7/12/08 Kristin and Gary

Almost two months after performing for a large Peruvian crowd, this night I got to perform for another group that likes to have a good time, Armenians.
First off let me tell you Kristin and Gary were two very great people. I loved working with them from the very start. Both very athletic, their relationship actually started as a Triathlon partnership and well as they say the rest is history. The thing that I liked most about them was how important family was to them. Gary and Kristin both have children and they wanted to focus the evening not only on there union in marriage but also them joining there new families. They even did a special family dance that had Bride and Groom with all their kids in "The New Family Dance". Now before you start wiping that tear from your eye, Gary and Kristin have a fun side to them, so the song started out with Jack Johnson's "Better Together" and finished with "I Like to Move It", then they wanted me to bring everyone out to the dance floor. That was all anyone needed to get going.
Gary's family is Armenian with some Greek sprinkled in for good flavor, so the guests were treated to a dancing demonstration, done to Gypsy Kings "Zorba the Greek".
It was a great night at a great venue, The Tuscany Ballroom at the Irvine Marriott and I got to meet a new friend in Aaron Wilbert, their talented photographer. I enjoyed working with him as well as Valli the coordinator from the Marriott. Aaron took some great photos that I cannot wait to show off not only here but also at the Homepage.
I will be getting more of these posts in as time permits, but I have been very busy, not only DJing but also keeping Friendly Hills bathed in the warm glow of our Ceiling Swag. The Next Post will tell you all about my Sunday night with Monica and Brandon and some of the Gamma Phi Betta girls.
