0:00 Jonathan and Brian here

Alright folks, Jonathan and Brian here. Now, I'll say a little bit about it and then this guy's going to finish off. There's a guy called Alan Robb. Right. Now, he gave Brian a wicked idea. The Scottish DJ. The Scottish DJ. Now, first of all, as you know, we have done, Brian organized the first Worlds Ever Practice and Enjoy 2008 held around the Milwaukee area. With Alan Robb's help. With Alan Robb's help. Okay. But... How about this? You guys, you're probably scratching your head thinking that's fantastic, but when are we going to be able to see Jonathan and Brian in our town? When can we have our own events? Well, listen to this guy and he's going to explain something to you. How about you do your own? How about we start our own meetings, be it monthly or maybe once every two months, in your own community? There are several different organizations you can join for a fee and you can get together.

1:28 Things, to talk about concerns

With, you know, some of your DJs in your area, swap ideas, share war stories, play with some new kit, whatever the point might be. But, you know, there's a fee for this. What if you just... Yeah, I need to get my screws loose. What if we could do this with no fee? What if we could just do it very grassroots, contact the people in your area, find a good night in a central location where everyone can kind of get together and have a DJ tutor meeting? You can call it whatever you want, I suppose. But if you want to call the DJ Tutor meeting, you've got our support. All practice and enjoy. We've got some criterias. Number one, it must be free of charge. And number two, you must have fun. I want it all to be free. Make it relevant. Perhaps the way to go is to have the first half of the meeting as kind of a wrap session to talk about things, to talk about concerns or ideas.

2:26 You know, think about it from this point of view as well

This is where you have a small PA and maybe some kits set out and you can have some fun and play some music. What are your thoughts on it? Let us know. And bearing in mind, you can do this anywhere around the world, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. The main thing I think, two main facets, one is a venue. Make sure you've got a venue and make sure those people, the person in charge of that venue doesn't mind you taking a bit of kit and having a few DJs there. And also, make sure that you tell everybody. Make sure you, you know, through video response or through posters, flyers, word of mouth, text, make sure a lot of people get involved so you know people are going to come. Now, like our first event, don't think you're going to get thousands of people turning up. If you do get thousands of people turning up on your first event then we want to be there. If you don't it doesn't matter because it will just grow and grow and grow.

You know, think about it from this point of view as well. You will do loads of videos because another one, when you turn up at this event, take your video cameras and video the people on the decks. Put them as responses to, let's say, our video or someone else's. And then everyone else will be responding to other videos, to all of the practice and enjoy videos. Share your videos. Exactly, so we'll get a whole loop and we can see all of them. I would love to see a bunch of guys in Japan... That's it. Let us know your thoughts. Alan Robb, this is for you. Practice and enjoy.
