Who Says You Can't Play Sexyback 6 Times in One Party?!
Saturday night.... 60 twelve year olds.... A Perfect Event, Food For Thought, Frost, and Fig Media own Stephen Fabro and myself Megan Taylor.... brought togehter to celebrate one special Halloween. And celebrate we did. I arrived and set up my decks along a bar in the basement which was created into a haunted dancefloor. The party started at 6pm sharp and by 6:07 I received my first request from Samantha who was throwin the party for her friends for Sexyback. I played many current hits and really had to go back in time to remember what I was like when I was twelve to make this crowd dance. I realized that playing one hit after another was not going to take away the akwardness of a junior high dance, so I decided to be part of the party and I hit the dance floow with the girls. Dancing w/ the girls got them and myself to loosen up and have more fun. I also invited Samantha to come and listen on my headphones and push play on one of the tracks. That got everyone excited and soon I had a crowd around my table. It was a huge success for me to be a part of the party with the kids and it really set the mood from there. Allowing them to play, allowed myself to play more, and I had a better relationship with my audience. I took all requests and played "Sexyback" a record 6 times in one evening with a close follow up of "Chain Hang Low" 5 times. During one part of the night I looked over at Stephen wearing one girls butterfly wings and I had become an 80's mummy w/ wings and knew the party was a success.
