1st Mobile Gig Checklist, am I missing anything?
I’ve only ever dj’d clubs and I’m doing a friends party this week, so far I’ve got sorted
Macbook
VCI
Laptop Stand
Turntables
Audio4
Timecodes x4
Multicore cables
Carts & Stylus
Mixer
Headphones
USB cables
RCA Cables
Folding Table
Surge Protector
Extension Lead
Backup records & iPod
My friend has sorted the PA and lights
Anything I could need, that I’ve missed?
Cheers
Black fabric or a tablecloth big enough to cover your folding table to the ground, and tape to secure any cables that may end up tripping someone. I usually have a mic for announcements, too.
yeah and make sure to ask what kind of inputs the PA system has so you got the right connectors
Oh yeh I’ve forgot to list the mic, got that. Tape good call and the fabric, never really thought about that, the table I’ve got is black anyway..
Yeh I’ve checked out the PA and it’s just and RCA connection into the amp, so sorted on that front
Maybe the tablecloth is extra risk? if someone steps on it and your gear falls to the ground…
hmm…Never had that problem. I just think it looks more pro to not see a bunch of cables coiled up or dangling under the table. Plus you can stash your dj bag, jacket, etc. out of sight.
sharpie, pre mixed cd’s?
Good call on the Sharpie! How about business cards?
air horn?
Ahh yes Sharpie and note pads, no business cards as yet, but I suppose I can write on them with sharpies 
whistles!
and maybe get another stand for ur vci if the desk is not in a good hight for ur back.
Bottle of Vodka

Yup! I put a folding table up on cinderblocks to save my back tonight, in fact.
