From: mr bill (whtanksl@hamlet.uncg.edu) OK, I suppose I'm more of a lurker, but I'll post a bio nonetheless, I think this is a great idea BTW... Name: DJ Mr. Bill / Bill Tanksley Occupation: DJ of seven years, college student (UNC-Greensboro) Description: oh, about 5'6" tall. 135 pounds. very short brown hair, big blue eyes. What I do: Well, North Carolina is a big college state, so that explains why we have such a strong scene here (there's lots of people in the 18-25 age group). During the week I stay busy with school, I'm taking 18 semester hours this fall. On Thursday nights I DJ at my resident spot, "Lift". It's more of an intimate club, not very big, but that's a nice contrast to the other NC clubs, where you're lucky to see the DJ's silouette 2 floors above you. On Fridays I either spin at Babylon (my other regular spot & our hottest club), or out-of-town. Saturdays are usually out-of-town gigs as well. In upcoming weeks I'll be in Tampa (Florida), Salt Lake City, Baltimore, Atlanta and here in N.C. Also, I'll be spinning a HUGE local party with Funky Techno Tribe on October 7th, and we're having the Wicked posse host a party here on October 27th at Babylon. Why am I on SFRaves?: Good question. I started subscribing to this list last summer. I came out there to do a few gigs, and wanted to get a feel for the scene, which is very different in some ways than on the east coast. Thus, after all these months, I'm still on the list, as well as SE-RAVES, FL-RAVES (Florida), MW-RAVES & DC-RAVES. Hobbies/Interests: "Sightings" on Fox; Schlitz Malt Liquor in the new 20 oz. bottle; my girlfrind Devina; wasting time on the 'net; getting my groove on; buying records until I'm broke; Jerry Springer; my cats Chelsea and Athena; cleaning my apartment (not really a hobby, but I'm a clean-freak); shopping; playing good mix tapes in my car and taking the long way home; getting the DJ's together for a nice meal out before a really good party; mailing out tapes (it never ends!)
