I've known cute little Shaun since he was a noobie nooba noob. So when Orson Pfohl asked me to step in and cover his set at The Winchester as a last minute favor I thought to myself, "Self, what sort of songs do you want to play tonight?" Since Shaun used to DJ after Orson (and habitually skipped his sets), I met Shuan at the Win and we've been talking about music a lot lately, I deciede to try and lure Shaun out of his SL hiding by dedicating my set to songs for him. And it worked! He came out for the last half.
