Haven't logged in for quite some time. Last Sunday was ok, I didn't work but until the last hour, Paul Wittle from B93 had the inaugural debut of the live to air. He played a ton of remixed songs of pop and Hip-hop songs. A lot of people were none too impressed by it.

Help out Shad a bit on Tuesday install some stuff at Blarney but I mainly finished off the rest of the install at Scores North. Drilled a hole in the back, so the cables to the subs and to the mix board could be run from behind, and it looks a lot neater. Also trimmed the zip cables to make them look a lot cleaner. Wednesday, worked with some of the new lights that Shad installed. Looked great and a fantastic job putting them up. Thursday, was a very slow start but got busy around the midnight hour. Same thing with Blarney on Wednesday. Friday, Scores was decent, but with it being a long weekend and all, I thought it'd be a lot slower than it was. Sahd gave me a wedding contract to do in Waterton for Saturday so that was ok.

Grabbed the stuff at around 2 PM or so. Shad also had one to do in Waterton, only 2 buildings over from where mine was. Headed out in my van, with everything. At least I thought I had everything. About 30 clicks out of Waterton, I realized I forgot the mix board and computer system. WTF!? You kidding me?? I hit the panic button. Shad said he had a laptop I could use in the meantime. So I got on the horn, called Josh who delivered it to Mark and he ended dropping it off to me. I felt like such an idiot. I used someone's ghetto blaster system for the music for the cocktails portion, so it was all good. Got the actual system a few minutes after they started supper. It was tremendously hot in the community hall and after starting at 9 PM, I was done at 12:15 AM. I then scurried over to say hi to Shad at the school and mixed a few tracks. Had some food and some drinks then ended up driving home around 3:3o AM or so. New record, passed only 1 car on the way home, and they were going the other way.

Sunday, was a day of rest. Wasn't working at Blarney, because of the B93 thing, but I dropped by after going to Sheree's house for a few drinks and a dip in the pool. Blarney was busy, and I had a lot of people come up to me to voice their displeasure with Paul Wittle. No hip-hop at all, and the stuff he played was at least 1.5 years old. and a LOT of dance remixes. It was busy because of the long weekend, not because of what Paul played, or the Ladie's night Sunday thing. I hope Chris' ego doesn't get too inflated by something he may think caused it to be busy. We will have a talk.....
