Out With The Old....

Ok, it's been a little bit longer than planned since my last post. What can I say, free time isn't what it used to be! Regardless, I believe it's time for a little catch up:

In the last few months, I moved from Saturday nights to Friday nights at Carson Street Live, and now have moved on to bigger and better. Now, you can find me most Saturday nights at Seviche in Downtown Pittsburgh playing Latin/Global house music. It's a great feel with great food and drinks. If you get a chance to swing through, make sure you say hi and take a picture with me! I'll be putting it up on facebook, twitter, and here on the blog from time to time. This leads me to the next update...

I now have a Facebook Fan Page! Check it out here (DJ Ley Facebook Fan Page), show some love, and become a fan! There is also a permanent link on the right side of the blog now. I truly appreciate the support!

About a week ago, my good buddy Flick from 96.1 KISS FM headed down to the Katy Perry show at Peterson Event Center in Pittsburgh. Now I've been to tons of rock concerts and a few electronic concerts, but never a pop show, so I have no idea what to expect. Well, Katy did not disappoint. DJ Skeet Skeet opened up, getting the crowd amped for the main event, and then Katy came out. I ended up having a great time, a few laughs, and even caught the pop star singing a home town favorite (Black and Yellow?). The seats were great, and so was the show. What came next, I didn't expect.

We ended up heading to an exclusive Meet and Greet with Katy! She was so kind and welcoming to the handful of people who came back, and she gave each of us some one on one time. I give her tons of credit, spending time with us after just finishing a full show! Thank you Katy.

If that wasn't enough, a few days later my friends over at Shop 412 added the picture on their website. Thanks to Aaron and Christian!

More coming later today!

New Year, New Blog, New Ideas

That's right folks, Welcome to 2011! Big things happening this year.

First off, Its a new year so people are making all kinds of resolutions. Chances are, about 82% of those resolutions will be forgotten or left behind come mid February. Big surprise. What you can look forward to is a massive influx of random people you've never seen before at the Gym for the next few weeks. The good news? You won't have to worry about getting to know any of them until February 1st because by then, you'll know who's really sticking around.

Also, Right before the holiday break, I was invited to join a DJ crew (Exciting) and now I will be posting on their blog. Don't worry, I'll still be posting here, more of the free form fun I always do, but this new site will have a few of the other guys posting on it as well, so it gives a little bit of diversity to the mix. Check it out here at www.radioscreams.com

Also, I'm back to school, working on my MBA. I know, I'm insane. Full time job, this blog, the new blog, DJing, this DJ crew, my MBA, and trying to have a social life (have I mentioned that I gave up coffee for the new year?(See you in February)). I know that eventually something will have to give, and you know what? It's ok with me. Life is all about experences, and without trying new things from time to time, everything gets stale and your brain turns to mush and then zombies will start ruling the world....

Ok, so maybe not that much, but you get the picture. Life is about learning and growing as a person, so try something new this year. Hell, try a hundred new things this year! Who knows, you might actually find something you like
