Techno DJ seeks to hire web designer to relaunch one wicked site in 2006. Must write standards-compliant code. If interested, please email samples of your work to at amber(at)iamthedj(dot)com.
I want to thank Nick Winterhalter, an awesome and thoughtful guy, for originally acquiring iamthedj.com for me in 2000 and for his many years of hard work on the site. The different site designs and features have received many positive comments, especially the built-in media player that controls my CD releases. It is not too much to say that Nick's efforts have been absolutely critical in my success over the past few years. More importantly, he is a gangload of fun and looks great in a puffy shirt. And at the end of the day, isn't that what matters?

From Shejay:
"This is an urgent message to alert our female artists about about a man / person who is conacting DJs on our artists pages asking them to play for his son's birthday party."
"Please do not pursue this --- it is a SCAM."
"Various DJs have been contacted by someone named Larry Gbabs (and possibly another alias) offering a large booking fee and asking for their contact details and addresses for which he says is to send a money order to. Shejay does not know anyone by this name, and we strongly believe it to be a threat, so please DO NOT give him any details about yourself."
I just got my email from this scammer today. Here's the full text:
