My first DJ gig was at the opening for the "Locals Only" show at the BE HERE NOW Gallery.  I've been collecting 45s for a few years, got my second Stanton ST-150 back in March, and have an old Radio Shack mixer.  I've been DJing at home for months, but I've been wanting to take the show on the road. A low key event, like the art opening, was the perfect opportunity for me!  

The show brought together a great group of awesome Athens artists.  Special thanks to Steven and Dan for making the gallery a reality, and allowing me an opportunity to DJ.  I had a great time spinning the records and visiting with old and new friends and talking about records with my old friend Tobin.
