Without a shadow of a doubt I can say that Kyle and I delivered one of the hottest, if not the hottest, Sweet 16 in Tampa Bay. Let’s talk location: Ritz Theatre in YBor. The largest room where rigging is allowed… however this was a smaller party (100 kids) so such a big room wasn’t needed.
Let’s discuss lighting… 6 Scanners, a Blisslight, and 6 LED Floods in a 2000 Sq2 REALLY lit that place up like a christmas tree. A 7′ screen is normally small, but it filled the place up quite nicely.
One Yorkville sub was the only thing needed for bass there. In a brick room, the bass resonated so much the stage was shaking. The jog wheels on my DAC3 were moving around– kinda ticked me off during mixing, but I wasn’t turning that bass down. 
The energy WAS INSANE. These kids loved rap, techno, house, and 90s music! Oh yes, I’ve never seen *N Sync’s Bye Bye Bye blow up like THIS!
Ybor patrons were walking by and looking in the window, many were coming in asking how much the cover was. No sir, the hottest club in Ybor is by exclusive invitation. 
We set up our infamous Shoutout-Box, where Caroline’s friends and family could send dedications, photos, and shoutouts. She was thrilled to read so many of her friends and family wishing her a happy birthday…. suddenly everyone freaked out when they say shoutouts from Tampa Bay rap superstar Acafool, 69 Boyz’ top dog Thrill Da Playa, and special birthday serenade from my boy Cupid.
Awesome video below.. you gotta check it out!
