Today was awesome! I’m so lucky I was able to witness this amazing event. So many influential Philly bred Dj’s were in attendance. It was a day full of mutual camaraderie and photo flashes from every angle with every combination of Dj’s. The event was held at the Mansion at Forrest Hill in Fairmount park on Parkside Ave. It was a gorgeous space. Jonene Taddei and Kamau Stanford, with a gang of others organized the event, attended to every tiny detail and did a fabulous job. There were individual shots of each Dj taken, one with headphones, a second with a name plaque. Everyone received an information booklet complete with Dj quotes about the event, information on the location and 3 blank pages for autographs in the back. Custom T-Shirts by FreshMeltWater, to celebrate the occasion. During Jonene’s thank you speech a moment of silence was given to note DJ AM’s absence, it was touching. Not but a half hour after the first round of photos were taken did Mix Master Mike, better known as Mayor Nutter arrive to be bombarded with cameras, handshakes and smiles. Everyone was so excited to see him, it was awesome. There was a great vibe and a great celebration of all the great Philadelphia Dj’s, big and small. I had a great time. The afterparty is sure to be a hit as well.
