WMC Spring Training Day 4: Kissy Sell Out @ Firestone
March 27, 2008 - Orlando, FL
by Melanie Gapany
The day for Kissy Sell Out must’ve started out rather poorly. For starters, the airline lost Kissy’s luggage. Getting by with nothing but the clothes on his back and some flip-flops on his feet, an undoubtedly annoyed tall lanky man made his way to Firestone. Thankfully, Kissy had his CD’s with him, so the show could go on.
This Thursday began like any other at Firestone. Ge3on was manning the tables upon our arrival, and while this particular Dj is often overlooked, or missed by the fashionably late crowd, he still constantly churns out an incredible set, always starting the night off in high gear, and never ceasing to amaze me. Miss Fit and Justin Scott, formerly Bodywerx, kept it going, getting the floor moving with house favorites and showcasing their emerging, different styles.
Kissy took the stage in his flip-flops, poor guy, wearing sweat shorts and a wife-beater. He looked a little worn, and beaten, a side-effect of being on the road which is, unfortunately an occupational hazard for traveling Dj acts. He still killed it with his high-powered catchy songs, and fed the audience just what they wanted: a myriad of recognizable songs that we could all sing along.
Dancing comes naturally when the music is good, and people seemed lost in movement, covering the dance floor. It was a strange night though, with so much going on in Orlando, the overall turnout for the night could’ve been better, but these things are always win/lose. The people that were there made the best of the night and it was enjoyable, and entertaining.
‘Kissy kills’ was the catchphrase for the day. That Thursday, despite having no typical dj clothes and killer shoes and the pj-clad DJ definitely delivered, Bringing Orlando’s Spring training to a close.
