nothing too serious…first time playing out in a long time…and i forgot that everyone wants to be a DJ and knows exactly how to program four hours of music covering 3 decades…
the owner spiffed me an extra hundo for putting up with his wife and her drunk ass friends…
i know realize why i quit doing it…well for those kinds of crowds…this was just a warm up for the equipment (myself included) for something bigger and deep house oriented…
any horror stories from last night anyone?
i was stuck between the younger girls that wanted to hear rap and the older C’s that just wanted to hear 80’s…jeezzus…i almost hit stop when some C said “can you play some beastie boys?”…i said “i just played hey ladies ONE record ago”…“oh you did?”…
Omg a was batting off requests all night. Also I spilt beer on my vci (can’t blame anyone else I’m afraid). Cue button stopped working and I had to map a button on my lappt keyboard. Left my vci at a mates after party last nights haven’t had a chance to see if it has dried out and fixed itself.
Due to a change in plans, I stayed home quite pissed that I wouldn’t be out having a fun time with friends. So I played to myself, and managed to cheer myself up completely after building up to a blissful “Big Fun” at midnight.
Haha, as far as requests go, I took my kit over to my friend’s place who has finally realized that dubstep can be good music… Set everything up, jamming for some friends, and my buddy just kept on asking when he was gonna hear some Borgore, even though I had played some earlier and was even playing Excision and Datsik (not my favourite kind of dubstep but in low doses it can be good)… then he wanted me to play upbeat stuff AND more Borgore… Felt kinda like a glorified iPod… oh the things you do for friends, if he weren’t like a brother to me I wouldn’t have put up with it lol.
yeah last night was kinda a bitch. showed up to the bar i was playing at expecting to play some classic rock and then switch into newer music (top 40 shit) untill midnight when i was gonna drop a bomb on em. but no one showed and i got harassed by the owners daughter who was drinking at the bar that i wasnt playing “Party music” and thats why no one was tehre.
thank god i upped my rate b/c it was nye and made sure i got really drunk because they closed early and i still got paid. so i guess in the long run it wasnt such a bad night after all cause i get my APC 40 tomm because of that bullshit
Or better yet… “now…do I come to your job and tell you how to swing on that pole???”
Cant tell you how obnoxiuos this is beginning to be with me…and I dont even really do “parties”. Guess you gotta pay your dues (years of them) to be able to have the clout to play what is truely your art.
