....IN THE HIZZY!!!
Its a quickie cos I need to leave for Vegas. Wanted to get these pics up from last nights DJ escapades!! I really did have a lot of fun. Big thanks goes to 'The Girls' who turned up to support the debut DJ appearance by Yours Truly. Hope you all had fun. I gotta tell you that I could end up doing that again. I got the hang of it really quickly, and loved being able to play anything I wanted. I kept turning it up, so that the usual complaint of "Its not loud enough" didnt apply, and even messed about with the whole 'scratchy scratchy look at me I'm a DJ' thing!! I do, however, have a new found respect for the Pro DJ's of this world, as playing records is one thing ..... making it seamless, appropriate and being a showman at the same time?.... THATS another. I'll be leaving that to the Pro's. Oh yeah - and dealing with drunk people asking you if you can play The Rolling Stones, or if you havent got that, how about a bit of Celine Dion???!!!!! - GO AWAY!!!
Big thanks to Geoff Thomas, who was the guy actually throwing the party, to launch his new line of custom (and SICK!!!!) jewelry - check out the pic of the gold ring that he made for me ..... I am telling you, THIS is the guy to see if you want original, one of a kind BLING. Check out his site from the links on the side of the page.
Gotta get outta here - all the way to Vegas today for one song - its for Spike TV and it airs this month sometime. I'll get a date and time when I'm there. And I am going to stay in Vegas and do the whole Maxim Magazine party thats going on all weekend at The Wynn. Never stayed there before, so I am excited to check the hotel out. I think an afternoon at the Spa will be on the menu, plus a lot of laying around enjoying a day off - or maybe I'll just drop the life savings on red and see what happens. Video camera is packed, so hopefully I can finally get around to knocking up another V-Blog. I'll take the computer and maybe do it up while I'm there. If not, I'll edit it all after New York. Thanks to everyone who sent in their Tattoo Pics - keep em coming ..... I want a huge Morrison Tattoo Gallery up in here! And thanks again to everyone who came last night. Believe it or not, I was nervous to start with, but having people around helped, and I settled in to a fun night. Hope you had fun too.
Off I go - Peace
Billy

Thanks for a fun night out, Mr. DJ! The scratching part was hilarious! The art & jewelry were incredible as well. Celine Dion?! You're kidding, right? Gawd.

Nice one Billy, you'll have to record your set sometime. Or maybe webcast it? No idea how doable that is.

Your gonna need bigger bling around your neck if you want to do more of this DJ thing ;-)
Enjoy the Wynn, it's absolutely beautiful! I was there last year and that Hotel just blew me away.
See you on the 11th!

I just played my first DJ set on friday, and like you i really enjoyed it. Hopefully Ill get another chance soon. Sweet ring too.
Is gettin a tattoo a bad idea before you're fully grown?
Also if you ever have some spare time please could you please check your info@kingmobmusic account .. and look for an email entitled Advice.
