Secret Service Men Don’t Dance

Tonight was my mom's 40th high school reunion.   I was asked to DJ.  I packed up all my equipment and made a playlist and got to the place about 5pm tonight.  It was pretty much the same format as a wedding... sorta... cocktails and drinks and such then dinner then dancing it up!  The thing went from about 6 to 10.  It was a pretty great time.  I got free food and I played requests for people.  It was awesome because pretty much ALL of the requests I didn't actually have... but I could just connect to the wifi of the country club it was at and download nearly any song.  SO they were all like "Do you have..." And I was like "Stop right there... I have it all yo!"  And they were like... "YOU THE MAN!"  And I was like.. "well thank you very much that's so kind of you!"

In the guests tonight were two pretty high profile people.  One of them I got to meet.  He ranks up there pretty high.  He works closely with the president.  He brought along a few good men to stand in the corners and survey the area to make sure nothing happened to him.  They didn't dance.  They just stood there all Men in Black style and watched.  So high profile guest number one is the guy:

His secret service peoples where all like... secret... and what not... but I'm pretty sure at one point I did notice one of them tapping a toe.

The second person of notable interest I didn't get to meet...  buuuuut I did see him from across the room... he's this guy:

He's one of the owners of the 76ers... if you look up that list of owners of the 76er's one of them is Will Smith.  That means that guy that I was in the same room with... has also been in the same room as Will Smith.  Soooo technically I'm two or maybe it's one degree(s) away from meeting Will Smith.

But in all honesty.... everyone there tonight was pretty awesome.  And you wouldn't have known just by hanging out there tonight that the few people that were up in the high roller status and hob nob with rich and famous people were anything but just people.  I mean aside from the 3 guys in suits in the corners of the rooms that is.  But other than that... they are all just people!  Awesome people too.  Oh and my mom had a fantastic time.  She and her one friend organized most of it.  It's a lot of work to organized a reunion.  All I did was just stand there and eat a bunch of food and play some tunes.  Which was a pretty awesome time if I do say so myself.
