B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Things have been crazy lately. Check out pics from one of our dances last week. This is Northridge High School's Senior Cotillion. It's the first time we've been forced to make a decision on whether or not we should allow a banana to crowd surf. Since it was durring "Holla Back Girl," we figured we'd better let the giant banana do as he please. And now, thanks to Gwen, N8DZ knows exactly how to spell B-A-N-A-N-A-S. So that's...encouraging. Thanks N-ridge, the dance rocked all night long. Nice way to end your year.


Wednesday we provided sound and background music for the v|Spring Capital v|100 Banquet, where Governor John Huntsman Jr. spoke to a crowd of about 200 of Utah's top entrepreneurs. While we weren't included in the actuall v|100, we were there with the best...so that's gotta count for something. And you know you've made it big when you're at an event serving all you can eat sushi. And we made sure the deserts weren't poisoned. Several times. So thanks to Aaron, Dennis, and everyone else at v|Spring, we had a great time.

On The Road

Dizzle cruzin' in style to the g-i-g. And our punk rock billboard.

Smooth no-brainer dance Saturday night. It was somewhere in Utah, but even now, I'm not really sure what city we were in. I just wanted to make one interesting note: This was the first time I've ever heard of a "survey" in which teenage respondants said the bass should be turned down a bit. But hey, if you're cutting the check, we'll cut the bass. Not a problem.

The dance went well though. There was a bit of break dancing, a short-lived DDR contest, and whole lot of "old stand-by's" that kept the floor moving from start to finish.

And I've gotta say, I love customer appreciation days at Wendy's. Free frosties. And among the hustle and bustle of the hair nets and heat lamps, if your order gets messed up...they more than compensate you for your time. Thanks Dave.

The Good, The Bad - Prom

This prom sort of had mixed results if you ask me.

It started off good, a lot of people showed up for dinner which is great for us 'cause play good music all night and don't have to wait for the crowd to show up. Then some bad news came to us, 30+ people had to get their pictures retaken because of the rain at Memory Grove. (On that note, it's pointless to read the names over the mic...everyone comes up and double checks anyways.)

Next good thing was the senior video they showed. This was very well done for a student. I'm glad to hear it's not finished though because it was definetely missing things from the year. As soon as that was over, we started with Eminem demanding "Now everyone report to the dance floor" and pretty much everyone obeyed Mr. Slim Shady. It started out great, you could tell everyone had a ton of energy. I was very pleased with how things were going until "The Battle Of The Lights" came into play. Whenever we do Bountiful events it seems someone always turns the lights on and ruins the show. The score...BHS 38 PowerPlay 0. I'm not sure why they turn the lights on, maybe because they're afraid of the dark. Not only did they have to turn some lights on, but they had to be spotlights on the DJ. So Brett and I felt like we were on display all night.

More interesting news...There was a gay couple at the dance. Yep, turns out it attracts a lot of attention too, because reporters were following the couple all night. (Link to Deseret News Report) But the dance goes on. Just as we start gaining momentum from people crowd surfing off the stage and the crowd completely rocking out, ALL the lights turn on and people are like "is it over??" Brett and I were just as confused. Once again we had to battle with the lights and this one was a complete loss. Brett tried to scramble and tell them it wasn't over for another half hour but it was no use, dance over-unexpectedly. It was like being shut down on a date. You get all this excitement and momentum built up but then you get shut down. Worst feeling ever. I wasn't the only one mad about this, the crowd was pretty furious and of course blamed the DJ "you didn't tell us it was the last song, I didn't get to dance with my date for the last song!" etc. People started filing out, and that was it.

So as you can see the dance swung back and forth all night. At the moment I was pretty disappointed with the outcome, but now when I look back I think it was a pretty kick butt prom. I just wish we had better communication with that "someone."

BHS Prom '05

You know a dance went well when there are hundreds of people packing the floor all night long, jumping up and down and the floors in the hotel are bouncing. With all the excitement, the students at the dance across the hall emptied out of their banquet room into ours, and the party got even bigger. It was a pretty impressive sight.

But it's a whole nother thing when the people are sending you flowers, chocolates, and small pets (puppies, parakeets, cats, and a used badger. We gave the cat back.) after the party. To be honest, we didn't get many animals, but a few students did send us text messages to thank us for the great dance. Still not sure how they got our cell numbers...and that's a little creepy.

Anyway, we thought for a few minutes the stage we were on would collapse with everyone jumping on it. And off it. But it held up pretty well, and the night ended with a packed dance floor.

In other news, we should wish a happy 83rd birthday to last Friday. When I was in there at the Triad Center for the b-day party, they were showing one of the only HD radios in the state (plus there was cake, pizza and drinks). It's a pretty cool stereo, and should make AM sound like FM, and FM sound like CD. KSL will be broadcasting in HD by the end of May. And finally, after months of waiting, Weezer's new album "Make Believe" hit store shelves thismorning. Scott called with a quick review thismorning, and I'll be picking it up as soon as I can put away this keyboard.

Finally, to BHS students who had their "singles" taken at Memory Grove: According to your photographer, some of you need to have your singles retaken. Click on "Comments" below for a list. If you see your name, you need retakes.
