Rob and Melissa's Dance Party Highlights

Oh man .... what a day this was. I'm no stranger to two gigs in one day, but this one really tested my stamina. I love it all, but beach and boat gigs are the toughest by far. There are the elements to deal with (which really isn't too bad in San Diego) such as the sun, rain, wind, etc. And the set-up is much more difficult. Go ahead, try hauling around audio gear in the sand or up the narrow stairs of a yacht.

But it was all worth it once Melissa and Rob's dance parties kicked off. Along with their friends, they all came in from out of town, mostly Chicago. So this party took full advantage of the Southern California outdoors. Hence the double party ... one in the afternoon, another a night.

Check out all the fun in the video below (shot with my Flip HD camera) ... as well the setlist from the beach and the boat. Lastly, if you like the voice at the beginning, that's musician Ryan Hiller.
