Guest DJs 2013

45 Comments

with the negotiations completed and contracts all signed, we're happy to announce the recruitment of a fresh round of guest DJs. we're looking for a few sensitive young men and women to take a turn behind the tables.

if you're interested, please send an email to hungryjoe [this thingy] wgom.org. first priority goes to new DJs. spots left over will be spread among returning DJs (2011 DJs have first priority, then 2012's crop), awarded by random number generator. also, months will be awarded by random number generator.

deadline to apply will be thursday, 20 december 2012, at, oh, let's say 3pm CT

come be the next opportunistic renegade.

EDIT: if you have any months that won't work out as well, let me know and i'll try to get the schedule to work for you should you be chosen

EDIT II - RESULTS:

nice turnout for volunteers. we had 6 newbies volunteers, so they're all in. for the next group, we had 7 people that last had a guest run in 2011, so all their names were put into consideration. to choose, their handles were placed in alphabetical order, and then a random sequence of numbers 1-7 was generated and that order was matched to the alphabetical list of names. numbers 1-6 are in, and whomever received lucky #7 would have to wait until next year.

The candidates:

  • Beau
  • Can of Corn
  • cheaptoy
  • freealonzo
  • MagUidhir
  • Twayn
  • Zack

and the random number list:

sorry, breau, it's going to have to be next year (though you'll be first in line if we need a pinch hitter).

and, with further random number usage to determine months with schedule requests taken into account, your 2013 guest DJs!

  • january 14-20: Zack
  • february 11-17: Sheenie
  • march 11-17: Rowsdower
  • april 15-21: Jeff A
  • may 13-19: Philosopher
  • june 10-17: Can of Corn
  • july 15-21: freealonzo
  • august 12-18: Twayn
  • september 16-22: MagUidhir
  • october 14-20: cheaptoy
  • november 11-17: davidwatts
  • december 16-22: FirstTime 'hitman" LongTime (added at my insistence, and, technically a newbie guest DJ)

there you have it, folks. if DJs want to trade months, that's fine, just let me know. thank you again for the great volunteer turnout. those that missed the cut this year will have much better chances next year. any questions, let me know.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis – Irish Celebration

Video

Macklemore loses a little bit without a crowd, but I've caught him four times in the last eighteen months and watched him go from the Seventh Street Entry to the mainstage at Soundset.  If you're interested and want to see a baseball tie-in, search for his song "My Oh My."

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears – Sugarfoot

Video 2 Comments

Caught them last Spring opening for Sharon Jones.  Rather than pay Ticketmaster fees, Sheenie offered to go to the State Theater box office forty-five minutes before tickets went on sale.  The staff made a big ordeal about how they didn't have time to sort through the system to get people tickets where they wanted (because the State had assigned seating), so to please just take whatever tickets you get (and they all cost the same).  Sheenie was handed two tickets in the orchestra pit.  We ended up being about three feet from the bari sax.  Great stuff.

Cake – The Distance

Video

Apologies for the delay.  I did love the sword fight and watched it twice.

Anyway, I rode yesterday with this song in my head.  I also was wearing my old Fashion Nugget shirt and had someone approach me at one of the rest stops and ask if Satan was my motor.
