A little about me:
I was the audio/lighting nerd in high school and I never got it out of my blood. I was the one who convinced our prom committees, musical departments, etc to shell out big bucks to rent high end intelligent lighting [for me to play with] to enhance their productions. (I also built my own hazer)
I later got a summer job at the production company we rented those lights from doing grunt work, audio, and lighting setups. I did some on-air DJ work for AM, FM and internet radio, and was a VJ at a club for for a while before becoming a full time computer nerd.
This year I moonlighted as a second shooter for a wedding photographer and had the opportunity to experience a wide range of DJs, both good and bad. After seeing what some of these bad DJs charge I decided that instead of working my butt off for another photographer I would have a better time, and make more money doing DJ work....plus I know I could do things a lot better than a lot of the DJs I've seen.
At this point I'm hoping to get ideas for equipment, etc. There are a lot of people on here who I can tell do things right so that's who I'm hoping to learn from. I'm not looking at doing this to get rich...I think it would be fun and I love being able to wow people with an impressive sound & light show.
I knew there was a reason I couldn't bring myself to sell my fog machine!
