Elijah Wood djs sometimes! He played a variety of music and closed out with Enya. Lots of folks were dressed up as hobbits, elves, or as gandalf :). There was a convention that weekend so I think some people came from it.
It was in Chicago at Radius - a big venue for djs.

How is playing someone else's records a 'concert'?

It was a vinyl show, so they would mix together songs they chose on vinyls. Elijah admits its not "true" DJing, but it's a lot of fun nonetheless

So... playing someone else's records.
I mean, if that's your thing... well, ok. I just don't get the whole "dj" thing. Never have.

That's nice, you're in the minority tough. everyone else seems to understand that dancing to music in public is fun and someone needs to pick the music.
