DJ Gig Tonight

As I've been alluding to recently, I have a big DJ gig tonight, arguably the biggest I've done in my short DJing 'career' (the closest anything else has come would probably be the beach party gig in The Netherlands). Oddly enough, one of the girls who was at that beach gig, my friend Megan Campbell, is essentially the contact through whom I got tonight's gig. It just so happens that Megan, who went to the Haagse Hogeschool in Den Haag, also goes to Oglethorpe University here in Atlanta. So, when we had both returned home from our time in the NL, we started hanging out over at Oglethorpe, where she introduced me to a number of her friends there, many of which are in the fraternity I'll be DJing at tonight, Chi Phi.

But the direct connection for this party is Megan's friend Erin, whom Megan brought to my first DJ gig since I've returned home (the one at Henry's house). It was at that party that Erin decided she wanted to see if she could get me to spin for Chi Phi sometime, and after two months of thinking about it and trying to make it happen, it's all going down tonight.

Although I have no clue how many people are going to show up tonight, I'm still totally stoked. If nothing else, attendance should still be bigger here than at either of my house parties I've done since moving home, so no matter what, it should be a step up for me. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
