Hard to believe that I haven't done a post about the Twilight Rummage Sale in so long. I took a couple months off to spend time with family, but I came back in June to be both salesperson and DJ again. Like before, I shared the duty with Estaban, the same DJ/seller that worked with me previously. It went really well and Jake, who months ago helped me figure out all the equipment I needed to get started on this wild lifestyle, told us that we'll probably be part of the ongoing core group that play music at the sales in the future.
I DJ'd again for the Sweet 16 party that was hosted at the I.P.R.C. as the Portland Zine Symposium's opening event. Usually I just bring my mixer, a few connectors, a turntable and an iPod. This time I had to set up a PA and speakers too! The speakers were taller than I am! I was really surprised that no one told me to turn things down. I even had my own private dancer!! A woman started gyrating in a crazie fashion to Strafe and kept it up for a good 20 minutes.
I love it when people want to know what I'm playing and what they especially like. A lot of folks mentioned this cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart.
Now I have to look up pictures of Robert Smith. I make myself sick.
Last Saturday was plain old Twilight Rummage Sale with just me at a table with a zillion DVDs and old magazines. I do have other things I need to bring, so that will entail me sorting through the basement some more.
