As I was picking up my system last week, I noticed that my fellow DJ Nick forgot to lock his storage locker when he left. So Sam and I took matters into our own hands. It is a longstanding tradition at Pro Sound & Light Show to playfully prank fellow DJ’s.
Valentines Wedding @ The Lodge at Giants Ridge
This story is just too cool! I DJ’ed a wedding for Mike & Tracy on Valentines day last week (it was a Friday). The wedding reception took place at The Lodge at Giants Ridge up in Biwabik MN, so it was a little bit of a hike to get up there. They had their ceremony out at Palisade Head north of Two Harbors on the shore of Lake Superior, and they rode snowmobiles out to the head for the ceremony.
When everyone arrived at the Lodge for the reception, we had a most excellent dinner (I seriously love DJing at The Lodge, the food there is amazing, and they have great staff!). And then the party started, and everyone danced the night away. We danced until 1AM!
But the part of the evening that I find the most amazing is that the Groom legally changed his last name to “Valentine”. And so when they got married, they became Mr. and Mrs. Valentine, married on Valentines Day!
Anyways, check out the my gig log from the event!

QSC Speakers @ Mobile Beat
As an owner of QSC speakers myself, I spent some time chumming with the boys from QSC in their room at Mobile Beat. These are some of the best speakers that mobile DJs can get, durable, sound amazing, and compact!

Traveling to Mobile Beat Las Vegas 2014 (MBLV18)
Since I earned the award of “DJ of the Year” at Pro Sound & Light Show for the past 2 years, I had a total of $400 credit built up where Pro Sound would reimburse me $400 towards any training I went to. Lucky for me, the Mobile Beat show qualified! So I packed my bags and flew to Las Vegas for a week to learn, network, and improve myself as a DJ.
