Fizz setlist 03/30/2009

Great night at Fizz last night. It took me for-freakin'-ever to get the sound setup to work, but once that was done, things went pretty smoothly. Last night was also the debut of my new Samsung NC-10 netbook--I'm in the process of transitioning so that I can use it to DJ, since my little powerbook is getting old and is starting to have health scares. More on the new setup later.

Not much to say about this set--it was a light crowd early in the night (everybody was downstairs getting schnockered at the Templeton Rye tasting), and I ended up dancing a lot. By about 10:15, it was starting to get crowded. I kept dancing quite a bit, basically just playing a bunch of music that I liked, trying to vary the tempo and style. Some of the tracks were inspired by my friend Reggio, who is working with me and some friends on a show for National Tap Day. More on that later too.
