I&#8217;m up way, way too late (it&#8217;s 4:28 AM as I type this), and work is going to suck tomorrow (I open&#8230;10am&#8230;really shouldn&#8217;t be posting this right now), but it was worth it.<\/p>\n<p>I was a little nervous going in to this &#8212; while I used to have a pretty decent fan base around town, it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve done anything &#8212; somewhere around a year and a half or so since the Eclipse closed down. Plus, in that time, most of my money has been going towards living, bills, and movies, so I haven&#8217;t been picking up a lot of new music lately. So, I wasn&#8217;t entirely sure how the night was going to go.<\/p>\n<p>I really shouldn&#8217;t have worried.<\/p>\n<p>I got there and got set up, and Samurai showed up not long afterwards to set up his turntables. We ended up switching off over the night &#8212; I took the first couple hours from 8-10, he took about an hour from 10-11, then I went from 11-12, he went on again from 12-1:30, and I took over again from 1:30-3.<\/p>\n<p>While we don&#8217;t have a definite headcount for the night, we&#8217;re guestimating somewhere between 75-100 people&#8230;maybe a bit more. While that doesn&#8217;t sound like a whole lot, I&#8217;m actually quite impressed &#8212; considering our radio ads didn&#8217;t hit the air until Thursday, and most people just found out through word-of-mouth, it was a pretty good crowd. Besides, I&#8217;ve seen clubs who were happy to break into the double-digits on opening night, so this was really nice.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody who was there seemed to be enjoying the night&#8230;I saw a few faces I hadn&#8217;t seen in a while, and apparently there was a lot of good word going around both about the place and about the DJ&#8217;ing &#8212; woohoo! We ran out of flyers, too &#8212; I&#8217;m hoping to have more printed up to distribute tomorrow (Saturday), but if that can&#8217;t happen I&#8217;ll definitely be getting them done early in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s all the babble I can squeeze out of my overloaded little brain for tonight&#8230;time to see if I can get at least a few hours sleep before work tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was a little nervous going in to this &#8212; while I used to have a pretty decent fan base around town, it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve done anything.
