Me and the little woman took a cruise out to Middleton and saw the cruise night over at Quaker Steak And Lube. nice little show, didn’t get to draw anything but saw some neat cars. Specially liked the Austin Healey 3000 and the Vettes and the little Ford Capri.
Saukville is north of Milwaukee about 30 miles located on the Milwaukee River. It’s a pretty good show.
Saukville is an awesome show. It’s in a park and they have decent food and other vendors. I haven’t been there for awhile as I DJ a different show that conflicts with the date…and , no , I do not work for 3D Sound. Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
Much is said about DJs liking to hear themselves and being annoying. However, sometimes the venue requires the jock to say things to push raffles and advertise certain vendors and announce when things like awards are happening. I do agree that certain annoying traits have to go like the haha hey lookie there and when introducing a song, saying things like Let’s check out that little duece coupe, or checking out the Troggs. Just say the songs name with out the checkin’ out thingie. As a car show DJ myself, I try not to do that. I do announce my Name throughout the day, however.
Here ya go! In October

Quote:Entertainment – B Sometimes very annoying at one point any car with wide tires was Pro Street according to the DJ.Which is why you hire a DJ that strictly does car shows, not a wedding jock. icon_punk.gif
I think we can all understand the little accidents that come with being a parent with collector cars. It kinda goes with the territory. The Edsel didn’t belong to the mom with the child, the car belonged to a friend. We were just too shocked when it occurred and we just let it slide, but did inform nicely that maybe some people would not be so understanding of an “urgent” situation. No harm, No foul!
