After many, many years, I finally decided to go heavy on branding. The first step I took was the creation of a new logo for the business to help emphasize my direction towards a "Wedding-based" business model... Whatcha's think?

Yesterday, I got a phone call from my girlfriend that I had been mentioned in a very popular blog in the local paper. By the end of the afternoon, 4 other people had called to tell me they saw it. If you've got a moment, here's the link...

I have a wedding coming up in a couple of weeks, and the bride wants to "rig" the bouquet/garter tosses so that 2 particular people do the catching... I've never been asked for anything like that before, and any ideas you all might have will be greatly appreciated! thanks!

I want to take a moment to thank Rick for spending over an hour on the phone with me this afternoon helping me figure out how to get my lappy to recognize my DN2500... There aren't too many vendors willing to take the time to work with someone on a HARDWARE issue that has nothing to do with...

So tonight I take the leap and try my first fully "digital" event. The CDs are here, but I left them in the van (OK, except for a few "essentials...") Am I nervous??? Hell yeah! Wish me luck!

I apologize if this has been posted already, but I didn't see it, and it is BIG news here in the Capital Region of NY... I'll let the article speak for itself and chime in with my personal thoughts later... http://www.cbs6albany.com/articles/wedding-1281943-park-clifton.html

I finally bit the bullet and bought Rockit from Rick last night! Got it downloaded and I'm starting to play now. (I'm like a big kid with a new toy!!) Once I figure out how to tie it to my Denon DN-2500 I'll start playing so I can be comfortable for my first "digital" event! I can't wait to...

Hey all... I'm looking to get a new digital camera, and I'm looking for something that will do well taking photos in the low-light situations that we find ourselves in without going above $200.00... Is there a camera out there to fill the bill? I'd like something fairly easy to use because I...

...will you be attending at the DJ Expo next week? Right now, I'm thinking of these seminars: Monday at 3:00 - All-Star Wedding MCs Secrets Revealed Tuesday at 12:30 - Legal FAQs for DJs Tuesday at 3:00 - Keynote Q&A: DJ Jazzy Jeff Tuesday at 4:30 - NJDJN presents Peter Merry Wednesday at...

My website has been in need of a re-vamp, so I started rethinking the way I've been presenting myself and selling myself, in particular to brides... The first change I've made was on the "Wedding" page of my site where I describe my services, and try to sell clients on the "benefits" of using...

Well the first wedding of 2010 is now in the books and by all accounts it was a successful event. This was the wedding where the bride wanted "games." So after much research and prep and a call to California (thanks again to Kevin!:sqlaugh:), I was set to go with the "Love Song" game and a...

I'm meeting with a bride this Saturday who wants me to suggest a "game or two" during the dinner hour to "break the ice." Since it's not something I typically do, I wondered if you fine folks might have an idea or two that I could steal... I've already figured that I'll pitch the "shoe...

I'm at a point where it's finally time to go digital... It's just getting too hard to lug around CDs and keep track of where songs are... I find myself spending more time looking up song locations than ever before, and it feels like it is getting in the way of controlling the floe of the...

My wedding this past Friday is one I'll be remembering for quite a while... It started with a phone call to the venue on Thursday just to touch base and make sure everything was still on track. I'm glad I did, because the bride decided THAT DAY to have her ceremony in a separate room... No...

I got this email from the photographer I worked with at my last wedding: Here's what happened... On my planner, there is a spot for the client to fill in what time the photographer is booked until. My client indicated that they had the shooter until the end of the reception. They confirmed...

Just cruising the CL postings and found THIS gem: http://albany.craigslist.org/evs/1309456129.html :sqmad::sqmad::sqmad: (And I thought DJ Kenny Casanova was bad, huh, Tim??)

OK, I've searched and searched and I'm at a loss... A while back (I believe since the start of the year) there was a thread about a pianist who covers classical and contemporary music, and who has his work up on youtube, and a file sharing network... Does anyone remember his name? It's...

A little over a year and a half ago, I posted (showthread.php?t=8135) that the tranny on my truck had crapped out. I spent $2,100.00 + tax and had it rebuilt with a one year warranty. Would anyone like to guess what I'm up against again? Ding, ding, ding!!! That's right, Bob, tell them what...

OK, while I KNOW I'm getting the Bliss light this season (Ben, I'll be in touch as soon a si can get the cash together...), I also have some credit available on my Musician's Friend card, and I want to pick up a decent wireless headset mic for a good price... Anyone have any suggestions? For a...

I got a call recently from a woman organizing a retirement party for a NY State employee. After discussing prices, the concern was raised that on many parties like this they really never know until the last minute how many guests will attend. Many times this completely throws off the budget...

Had my first event of 2009 Friday night. A middle school dance for my daughter's school. I have never before felt so out of touch with the music these kids wanted... :sqconfused: I mean, I've got a thirteen-year-old daughter, so I get to listen to it all the time, but almost NONE of today's...

Back in July I did a wedding for a couple who had a small reception, that got even smaller... It turns out that the groom's family didn't care for the bride, and left as soon as cake was served. While they were there, they were absolutely miserable :sqmad: and acted truly put out that they had...

That's what I'll be getting after this weekend... As some of you know, I do a fair amount of business each summer with campgrounds, some of which I've been with for over 13 years. Over the years, more and more individuals have sold out to various corporations, leaving personal relationships in...

...here is reason #437 why kids don't belong at adult events: Apparently dad took his eye off the darling 2-year-old for a moment... :sqerr: Needless to say, the Bride wasn't pleased... :sqmad:
