Michael & Kristen's Wedding Party

2/14/09. Today was Valentine's Day and what better day to have a wedding party? Michael and Kristen were married in January but waited til today to celebrate with their friends and family. Everybody had a great time and the staff at Ross Bridge made everybody feel like royalty. This party was interesting to say the least. I think this is the first and probably only wedding party where I played "Championship Pop Bottles" and "Stanky Legg". Congrats Michael and Kristen!

Helena Middle School Dance

2/13/09. Today was Friday the 13th and tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so We threw a "crazy love" party at Helena Middle School. This was the first dance the school has had since they opened this year. The kids were awesome and did everything I told them to do. They danced, they sang and they ran around like crazy people. This was another awesome show for Feel The Beat and hopefully the beginning of a great relationship with Helena Middle. Go Panthers!!!

Game Show Mania - Papa Saia's

2/12/09. After leaving Montevallo Middle School I had to shoot on over to Papa Saia's for Thursday night Game Show. This was a special night because it was Maggie's 50th Birthday. She won her usual round with 910 points, then let Sugar play for her in the finals. Sugar scored 800 points in the final to take home the gold. Congrats Sugar and Happy Birthday Maggie.

Montevallo Middle School Dance

2/12/09. This afternoon was Feel The Beat's first time doing one of Montevallo Middle School's dances. The kids hit the dance floor from the first note I played of "Let It Rock". The student's seemed to have a great time and next time they have a dance, Feel The Beat will be there. Rock on kids!

Game Show Mania - Papa Saia's

2/05/09. We had a great night at Papa Saia's last Thursday. You couldn't have scripted a better tournament. After trailing the majority of the first round Sue Ellen came from behind and won her first round of Game Show Mania ever. Then in the second round Maggie did her usual and coasted her way to another championship round. Then in the third round, Wally answered the final question correctly to secure the final spot in the championship. With all three of our contestants set, the championship round was under way. It all came down to final Jeopardy. The question: This is the number of U.S. states that begin with the letter "M". Maggie and Wally say "5" and Sue Ellen said "8". With Eight being the correct answer Sue Ellen wins her first Game Show Mania championship. Congrats Swells and thanks to everyone at Papa Saia's for a great show.

Karaoke @ Papa Saia's

02/04/09. Last night was the first night of Karaoke at Papa Saia's in Alabaster. To my surprise it went a lot better than I had first imagined. People were lined up ready to sing before I could even plug in my system. This is going to turn out to be a really good regular Gig to do. So, if you're in the area of the Alabaster on Wednesday nights and you love to sing Karaoke, Papa Saia's is the place to go. Good People and $1 drink specials, Need I say more?

Game Show Mania - ADTRAV

1/30/09. Another awesome show for the Feel The Beat guys. We were at the Marriott 280 this Friday to do Game Show Mania for the good people at ADTRAV. We did a few rounds of "Let's Make A Deal" and four rounds of championship "Jeopardy". The crowd was awesome. they stayed into it the whole night. During "Let's Make A Deal" a few of the ADTRAV ladies even tried to bargain for our "Guy with the box", Justin. I know now to never ask to see a tattoo again. It was a wild night to say the least. Check out the video to see. Thanks ADTRAV.

Flippo / Hathcock Reception

1/31/09. We had an amazing time this weekend at the Sylacauga Country Club. I want to thank the staff for making me feel right at home and preparing an awesome spread. Erin and Russell are a beautiful couple and I am glad I got to be a part of their very special day. Their friends and family packed the dance floor all night long and almost wouldn't let me leave. Here's what Erin had to say about my services:

"Joe was amazing! Everyone thought he did an excellent job. He ran things efficiently kept everyone entertained and made us feel like we were his old friends. We would definitely hire him again!!! People were asking about him after the wedding. His performance did the talking for him. he did a GREAT job!!!"

Thanks for such a wonderful time, and a very special thanks to Devine Photography for all the wonderful pictures.
