It had been cloudy all day, with a little rain here and there. No big deal, though; we got the generator in, built the truss, flew a bunch of speakers, and put amber gel in the lights to give the bar tent that warm, inviting feel (sounds pleasant, doesn’t it?). Once again, the BC Mod Lot had been converted into a village of tent awesomeness, and was poised for another killer Homecoming party.

Last Thursday morning, we headed out on a long day of leaf peeping, stopping occasionally to pick up sound and lighting gear. The ride would leave us in Amherst, poised for an early start to our Friday build at UMass.

It would have been a relaxing evening at the hotel (we don’t get many of those!), except the Red Sox swept us up in their emotional roller coaster. After 11 minutes at Applebees (they closed early), we caught the end of the magical comeback, did some intense high-fiving, then, ultimately, retired to rest up for a big weekend of dance parties.
Too bad Game 7 didn’t turn out as awesome as our shows last weekend.
Wah waaaaaaaah… But seriously, our shows were awesome, and that’s what this is about. Read on.

We heard through the grapevine that RWU’s Chameleon Club theme was going to be “The 60s,” and while we’ve heard that it was a crazy decade… well come on… dance music has come a long way since then. So we were relieved to hear that the theme would be only visually-oriented: A few thousand college kids rocking tie-dyed outfits, and a killer stage setup reminiscent of the main stage at Woodstock ‘69. COOL.
[sigh of relief]. Sorry “Twist and Shout,” I think Flo-Rida’s got us covered. (more…)

At 6pm last Friday, the GB crew sat down to a tasty, outdoor Italian dinner. Not bad, right? It had been a long day, with gear coming in by the truckload from far and wide, but we were on-schedule, and a BEAST of a system was standing by inside Tufts’ Gantcher Center.

It’s been a beautiful summer. In addition to some much-needed down time after the spring craziness, the team has been working hard to perfect and enhance the machine that is GrooveBoston.
After the GB Team Summit and the International DJ Expo, we’ve got new gear, new crew, and new ideas to make this year on the GrooveBoston dance floor the best one yet. Not that you’d spend all year on the dance floor, of course; that would be ridiculous.
