Welcome to the world of wedding planning. (J-Lo, you're not welcome here.)
Last night, Katie and I met the guy who will most likely be the DJ at our wedding next August. He just seems a cut above the rest, he knows his music (C: "Yes, do you know who sings "Somebody's Getting Married?" DJ: "Sure, the Muppets." C: "You sir, are a musical god."), and it seems to be a perfect fit. Very elegant, very professional. So fresh, and so clean. No inflatable guitars. (Besides, if they were to be a guitar at the wedding, I want it to be Dave's Fretmonster.) Anyways, before we sign the contract, he encouraged us to look around, which will prove that he's the perfect fit. So, in no particular order, are the best "DJ"s money can buy:
1. Don Johnson - Putting his days as Nash Bridges behind him, Don was the first DJ that came to mind. We could do it all retro style. I would wear a tux with the sleeves rolled up, with a baby blue t-shirt, and there would be random explosions during the cake cutting. He does insist the first dance be to "Heartbeat". That could be a problem.
2. Davey Jones - So this is what he's been up to since the Monkees disbanded - he's doing weddings! Plenty of fan favorites here, including I'm a Believer and Last Train to Clarksville. Katie turned this one down when Davey said that the wedding party has to enter the reception doing the Monkees side by side walk.
3. Derek Jeter - Hey, if A-Rod ever takes over at shortstop, it looks like #2 has a side job to tide him over. (Not a bad life, mind you. Phone it in all year, and work hard in October. Nordberg?) Once a Yankee, always a Yankee, so the only music he'll play is Big Apple classics - New York, New York (Sinatra); New York State of Mind (Joel), New York Minute (Eagles). Anyway, Jeter can get a little crazy on the dance floor, as per the Visa commercial he and the boss are in. Seems risky.
4. Dan Jenkins - Ah, One Accord's skitmaster extraordinaire. Has always been on top of his musical game, introducing me to such bands as Skillet, Relient K, Smalltown Poets, and Third Day. Could do a set of One Accord, if he wanted to. Of course, he's a bass through and through, so he'd probably screw with the EQ so that there's no treble whatsoever. That's problematic.
5. Djibouti - Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake. Shake Djibouti.
6. D.J. Tanner - would play a lot of techno - you know, progessive, electronica, full house. Maybe a set from Jesse and the Rippers, too.
I'm glad we've gotten this decision out of the way. Ok, back to being casual. After all, it's Friday.

Who Stole the DJ?

D.J. Qualls - He may look like a skinny little white boy but he'd play some Run DMC (Tricky) and Play That Funky Music, White Boy. He'd dance an irish jig, dress like Braveheart, and bring Eliza Dushku as his date. As for his payment, you'd just have to give him a lot of Hot Pockets and Xena tapes. How can you go wrong with this one?
It always comes back to SbtB. He was a DJ when he went to Bayside, and got the radio station, KTTY, shut down. Sounds like a poor choice to me...mass hysteria
On a semi-serious note, congrats on picking out a DJ. It was pretty easy for us as well, but at least it's one more thing done!
My friend Dave Johnson should be available. He's also a skinny white boy, albeit from Iowa. I owe you? IOWA!!!
