Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

That's true. Client confidentiality is important. I'm sure when Rossi tweets pics with him clearly in them with the groom and bride (clients), he has their permission. However, when he is doing it to show he's busy for the time being and is barely getting a shot of the clients, I'm guessing he doesn't have the permission technically but he figures that there's no way they'd complain.

Mike Rossi appears to have unpinned and/or deleted the tweet with a "This" followed by the video based on his dec13 tweet about a movie clip showing someone saying "before this is over I'm going to kill you" followed by "soon" (I think it's the actor Mel Gibson but I am not sure).

It was somewhat rhetorical, but yes, that is my take. I would not be happy. Need to track down some of these couples, as they are being used for someone's own personal agenda and no one wants to be associated on the web into eternity with this liar, cheater and bully.

Such as this

Mike Rossi showed his attitude to the online running community with this video he tweeted from the Untouchables pretending to be Al Capone saying you'll never catch me, "You've got NOTHING! nothing!!!"

Those B-day tweets were a failed attempt at self-promotion, self-validation, and look at me attitude, and it utterly failed. Not one like or retweet, although now that it is again being pointed out, I am sure there will be one by none other than "Look at me Mike."

While the weather has been been fairly mild, something tells me its pretty chilly and cold for Mike at home.

Nice and warm over at Cecily Tynan's:

Oh, now bragging to deaf ears for one his daughter....how special...and making memories at an afternoon wedding. What a family guy.

Ken - how appropriate is it to tweet out pictures of a wedding you are DJ'ing? Seems like you would need or should have permission from the wedding couple or client. Maggio's Restaurant anyone?

Ethically, I don't have an opinion. If he wants to claim that playing music makes him the guy creating memories then so be it. I guess there are couples who will read the tweets and fall for the elf-promotion.

But after filming 600 weddings and DJing 100, my experience is that the family and friends create the memories on a wedding day. I just capture it on film. And when I DJ I don't inject myself into the day. I don't take selfies and post them all over my Twitter and FB page. Occasionally, I see couples that I have worked with before and have become friends with and I we get a picture or two.

And the worst is when a DJ has to scream out in between songs to get your hands in the air or clap along to a song, like they are playing Simon Says with a bunch of kindergartners. And every guest in the room os rolling their yes when they turn a 3 minute part and bouquet toss into a 15 minute comedy routine.

These are all Mike Rossi traits at weddings. This is the BS they used to do in the 70's and 80's, like Jerry Blavat (The Geator with the Heater), whom everybody considers cheesy and out-of-date.

I am FB friends with all the best DJ's in the area (I don't FB friend shit wedding vendors), as well as the owners of all the big companies, and none of them do this cheesy crap. They play music. They make professional announcements. In some cases they have to run the party because the hall manager is a slouch. But they NEVER try and become the center of attention.

It's the bride's day. Not the DJ's.

Agreed that it's the bride's day. He is there to capture it or enhance it through music, not try to be center of the attention. He needs to be invisible. What an egomaniac. More self-validation failure.

I don't think he should be tweeting out pics of people there without their permission, plus its tacky and it is not his day.

There is another thread that was started this afternoon by some guy claiming he saw Rossi run a 19 5k in practice. In reality, the guy is a troll as he's posting from British Columbia. I likely will delete the other thread or merge it into this one so be forewarned.

Other thread is here:

Can I just that wedding vendor services is women's work?

1. You are an unhealthy fat guy posting on a hardcore running forum. You are looked down upon.

2. Mike has 12 years of marriage and you have a failed one.

3. You are mad cause he thinks he's better than you so you've set out to prove you are better than him with 30 tweets in 3 hours about his work.

You and Mike lose.

I hate to admit it, but yes that thread belongs here. Feel free to merge so we can have a crack at it.

Rossi is ripping 19min 5K repeats??????????? UH-OH

Yes don't you recall his 5 Miles at 5K pace workouts ? He's just taken it to the next logical step as LieRunnr will no doubt confirm.

Looks like Rossi is BALLER, his clients LOVE him, and he has running TALENT

at least that is what it looks like

A failed marriage is just a failed relationship with paperwork involved. Name me a single person that hasn't broken up with a woman. Same difference.

But what is important is that my son goes to a private catholic high school, is in all honor classes, and made first honors on his most recent report card. That means all A's in the hardest classes he can take. I;m very proud of him.

Mike has to disguise himself to show up at school functions and sit in the back row at the school Christmas show. Mike wins.
