Drum Roll Please

Entry #2 from the groom in the wedding blog. Wedding date 04.14.2007. We have traveled far and wide on the world wide web and traversed through the treacherous tables of wedding expos to the north and east. Last weekend, Laura and I completed another task on our Knot checklist. We booked a DJ. His name is Darryl Johnson and he'll be our chauffeur for the evening. Haha! See that was a joke throwing you for a loop because you were probably expecting a Dee Jay, a person who plays records or CDs, and I gave you the name of a person whose initials would be D.J. I'm hilarious. Anyways we didn't get a DJ who plays records and cds last weekend. We went one better and booked a DJ whose entire music catalog is digital and operates through a computer system. Now we weren't completely blown away by this due to the fact that we've seen Soren and Stu do it before at numerous events. But this company was the only one we had seen who promoted this concept at any of the shows.
The company's name is Admit One DJs. You can take a peek of what they have to offer at www.admitonedjs.com. The two managers we met were pretty nice guys with good senses of humor. They currently have 14 DJs in their stables and they feed them a diet of wheat and oats. Occasionally they'll give them a sugar cube, but never before a wedding. Once again, I'm hilarious. Ahem... long story short, we'll be able to update our preferences online (i.e. definitely play and do not play lists, we're taking suggestions for both). If you have any suggestions please post. I don't want to scare anyone but we will not be doing the Chicken Dance due to the fact that some of our guests will have spent time in Asia and the chance of contracting Avian Bird Flu is magnified during the performance of the Chicken Dance. Also, for those from Iowa, we will not be playing the Black Eyed Peas' hit song, "My Mumps". Just too risky.
Anyways, we'd like to thank Tony Lorino for his offer to DJ the wedding. Both Laura and I agree that Tony would've been the best DJ we could find in terms of bringing us the Great Hits from the 50's, 60's, and 70's while delivering us pothole reports in Central Iowa. At the same time, these guys are right down the road in Lisle, and we won't have to worry about them finding equipment and transporting it from Des Moines.
Ok, well that pretty much covers the DJ for right now. Remember send us your requests!!! I believe Laura may post about our encounter with a photographer this morning on the North Side. It was truly delightful. Ok I'll give you a spoiler. We liked Todd. Tune in to hear who Todd is, and why we liked him, even though we've never met him.
