Further V.J confusion.

I ask for it. I was a DJ before I was a VJ So thats what many folks know me as.

It doesn't help that my DJ name was "Vag on the Turntables" so some folks assume the term "VJ" is a play on Vag or something. It also doesn't help that I trigger my video art from a keytar whilst being on stage. Even folks who have seen me numerous times still think I'm playing music.

Here's a typical conversation:

THEM: You're DJing tonight?
ME: VEEE-Jing.
THEM: like Martha Quinn?
ME: No, it's live video mixing.
THEM: So your playing music
ME: I'm playing video
THEM: But you have a keytar
ME: It triggers the video
THEM:So you play the video on the computer and music on the keytar.
ME: no, just video
THEM: Oh. Can you play "Love Will Tear Us Apart"?
ME: I'm not DJing, I'm VJing
THEM: Like Martha Quinn?

FINE. LIKE MARTHA QUINN.

STARTING NEXT TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18th...




We came up with this concept at the Hopewell premiere party. We played the video a few times, then as the night went on I just began VJing off youtube.

It turned into a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Folks just starting yelling out requests. We laughed our collective asses off at the new RAMBO trailer. And James Brown & Little Richard on Wheel Of Fortune. Then it turned into old school music video after video. Bowie. TREX. The Stones. People started getting up and dancing. Some folks had their own videos to show. Then we'd go back to stuff like BoHE-MAN Rhapsody and Gino The Guinea.

These videos are so much more entertaining when viewed in good company.

Come see for yourself!
