2024 was a busy year with some super fun high points in both club work and private events. From the 80s Prom Theme Gala fundraiser in RI w/Jay Leno for the Audrain Museum (see the blog post for pics), to some absolutely gorgeous weddings this past year, it's been a blast. I'm grateful for the beautiful clients that get in touch and trust me with their important events. It means the world to me. And so, I'm looking forward to 2025, more fun, more events and a chance to meet you! Please get in touch as I'm booking Spring/Summer weddings and events now. I will leave you with a view from my DJ Booth. These two fun clips are from Halloween and the year end Holiday Party at Ethyl's on the upper east side where I do a few guest spots every month, spinning a lot of fun retro (Studio 54) and pop hits. The third video is a snapshot compilation of a few cool events over the past year or so Happy New Year everyone, and all the best for 2025!!! I headed back to Rhode Island to join Jay Leno, and DJ the Audrain Museum annual Gala again this year. The theme this time was 80s Prom! I have to say, this was the first time I've ever decked myself out in pink, or as the running line for the night was 'Pretty In Pink'. It was a lot of fun taking this crowd on a journey through the best 80s, and the dancing went on for hours and hours. The outfits were pretty fabulous as well, and once again, a lot of money was raised for this awesome car museum. This year, I fell in love with an old T Bird. I could SO see myself driving that baby. Just sayin' 🥰
I made a fun pop Spotify Playlist for the cocktail hour, have a listen: 80's Prom Cocktails They say every picture tells a story, so here's a few snaps from the evening. #TBT, Little story: April 2005, I was asked by the Guggenheim to DJ an event, and I thought it was to be a cocktail party. I had previously DJ-ed a massive Gala for the Guggenheim at the Four Seasons (which was a who's who of the art and entertainment world), so I was on their radar as a trusted DJ who could rock an event for them. However what I found out when I got to the museum for soundcheck, was that I was setup as an installation as well as the art, on a huge stage in the rotunda. There was a line of some of the coolest art lovers (from all over the world) going all the way down Fifth Avenue, waiting to get into the debut of First Fridays. I was jaw dropped!!! Full page ad in the Village Voice and featured in just about every newspaper that week. Who knew! The night was a huge success and the museum was packed wall to wall. Moving forward over the years, #FirstFridays became one of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's biggest success stories. I'm thrilled that I was chosen to DJ the first ever First Friday to kick it all off. Here's a few images. Thomas Simon
