    Default First Gig in 3 Days..

    Just wondering if you guys have any information to help me rock this gig.

    Its at The univeristy of Western. It is a St Patty's day kegger.. theres 15 kegs, 15 60's and its sponsered by redbull.

    Apprently its going to be HUGE! 2 - 300 ppl apprx.

    Anybody have any tips to make your show a huge success??

    its me and another guy mixing for about an hour were working on a large pre-set mix.. just of alot of random top 40.. and one hit wonders to play b4 we come on and spin electro

    were thinking of getting a megaphone or 2 to get the crowd going.

    Any suggestions?

    Hire gogo dancers. If you can't afford proper gogo dancers, hire hookers; just as long as they just dance, it's perfectly legal and I'm sure they'll be grateful that they aren't spending their night on their backs.

    i'm SO FUCKING ENVIOUS! i have yet to get a gig... i could possibly be getting one at a nightclub or two here in frisco, but it's taking forever to materialize! so frustrating.

    you'll rock it for sure though, man. might i suggest playing a few good 90's hip hop songs, maybe some jurassic 5 that everyone knows, maybe some tribe called quest? not sure what you had in mind for the pre-set mix. 90's music and disco usually make people happy.

    try to have as much different tracks as possible so you can test the crowd what makes it go wild!

    and just have fun, nobody likes the man in front to be totally serious...
