Those of you who have seen "Groove" might remember the scene where my friend (and ace DJ) Monty Luke plays the hapless guy whose girlfriend leaves his record box in the car out in the sun before the Big Gig . . .
Other ouches -- well, the ones I can print anyway -- turntable divers (seen two real ones, including one "incoming missile" while I was playing at a house party) . . . my friend Carlos, a great turntablist hip hop/house/techno DJ, once picked up the needle on the record he was playing, not the one he was cueing, with 500 people in the house . . . and I warped a copy of Rez playing in the town park pavilion at Stinson Beach, California on July 4, 1995 . . . you tend not to forget these things :) -- fh
