These folks are the best. They've contributed time, expertise and passion to help a girl turn thirty.
DjSeeDoubleYou
SF skills in a SoCal man with a stumptown soul. Collin is a friend of mine and the brother of my sweetheart. Here's his bio:
After being introduced to the underground, Southern California DJ/EDM/dance/rave scene in the late 90's, DjSeeDoubleYou (a moniker derived from Collin Winn's initials: C.W.) quickly became hooked and fascinated by all things dance music culture. Wasting little time, he decided to put down his trusty guitar and purchase a used mixer and set of Technics turntables, where he'd lock himself in his room until the skill of beat-matching was nearly perfected and his savings account was successfully depleted at some of Hollywood's best vinyl shops.
During his university years as a student and DJ in San Francisco, Collin was shined on to the SF-house music sound, which continues to have a big influence on the kind of music he prefers to spin: sexy, funky, soulful and booty-shakin. Some of his biggest influences and idols from the DJ world are Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Donald Glaude, DJ Dan and Fatboy Slim. A passion and desire for various genres, SeeDoubleYou's sets are willingly adjusted for vibe, atmosphere and crowd-preference. Rest assured, Mr. Winn's set will always bring the fun and the funk to any event.

Velo Cult
Whoever thought up the idea of a bike shop, bar and event space was a genius.
My Treintañera Court
Following suit with quinceañera tradition, I've asked a few of my close girlfriends to be on my treintañera court. They're helping out with planning and girly times and such. Ask them questions about the party if I'm not around: Megan S, Emily G, Erin F, Mari N, Emily P and Jacqui S.
Special thanks to Emily G for her beautiful photos, and to Meghan S for connecting me with the event space. By the way, Meghan also has a bunch of resources for folks new to biking in Portland.
