How I did it: had to use boyfriend's parents' house for the cleared out space. very excited bout how good things taste/are going to taste (as they come in). plan early, plant, and maintain! Read how I did it…
i used my numark cdj and a laptop and switched back and forth between the two. it was a friend of a friend’s wedding and they asked me only like a week before it, but it was good pressure to try it.
it went really well! everyone was dancing, like almost the whole time.
i want to get another CDJ, and i need to really practice a lot before i think about moving forward with this realistically.
i’ve been training for the philadelphia 1/2 marathon in november. i’m very excited for it, and i’ve been building up my running. though i haven’t been running as much as i’d ideally like to be well-prepared, it has certainly helped me get fit. by the time i run it, i will be fit :)
read my blog for more info on it, with pics!
