The * Workshop

The Dream Team struck hard this weekend - Cid Galicia, Whitton Frank and myself DJ'd the afterhours for the SLO * Workshop, and rocked the house. Instead of taking the traditional one hour set, we went all night trading 3-song sets back and forth. I haven't been that inspired in a long time. We filled the room, kept people dancing, and I actually heard from someone that they were using the lindy room to "cool down" from the blues room. It was a ridiculous partay. Here are my contributions:
