Gravitas

What started as a relatively uneventful week has turned into one of the busiest weeks I can remember.  This weekend is one of the slowest weekends of the summer for us.  Jason is performing for the Warren's 4th of July celebration on Friday.  He is friends with Jeff and his family and won the gig last year and they had a really great time so they invited him back.   They have people come all day and they havea pig roast, fireworks and a ton of games and activities for kids and adults alike.  Last year they had a large foam dance pit and large tricyles and the food was amazing!  I look forward to visiting and checking things out at some point during the day. 

I had a wedding scheduled for July 4th, but unfortunately cancel a month or two ago.  I'm disappointed but I will enjoy the day off with my family.

July 5th has me at Heron Hill Winery again for Ed and Katies wedding.  They are having a string quartet for their ceremony and cocktail hour and I'll pick things up from there with their grand entrance and introductions into dinner and on through the reset of their evening.  I met with them on Monday to go over the final details and met them and their beautiful Rottweiler.  We became fast friends and she was enjoying the country life.

Jason is off Saturday, and I'm off on Sunday so we're looking forward to a mellow weekend and recouperating from a very busy and fun June.  I've had a chance to view some of the picutres from Missy and Rons wedding at Esperanza on June 15th.  They used Tom Mike as their photographer and in addition to being a really great photographer he is a really nice and fun guy to work with.  They also used my favorite Videographer Dave Carro so hopefully I'll be able to provide some video footage from the event as well.

What a super busy, crazy, and great week!  I'm ready for a nap now. We had 6 events over the weekend and this was our first booked to the max multi op weekend and the guys all did great!

Here are a few pics from my week.

The week started with getting ready for gigs and putting systems together. On Tuesday I worked with DJ Jason and got everything ready for the weekend. The kids are now home for the summer and this is a pic I snapped of Fingerlakes Entertainment: The Next Generation. My son and Jason's daughter (5 and 6) getting familiar with an old Numark board and practicing on the Mic.


I had a Thursday meeting with a couple and passed one of my favorite spots in the area, the south end of Canandaigua Lake. Everytime I drive by this lookout I have to stop. The meeting went well and we're going to have a grea time at the couples August reception.


Some pictures of my 6/27 event at The Inn on The Lake in Canandaigua. Very fun event. So hot in the tent most people spent the night outside, I wish I could have. No fans just a sweaty DJ team and another Photobooth!   Last weekend both Jason and I had the events where our client provided a Photobooth from Finger Lakes Photo Booth.  They do a great job.  Saturdays Photobooth was provided by Upstate Photo Booth out of Binghampton NY.  2 weeks in a row, and 3 consecutive events with one being there. Played a slide show during dinner dedicated to the brides sister and husband who were married the same day in 1992. Went over really well. The mother of the bride fainted twice from the heat, but fought her way to the end of the night.




Saturday had me at Heron Hill Winery on Keuka Lake. One of my favorite weddings of all time. Great couple, lots of energy, great guests, great view, and a packed dance floor from start to finish. Nothing fancy with this one just good tunes and fun intros.
