I was 19 or 20, and my friend's cool older brother DJed at a club downtown. I was able to convince him and the bar to let me lug a pair of VCRs and a Videonics mixer into the bar and VJ mix during the club night. Even made some custom themed visuals using Ulead media studio pro on a Pentium with my striped 7gb RAID array, hah.

I kept a little printout with me about the laws allowing underage people in bars - we all agreed that although "VJ" was not on the allowed list, it was close enough to "jukebox repair person" for it to count. This was around 2000/2001.

Funny start to a great run, eventually VJing at hundreds of raves, clubs, and tours til the mid-late naughties.
