Yeah, this is great to see some enthusiasm, and Madison sounds perfect to me (Especially as its only a 2 hour drive for me )! Finding a venue is definitely going to be a bit tricky unless someone **magically** knows someone/has their own farm/house with a decent amount of space for us to rock... Once we find that, we quote "Pull the trigger" on a date and go from there 
The one thing I think we should consider immediately though is just who/how many folks will be here. I know it sucks to have to consider this, but that Ashcroft fellow got a lot of laws passed that *could* get us in trouble... Definitely not trying to be the downer because I want this to go down as bad as anyone, just trying to think of as many details that we will need to consider as possible...
In any event, I think this could be a fuckin blast, and it would be a real good chance for us Wisco DJ's to just get out and perform live. I could sit in my room and spin records for hours, and have that be "what I do" for the rest of my life and be happy I had a set of decks. But man when I have a crowd, and that crowd gives me some good vibes, the feeling I get is better than any sexual experience, any drug experience, any experience I've ever had.
I know this post originated from my crazy experience last Sat, but even on a night that ended so poorly, I have this memory of one girl from that night. I know there were other people in the room, and I was watching them too, but this girl was just locked in on the tunes, and just really paying attention to what I was doing, and it really freaked me out at first. But then, almost instantly, I felt responsible for this girls night, like I needed to figure out what she needed to hear, and the rest of the crowd would follow. There wasn't anything physical about it, and at the end of the night I could care less if I ever see this person again, but for the hour and a half I had on the decks before the "unpleasantness," she was my inspiration. And when I would catch her get a little more into dancing, or even just watch a smile come to her face it provided one of those indescribable feelings that can only come along with live performance (Regardless of what you're playing).
A bit of rambling, I know, but for any MW TA DJ's out there who haven't had an opportunity to throw for a group outside of their bedroom, I figured maybe this would help urge you on to a MW TA Party!
Cheers,
RJT
