Last night I got to play DJ at our very favorite bar, and I had a very good time doing it. I put together a couple of hours of music in iTunes ahead of time, so most of what I did during my actual DJing was adjusting levels and moving songs around and drinking free beer and hanging out with my awesome friends. The best part of the whole thing, though, was that people kept talking about the songs that they loved and their experiences with the music – like that B-52s album they bought in high school and listened to every night. I love that, and hope that I can have another DJ night at the Hut before we (eventually) leave DC.

Not only do I wish I could hang out with you, but also at the Galaxy Hut, WHILE YOU’RE SPINNING? (I reserve the right to say ‘spinning’, as the disc in your iPod spins, right? Or do solid-state drives not spin?)
Anyway, this sounds awesome, and I would like a CD of this for my birthday.
