OK, just got done DJ’ing on Turntable.FM. They weren’t feeling the Sammy Hagar, that got killed right away, but my second and third songs killed. 😉 Turntable.FM is crazy addicting and scary at the same time. DJ’d with Chris Sacca, a very famous VC and investor (most famous for investing in Twitter). Interesting conversations in the chat room tonight while we were DJ’ing. Oh, and people have no clue what Ubuntu is when they see my computer. Technology is changing the world…love it…fun stuff.
Jeremy Person started playing “Why Can’t This Be Love (Live In St. Louis)” by Sammy Hagar
@Sacca: Hey Jeremy, Eddie Van Halen once came into my record store…
Jeremy Person: Yeah big fan
@Sacca: And when he went over to the Van Halen section, he saw the Sammy Hagar solo album
@Sacca: And he grabbed it and whipped it across the store
@Sacca: smashing the case in the process. 🙂
Jeremy Person: Haha, no…
