Club Etiquette 101.1-Let The Games Begin…

DJs can not talk to you when they are actively mixing. Can you send an important deadline email or memo, while someone is picking up your computer mouse and telling you about their day? …Exactly…Neither can we…

DJs are not accountable for your friend’s forgotten passport…or their expectations of a night full of free drinks on their friend’s DJ friend. If I came to your crib and just grabbed some food out of the fridge, then sat down and asked you for some of the food you were eating off your plate, you’d consider me kind of rude right?...Exactly…So would we…

This week is bittersweet for me. Tons of gigs and great happenings including two great nights in DC on Sunday and Monday ( see listing below). In the midst of that, we lost my girl’s grandfather a few days back. I gotta send some parting love, and a strong RIP shout out to my son’s great grandfather, and one of my favorite people in the world, Mr Peter Washinsky. We love you, we miss you, and we will all cherish our memories with you Lolo! I’m so happy you got to meet your great grandson before you left us for higher ground. We all know you’ll have ‘em all laughing  in heaven.

See you on the dancefloor real soon,

Rich
