On Saturday I bit off a little more than I could chew! I was asked to DJ at a birthday party for Liz on Saturday night at the Double Header. But Saturday day I also thought it would be a good idea to head up to Stevens Pass for my first snowboard day of the season. In retrospect, snowboarding and DJ’ing on the same day is a bad idea for a few different reasons. One is that I could break my leg before I get a chance to ‘break a leg.’ The other is that by the end of the day, even if my legs aren’t broken, my arms will be!
