Crazy with my day job and general life. My sister just got married. I managed to sneak in a quick impromptu set among some of Saskatoon’s notables: Dr. J, Trouble from Wired, Charlie Hustle and Clyde. Vibe was good.
I filled in at the Hose & Hydrant last month. I’m still waiting to get the call to fill in on a weekend, when I’m actually in town. I might around for some Fringe Festival tent action.
My big gig for August is on the long weekend for the Disk Odessy Ultimate tournament party. From what I hear, it’s a big shaker where teams from AB, MB and SK do battle on the pitch and in the bar. It’s outdoor at the Rugby Club. Never played there before, so I’m looking forward to it.
The next night, I’m emcee-ing a close friends wedding. I’m sort of nervous because there is something like 400 people coming. They hired a traditional DJ company, but I’m going to play from 11:30 and on, when all the mamas and papas leave.
At the end of the month I’m playing another friends wedding. It’s a very close friend, and they understand it’s not my thing, but when I know the majority of the people, a wedding can be a good time. It’s just when you’re hired on at a wedding where you don’t know anyone, those are the parties I can do without.
Come the beginning of Sept, I get to welcome the new university students to Saskatoon at the Orientation. I’ll be playing in the bowl from the morning and into the evening. It’s taxing on the brain to come up with a days worth of music. As I get older, I become less relevant with newbies. What’s Screamo?
I’m tentatively booked again for Commerce BBQ. This is pure mayhem. Last year it was 3000 large and this year is sure to beat it out of the water. Can’t wait.
I’m currently talking with another DJ from Calgary to host a benefit event for cancer. Might be early as September. Keep you posted.
Anyways, thanks for listening. We’ll see you when we see you.
