Arrived in to Sin City and didnt get from the airport after a 640 arrival and to my room after a horrendous line up for the room check in. I have to head out in the morning and will pick up my rental and then back for early sign up. I played a little poker at Slots O fun and met a Pub DJ from London here but not for the convention. Was a very nice chap and then I went back to the hotel for a late nite snack as I ate late lunch before my flight. Im tired and up in the morning at 730 to go pick up my rental as there wasnt one thing on a DJ budget available for Sunday. I will ride the Deuce bus back to the airport rental station and pick it up at 10 and then off to the very first earlybird show seminar.

David will show you how to explore new avenues in the way of playing music not only ethnic but combining mainstream hits as well. Learn to come out of your comfort zone and expand your business by reaching out to different ethnic groups.
