1st So Cal Beach Event

DJ Roueche here with another blog. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this. The AVP has now completed 5 events so far and this past weekend we were in Huntington Beach, CA. It was nice to be back on the beach in Southern California. I've been the DJ with the AVP for 6 seasons now and this past weekend I had a first. They moved the DJ booth from the stage on center court to the sand on center court just behind the player boxes. Other than a thin layer of dust, from the sand, on my DJ computer for most of the weekend, I liked being that much closer to the action. Players had more access to me and I got more music request from players this weekend that I ever have in the past. If the booth stays on the sand, I suspect I will continue to get more and more.
Even though the AVP event was in Huntington, I still DJed at Sangria in Hermosa Beach on Friday and Saturday night. I added up all the hours and over a 2 1/2 day span, I DJed 23 1/2 hours with a total of 9 hours of sleep. That's the life of a DJ sometimes. Got a couple days at home and then off to the ATL for the next AVP event. Got a crew in Atlanta that's looking forward to my arrival and I plan on having a good time on and off the AVP Site.

NBA Playoffs

Toyota Center in Houston, courtside

Hey Everyone, DJ Roueche here again. You may have noticed that I wasn't in Riverside, CA this past weekend DJing for the AVP Riverside Open. The AVP was kind enough to loan me out to T-Mobile and the NBA to tour the the southern and western parts of the country DJing Fan Viewing Parties for the first round of the NBA Playoffs. My first stop was in Dallas, TX on April 18th where we set-up a stage, video screen, T-Mobile customer VIP area and a half basketball court at Victory Park in Downtown Dallas. Then we headed to Houston, TX on April 21st to do an event at the Toyota Center where we had 3,000 fans cheering on the Rockets.

We had some free time in Houston and so a few of us went to the Aquarium in downtown where we got to see a White Tiger and watch piranhas feed. The Tiger was so close that if it wasn't for the 5 inch thick glass separating us, I would have been Tiger food.

I'm Currently in El Paso, TX for the night and then getting on our tour bus, fully equipped with Satellite TV, Fridge, couches and beds, and heading to Los Angeles for our next Viewing Party that will take place THIS SATURDAY, April 23rd, at the Hermosa Beach Pier. The Event is FREE, open to everyone and we will be showing the LAKERS vs JAZZ game on a big video screen. If you're a T-Mobile customer, you are automatically a VIP. See you in LA.
If you live in the Denver area, we will be doing a Fan Viewing Party for the Nuggets on Monday April 27th at 15th Street and Glenarm Place.

One more thing and you're gonna like this. You have a chance to win $50,000 from T-Mobile. All you have to do is text "MYSHOT" to 72579 and you will be entered for a chance to play four-time NBA All-Star D-Wade in a game of HORSE at the NBA Eastern Conference Finals 2009.
