Local DJs Celebrate 5-year Anniversary
Co-op scrambles to plan celebration as Hunnicutt fumes

Local ham DJ Co-op had a great deal of explaining to do after he forgot about his five-year anniversary of throwing parties with DJ Hunnicutt.

The DJs, who were recently named Winnipeg's favourite for the fourth year in a row in Uptown Magazine were at a cocktail party with a group of other DJs when someone asked Co-op when his anniversary of throwing parties with Hunnicutt is. Co-op was reported to have replied, "What."

He now claims he was only joking and knew all along that Saturday, June 9th will be five years since the duo threw their first dance party, "Doin' the Do!"

Hunnicutt, however did not find the joke funny and stormed out of the room, only to be found later locked in the bathroom sobbing.

"It's like... he can just be soooo insensitive sometimes," sniffed Hunnicutt, "I've been dropping hints to him all year that this date was coming up!" Adding he was hoping Co-op would have planned something special on his own.

"I hate having to do all the work."

Co-op maintains he did have something planned all along and showed up at Hunnicutt's office the next day with a flyer for their 5th anniversary party, "Doin' the Do 2: Electric Boogaloo," Saturday, June 9th at the Pyramid Cabaret.

"I've had the poster done for weeks, I just wanted it to be surprise," maintained Co-op in a radio interview the following day. However, he was spotted at the 24-hour Staples Copy Centre the night before with a panicked look on his face.

Hunnicutt found the gesture sweet, but was upset again when he noticed that Co-op got the date wrong. With a resigned sigh he said he'd fix the posters adding, "I could have done a better job anyways."

This set Co-op off, "Well then why the fuck didn't you?!" He then mumbled something about perhaps Hunnicutt was running around with other DJs, adding, "I've seen the way Mama Cutsworth looks at you!"

Hunnicutt turned beet-red and told Co-op in no uncertain terms that was a low blow and said, "Well, Co-op, why don't you explain to the listeners why you're always running off to Saskatoon with DJ RPG!?!"

Co-op then left the studio in the middle of a mix, leaving Hunnicutt to finish the set. As he left, Hunnicutt yelled, "That's right, just walk away like you always do!"

Later that night, Co-op called the radio station to apologize, pleading with the host to put Hunnicutt on.

"He doesn't want to talk to you," said the host.

"He says he wants you to come over and pick up your slipmats and the rest of your gear."

Neither DJ was unavailable for comment, but the two were spotted at the Pyramid on Thursday night where Co-op was heard to say, "Look at DJ Chico and The Invisible Man, why can't we be a normal DJ couple like them!"
