so much fun! Saturday, March 6th was the CSDA’s annual gala held at Loews Coronado in Coronado. The ballroom was set up very nicely by the staff at Loews and they were very accommodating with having a stage and table already set up for me when I got there. Here’s the short video of my set up that I took before the doors opened:

Once dinner was served and awards were given out, it was time to party. The guests flocked to the dance floor and even broke into a conga line during “Kiss” by Prince:

Since there were so many couples in attendance, I made sure to play a few slow songs for them to dance to:

As the night went on and the energy level began to grow, I hit them with the classic “Shout” by the Isley Brothers:

Toward the end of the night, I stepped out on the floor and taught the guests how to do the “Cupid Shuffle” and they picked it up almost instantly. All in all it was an amazing night and I hope to once again get the chance to work with this group in the future.

I had the honor of being the DJ at an event for the Meeting Architects held at BELO Night Club in Downtown San Diego. The theme of the party was “Alice In Wonderland” and many of the guests were dressed up as characters from the book and movie. It was a networking event to begin and gradually turned into a dance party. I took a video of the decor, dance floor lighting and ambient lighting as well as a video at the very beginning of the dance set. The music requests ranged from current Top 40 to Disco and Oldies to Alternative 80’s Rock like the Violent Femmes. I had a great time and I look forward to working with the Meeting Architects again in the future.
