WOO HOO! Thanks for the positive vibes Sirk! I didn't realize that was
you at the coffee shop. Yeah, the vibe was thick and the headz were
nodding. It feels so amazing to look up from the tables and see people
really digging what you're doing. I actually really prefer the coffee
shop vibe. At school, Penn State btw not U Penn, my partner and I
usually spin at a coffee shop. I prefer to have people chilling,
talking, studying as opposed to having them look up at me like some sort
of rock dude. I guess that's why I spin mostly ambient and jazzy stuff.
Well, I'm still here in Miami. I'll be home on Sunday. So far the
conference has been great. I've met so many people and contacts. Maybe
next year the radio station can pay for my registration fee.
Take care my friends,
Pedro Cevallos
