2007 Cassette Jockey World Championships
In 2003 at a festival in Chicago, a group of retro-tech geniuses organized The Cassette Jockey World Championships. Like the popular DJ (Disk Jockey) competitions with record-toting DJs showing off their turntable skills, the CJ Championships aimed to transplant their skills and styles to the venerable world of cassettes. Since CJs were encouraged to hot-rod their own equipment, eviscerated boomboxes, disembodied tape heads, and overclocked Walkmans were the weapons of choice--anything that used the standard cassette as its ammo.
The Cassette Jockey Championship was held at Maker Faire in San Mateo in May 2007; stay tuned for future contests!
