Had a wedding to dj on Saturday last weekend, Opi's sister's to be exact. It was at the Italian hall and I thought it went over fantastically great. They danced, and had a lot of fun. I even knew some people there. :)

Rest of the week went by pretty decently. Had lunch with my cousin Kevin on Tuesday. I haven't seen him in about 7 years or so. He lives out in Burnaby, BC as a graphic designer doing government and union contracts. Nicely done mate. Met with him and his girlfriend/common law wife, as they have been together for so long. Very friendly, down to earth girl.

Blarney Stone on Wednesday was great. Slow start but got stupidly busy. Met the alternate dj for Sundays, Paul Wittle from B93. Strong British accented fellow, he asked a lot of questions and we connected well about 'dj' related things. Studio 54 was about the same, with a slow start but Josh had the dance floor smokin' .

And now for some sad news. First off I guess Ed McMahon of the Tonight Show fame, passed away on Tuesday or so. But I got the news from Brad my roommate that on Thursday, Michael Jackson AND Farrah Fawcett both passed away. Michael Jackson died from cardiac failure and Farrah Fawcett died from cancer. What a horrible week for the entertainment industry.

Observation: A lot of people criticized Michael Jackson for being this and that, but from a musician and entertainer point, he was simply and truly an amazing phenomenon. From his private point of view, he was messed up. He will be missed and his music will endure the test of time.
