| The vacuum cleaner idea sounds good. I like the phrase "more lived vantage point."
Re: equipment. I'm still kind of mulling it over. I'd like to travel as light as possible, so now I'm thinking I might just bring two Disc-men (and/or Rio players, depending on what I find out about that) and CDs/minidiscs.
Most equipment rental places have packages for DJ'ing, where you get a sound mixing board and turntables, an amp and speakers. I could work with any analog mixer, I think; I've never used a CD mixer but I could probably pick it up.
A lot will depend on our budget. We're also talking about needing a Mac and Windows computer. I think Windows XP (which includes Internet Explorer), Winamp 5 and a CD-R drive is all I need to download mp3s and burn them to CD for mixing. The Rio player probably requires a USB port on the computer. Not sure I'm ready for "iPod mixing" but I guess that's the coming thing.
Also a projector and/or screen, and cables from the computer and/or DVD player to the projector.
