bocce tourney prep
Every 4th of July, Eric "the ladies love" Esposito hosts his annual bocce tourney. my record is pretty good...2007 style points winner, 2nd place overall 2008, and I was def overall winner one of the early years but I don't remember which actual year. There is a cash prize, and beer lunch and Frogmore Stew dinner are included in the entry fee.
One year beer got spilled on my laptop, which fucking sucked. I brought the lappy to play tunes. There is background music playing during the tourney, which we all take turns playing, and it is always like a contest within a contest, to see who comes with the most wicked tunes. When I say wicked tunes, I mean nothing close to dancefloor fare...at the tourney it is all old school soul and funk, and a zillion tons of dub. I wasn't going to take any music this year, but Espo asked me to bring some, so now I have to go up there armed with a million ton bomb file folder of sickness. I know he has some gems to drop, so its on. It's funny because when I play up there is is less like djing and more like creating a playlist in real time, since I am not beat matching. Lazy drunkard style fits the atmosphere just fine. It's always loose and sloppy like your girlfriend's....transmission.
I figure I should go ahead and start the booze portion today. There is a BMX demo in Buford at 5pm, so I'll aim to be suitably beer enhanced by that point.
For now though, I have to fire up Cubase and boost thye volume level on this copy of Shinehead covering Billie Jean, which will no doubt be the hands down tune of the weekend.
