Great Weekend

So my weekend is over. It was great, its Sunday night, I'm crab red, sleepy as hell, but I feel really good. As you can tell by my profile pic I got to hang out with all my peoples on Friday night. We took the official CAB Crew and Assassins family photo. Not everyone could make it, but we were like 11 deep. I was kind of nervous about getting ready for the Sunday show but things went well. The routine I taught Kotey, we got it quick, and everything fell into place. And even though one of our members was missing, we got through everything really good.

I skipped Thursday, but it was a semi good night. Modern was pretty good. Russ was out of town, so I was djing for two hours. I was pseudo prepared. The first hour went really well. Too bad no one was there to hear it lol. After I started to run out of the stuff that was dope, I was experimenting with a lot of my new stuff. Around 10:30 I started having problems with the sound levels and it was driving me nuts and wrecking my nerves!! It didn't help that one of my friends kept messing with me and turning all the knobs while I was trying to spin. Then when the regular DJ came to take over, he came in and started cursing cause he left some vital equipment at home. So I had to cover an extra 30 minutes.... By this time I was out of ideas. I decided to switch to mixing breaks, which I'm really inexperienced at, and kinda sucked it up haha. At least I played good songs, but the mixing was horrendous. I was sooo happy when the regular dj got back to save me haha. It was tough, and I learned a lot. I still need a lot of dj practice, but spinning for a long time was a really good lesson. It was fun too, even though I was getting stressed out screwing up in front of hundreds of ppl hehe. Oh well at least all my friends were there supporting me.

Saturday was a pretty relaxing day for me. I was going through all my music trying to prepare for spinning. It took so long. I was taking all my cds that I recorded for mixing and making labels for them. It took like 20 minutes per CD cause I was manually tapping out the beats. Then later on all my crew showed up cause everyone was staying over at my place. It was funny as hell. We had 7 people at my little studio apartment. I don't know how everyone fit. It was a lot of fun, but we didn't get to sleep till like 6am, and I had to be up by 9 to get ready for the show.... My crew is crazy...

Sunday was the big show. For anyone that doesn't know, CAB Crew performed at a charity event called Kicking for Kids Who Can't. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness and money for children who cannot afford prosthetics. It was a great show and a great charity. It was very inspirational. Our show had a few hitches, but it went really well. We had a member who couldn't make it last minute due to auto troubles. So we had to replan things at the last minute, and the floor wasn't really as smooth as I expected so I had to take out the headslide, or go bald haha. Also it was hot outside and my leg really really was trying to fall off. It actually did at the end of the routine. I was doing hand hops and it came off and kicked me in the butt. And then I kept going and eventually lost balance and fell. The great thing though, I fell and landed on the last beat of the song....so it looked like it was planned ;)

Haha I saw a lot of great things at the event. I was really worried my crew would be kind of weirded out or not completely interested in the event, but I think they were really moved. I'm really glad, I hope I inspired a lot of people. I know the children inspired me.
