    The night will go by so fast you wont even notice... well as long as your computer doesn't crash. j/k
    Have fun and just do what you do. This is the first step into how you see the world of music.

    stay focused but have fun with it.

    I remember my first couple gigs I made a few minor yet stupid mistakes that wouldn't have happened if I was focusing on the task at hand more. Thankfully the crowd was quite forgiving as it was a very laid back atmosphere, a hipster coffee shop!

    good luck!

    Yo omg I am on cloud fuckin 9 right now, It went great tonight he hired me on as a resident dj for hip hop and old school rnb. I keep everybody dancin a few times people left the floor, but they always came back.

    Only thing that sucked was my external hard drive crashed on me so I lost over 60 gigs worth of hip hop, and my own listening music, really sad i lost all my dj shadow and coheed albums.

    But I didn't run out of music which was good, made some minor stupid mistakes, i forgot to turn the volume fader down when I was cueing lol. But everything was fine.

    But I blew the club owners mind and also the other 2 resident dj's they didn't know what the hell I was doing with ableton, every 5 seconds they were over my shoulder looking at what was going on.

    Finally all my hard work practicing in my room has paid off.

    Thanks for you guys support will have pics up soon.
