Don't Drink and Spin
I had a good time tonight at the Venus Room, but there is nothing special in that; I usually do. What made tonight worthy of note was the guest DJ, a friend of Dino's. He was quite enthusiastic, enthusiasm which likely was due, at least in part, to the not inconsiderable amount of alcohol he had obviously partaken of immediately prior. There were a few blunders, like suddenly losing all volume a few times, but the ensuing good-natured shouts of dismay and advice (It's the little triangle button! The green one! With the little triangle!) from the dance floor served to restore the music in seconds. He played remixes of familiar songs, and I for one, loved it. Well, aside from his habit of suddenly ending a song 30 seconds into it if he found that it did not suit his fancy at the moment. All in all, it was like having a very happy and hyperactive 7-yr-old running the booth. I personally hope he comes back. But perhaps a wee bit less tanked.
