CDs or digital. I SUCK with vinyl. That's why I really don't proclaim myself to be a DJ. I have never been all that great with vinyl. I probably never will be. My qualm with the equipment that I'm relegated to using (Technics' version of the Pioneer CDJ) is that anyone who is capable of operating a computer can all the sudden become a DJ. However, what it DOES mean is that since ANYONE can call themselves "DJ" with this equipment, then you have to be more creative with the songs that you mix and how you cut them up and even what songs you use on top of all that. Digital Interfaces and CDJs allow you to do ungodly things to a song on the spot. I think that's what I like so much. Since I'm pretty intimate with any song what I spin (I listen to songs over and over again to see how and where I can use them, plus I use some of them on the air for music beds for the shows I produce), I'm pretty comfortable with it when I play it. I know when I can talk, I know how long I have to talk, I know where I can loop, etc.

Damn... I didn't even see that one before... Maybe I need to upgrade my prescription. At any rate, I don't consider myself a DJ by trade, as I said before. Yeah, I can work a couple of CDJs, but put a couple of turntables in front of me and I'll sound like garbage. However, if you want to get into DJing, I'd suggest hanging out around DJs. But now everyone is going digital, so its quite simple to put two songs together when you have a computer doing all the dirty work for you. But if you really want to learn the craft itself (which is more than just mixing music in my opinion), then hang around with them. See what they do. Most people that I know that DJ have equipment set up in their house when they're not performing. See if they'll show you how to properly set up and operate the equipment first. The rest will come later. Almost intuitively. If you're talking about DJing on the radio, that's a whole different ballgame. I know our station is damn near completely automated, so its almost MORE complicated to haul in CDJs, Turntable interfaces, or even actual turntables. Hell there are two stations in out building that operate out of a booth no bigger than a closet. I can touch a computer screen and pull up the song that I want and tell the computer when I want it to play. I can record what i want to say and tell the computer when I want it to be said. I just got lucky enough to know someone who is prominent in radio in the area.

Life is splendid in Miami! I just wish the weather would stay cold for a little longer.
Anyway, to answer your question it's hard to be frugal if you're trying to have a good time in SoBe. The clubs range from $25 - $800(VIP). Walking Lincoln Road, Washington Ave, or Ocean Drive, my favorite, can be fun, too. There are restaurants and boutiques on every corner. How much you spend depends on your mood. If you feel like clubbing, which is the hottest thing to do in SoBe, shopping, or just hanging around. There is also the romantic walk on the beach, the movie theatre, or just watching the hot cars go by or the hot mamis and papis. Whatever you do, it'll be fun just cuz it's SoBe!

Depends on the scenario. I would deal with him because ultimately it's not her fault. If both of them are present, and she's running her mouth, it's me and her, I'll deal with him later.
"Hey C! Ya'll havin a line next semester? I wanna be on it! Can I be on it? I'm headed to Bojangles, what you want me to bring you back?" That was in one conversation...a one-sided conversation. I just kept walking, dude was persistent. He never did cross D.A.
