Open House Party On Youtube Idea(Dj!)

Dj, may I suggest for the people who can't make it that you post a live video stream on YouTube. You can using the google hangout trick. That will allow us to hear and see fairly fluently. The live stream cameras don't have audio and lag a fair bit. Set up a webcam and start a live stream on YouTube!
