So I get to my first gig right and I am all setting up.
First of all. They told me nothing about the sound system or helped me setup. They had a mixer and controller in two inches of area that I had to DJ. I wasnt sure If he wanted me to go through directly or .... whatever. So I am just standing there scratching my head.
I figure it out and start setting up...
BUT THEN!!! This scene kid that looked like he was twelve was like "Hey I play every night and I am supposed to start tonight at 10"
I replied "Okay the manager liked my mixes and asked me to"
Scene Kid -"Well....You were kind of a last minute thing"
--started unplugging my stuff--
Guy in background "hey let that kid play at least a 30 minute set."
Scene kid - "Okay fine...hmmphh"
THE STUPID KID WATCHED ME SET UP AND STOOD BEHIND EVEN AFTER I HAD STARTED UP THE TUNES.
Saw a song on my playlist and was like "Im actually playing that song, Can you not play that one"
"Also you might wanna turn down the bass on your left track"
Me "Uhh okay"
*he knew it was my first show fyi
I FREAKING KILLED IT. Only messed up once.
I get done right then he grabs the mic and says "Round of a applause for the new dj, trying his best." TRYING HIS BEST???
I immediately left right...
Got a text from someone who stayed there.
"Everyone left after you got done. The manager thought you were better. And someone requested that you come back on, and the kid that gave you a hard time got asked to get off."
BAD ASS RIGHT!!!!
STUPID SCENE KID! THE UNDERDOG WINS.
p.s Are show's always that dramatic????
