Richardson/Ackman @ The Metropolitan Club

This gig marks my very first time playing at the Sears Tower, where the Metropolitan Club is oh-so highly situated. The view of Chicago from the sixty-sixth floor is beyond any set of words a thesaurus could provide. My awesome assistant Lauren and I deejayed for the sweetest couple I have ever met—namely, Stacy Richardson and Dustin Ackman. Their vision of the night was to have an evening where the floor was packed with happy people dancing (or people dancing happily, take your pick). That is the common challenge for every gig, as it seems. Despite the nerve-racking happenstances of my headphones dying and one of the decks going down on us before the evening began (which were both resolved quickly, thankfully!), we were able to create a night full of fun music that satisfied the diverse tastes of the 125+ people that were there.

I have much more to say on this, but I'll let the photos do the talking for now. There is more to come!
