So i got a surprise direct message from an old client from the 90s this evening...and they sent over a couple photo's from 2 seperate events i did for them back around 92 or so...
i have to apologize to Mix on this one....my cable management game was pretty sad....and apparently i sat down for atleast a moment... (never remember ever sitting down to dj...lol)
So this first photo is a booth i built...i called it the grey beast....it dismantled into two pieces...u can see the seam.... both pieces were probably 100 to 150 lbs each...lol... it had the light attached... a gooseneck for the mic...and we even added that digital scrolling sign on the front....we could put text up...congratulating the guest of honor....it even had little animations like fireworks.... super tacky by todays standards....but it dazzled clients back then...lololol ... you can also see a primitive fog machine in front...
within a few months of that party i had saved up enough to replace my consumer cd players ...amps and speakers for more professional fair.... as well as added to my light show and hired on a pretty good team of assistants who ran the lights and helped set up... we even had team jackets (i think ive posted pics of them...)
the light rig was a fairly complex light board...with color coded output jacks and sent out to multiple power strips that then merged into 2 giant snakes that fed to each light stand... we also had effects lights controlled on a rackmount power strip.....it was such a mess...but it worked
