Putting together a portfolio for a Night Club gig, how's this look?

So there's a Craigslist gig in San Francisco I'll be replying to, they ask for a portfolio but most of my pictures I take at nightclubs are on Facebook. So instead of sending those photos I worked on my website and put together a little post with my best photos. I still need to add a couple of paragraphs in writing to make it feel solid, but I felt these were presentable. I may have one or two photos I could chop off, and I do need to talk about the flyer and the image of mine they used, but that's for later.

As far as layout goes does this look okay? 3 column gallery vertical layout ? I had to make sure the lightbox plugin was working :)

Since i haven't replied to the ad, there's still loads more room for improvement. Got any suggestions?

It's also pretty fun to look at how much I've learned about night time photography. A year and a half ago most of my indoor photos were underexposed grey blobs filled with noise and dull colors, and because I shot in jpeg (RAW FTW) there was only so much I could do to make them appealing. I feel like I've grown soo much :)

Like the logo man! I would say go bolder and use a black background. Grey looks a little indecisive. Then make the background of the content white or something darkish grey to make the content stand out like a box/rectangle under your header. In the content, I would remove the "published..." on the left and push the title to left align. For the pictures, I would run 4 per row with spacing in between (left and right) all center aligned in reference to the whole page. Make sure the spacing is consistent horizontally and vertically. Most of this is what I would have done but its totally up to you. I would say the black background would be my biggest suggestion. Looking good though!
