After a few months away, we're back with tales from the frontlines of event planning, DJing, and family life in Bakersfield and beyond. Our schedule has been packed with memorable celebrations - from Cassandra's 18th birthday to Gabby's emotional quinceañera where she danced holding her grandmother's photo following a recent family loss. The technical challenges of managing low fog machines while DJing reminded us why teamwork is essential in this business.
February brought "Beats Over the City," our community event that transformed a downtown parking garage rooftop into a vibrant gathering space. Despite an early morning police visit prompted by complaints before we'd even set up, the day flourished with vendors, classic cars, multiple DJs, and toys for kids donated by Salita James. Seeing our daughters selling tickets and our sons handling security made it truly a family affair.
Wedding season has us booked solid, with upcoming ceremonies stretching from Bakersfield to Paso Robles. Our photo booth business has exploded, with three separate bookings on a single day next weekend. We've even expanded our expertise into new territories, launching "All About the Bonuses" on YouTube – a channel dedicated exclusively to casino game bonuses that eliminates the need to fast-forward through endless spinning to see the good stuff.
Between professional obligations, we've doubled down on family time, discovering the profound connection that happens over dinner and board games. There's something magical about seeing our competitive daughter try to hide dominoes in her pocket rather than lose at a game! These moments, where devices are face-down and conversation flows freely, have become our sanctuary in an increasingly busy world.
Not everything has been smooth sailing, though. From confronting racism directed at our family to dealing with unscrupulous service providers trying to overcharge for simple repairs, we've had to stand our ground repeatedly. These challenges remind us why maintaining integrity and respect remains so important in both business and personal interactions.
