We Will Rock You!

WOW!!

That is the first thing that I want to say about this week at Exile, and I will certainly go into detail, because I am soooooo proud of all of our staff!!  And I am sooooo happy that so many of our VIPs came over this week to hang out with us!!

Not once, but TWO times this week, we hit traffic records!  First on Wednesday, and then again on Saturday!  Saturday's traffic put us close to a few other clubs that have memberships double to triple that of ours.  By close, I mean, within 2,000.   What an awesome achievement!  Also, we have surpassed 400 members in the Exile main group.  Woohoo!!

Saturday night at Exile started out on a rocky note - DJ Jynxxie wasn't able to make her shift, and had left me an offline about it.  I got in touch with her host, Spydie, and he talked to DJ Daz, who came in and covered Jynxxie's set.  She had an amazing number of people at her set when Master and I came in around 7pm slt, and everyone was having a great time at the Sock Hop.

I had gotten some offline notices regarding our iShout stream - the US Servers had gone down, and so I ran over to rent a EU stream so that I could DJ for Naked Night.  After Daz finished DJing, Master had to load the new stream info into the board, so Naked Night was a few minutes late getting started.  Meanwhile, people were POURING into Exile - it was like a bus had pulled up outside and was letting people off!   When Naked Saturday started, there were 26 people at the club!!  Everything was going great, and I was about 10 songs in .... and my internet went down. GAH!  Master IM'd Daz, who still had her SAM up, and she took over my set for me.  I was able to get back online with my phone, and so I was still able to be there.  About 10pm slt, my net was back up again, so I got to DJ the last hour of Naked Night, heh.  When it ended at 11pm slt, we still had about 10 people in the club, but they were tapering off.   The funny bit about that was, that my internet apparently wasn't ALL the way up, because I couldn't DJ and be on SL at the same time.  So, I was on Skype with my phone, and had my stream going, and Master proclaimed it to be "Remote Requests, Exile Style", and he was relaying requests to me via Skype, on my phone.  Ha! No one can ever say I am not a devoted DJ!  Our traffic for the night ended up being over 9,000 - a new record for the club!

To all of our staff -- I am SO impressed with the way that you handle yourselves, and the way that you all work together to make sure that events get covered with as little stress as possible.  Thank you SO much for making Exile such a wonderful place for our patrons to come and hang out!! 2014 is going to be an AWESOME year for Exile!

Peace and Love,
