Dinner Plain Hotel -- Mt. Hotham!

Went on a Ski trip to Mt. Hotham with a group for the weekend, and stayed at the Snowbird Inn, close to the Ski Lifts for `The Summit'. It was fantastic to wake up each morning to see snow outside the window, and to see people skiing on the slopes!


Had a great time playing at the Dinner Plain Hotel, at Dinner Plain (10 minutes away from Hotham)!! I played a combined set on the Saturday night, with resident DJ Juddy, from 9pm - 1am. I started off, playing some soft US House, and then moved onto more upbeat US House. Juddy took over for a few tracks with some breaks and darker/electro house after which I continued with some of my more banging tunes, and some commercial stuff. From there we kept swapping every three tracks, until 1am.


The bar at the DP Hotel was awesome! Nice PA system (including lighting and a smoke machine), pool tables and nice comfy couches. They were giving away $1000, free drinks and a mountain bike as prizes for those who purchased a $8 raffle ticket. We didn't win the $1000 but my girl friend managed to win 6 shots, so it wasn't a total waste ;-D


There were lots of requests for country music (mainly Kenny Rogers), but we didn't end up playing (or having) any! Anyhow people seemed to be having a great time.

Definitely the best local gig so far!!
