So be sure to give yourself nights off, relaxation, vegetation time, just to read, or watch movies, or be with friends. Make sure you set aside time for your, without the DJing aspect.
Also, I can't help but reiterate what jasonj said. Make sure you're having fun when you're doing it. It looks good to the crowd and, well, it means you're having fun.
So yeah, enjoy yourself, rock out, but make sure you have time for you. This stuff will eat you alive.
