Following on from last nights gig, an intoxicated 18 yr old threatning me cos i wouldnt play Venga boys Boom boom bloody boom !

 

Then ripping the wiper arm of the back of me van!! :lil devil:

 

Caught him though and when his parents came to pick him up his mum and dad agreed £50 to reimburse me, and not to call the police,

 

So not that bad i suppose

Stairs, or worse, a broken lift..........which means stairs, or a long walk from the car to the room, but definitely a long walk from car to the room, then finding the lift's broken and there are stairs :dan+ju:

Ditto. Also having to negotiate loads of doors (mainly in working mens clubs), which you can't always prop open.

Hows this a worst thing... ???

 

Nik

 

Not being able to go out socialising when all my friends are out partying. Missing key family weekend events (unless I'm DJ'ing at them).

 

Drunks, packing up, dismantling and everything else in between is fine with me. Missing out on a lot of the key things in life that usually fall on a weekend is definetly one of the worst things for me.....

Drunks?

Ignore them for as long as you dare, then,

"Sorry mate - I couldn't hear you above the music. Can I help??"

Worst thing? Well I have two actually....

 

1. Being thought of as a cheesy DJ because of the word 'mobile'

 

and

 

2. Other DJ's that think that they know it all

 

 

Shakermaker Promotions

 

Indie / Rock & Alternative Specialist (But I can cater for everything else too).

Just thought of one, after having it happen Saturday night:

 

When setting up, getting your longest lead out of the bag to find that however much you shake, whip and generally pull the thing, it still refuses to unravel into the beautiful linear mass you want. You have to "go in" and tease and manipulate the mess in your hands into something useable and recogniseable.

 

You look a prat when doing this - I know..........

The Drunk women that hassles you all night to play the one song that will not fit onto your set - ( you know the one the overweight women who has issues) When you do eventually play it ( due to death threats from the 20st partner) she just stands there while the dancefllor clears

i think the fact you have to stop playing when you are haveing a fantastic time is the worst thing.

i just take the rest with a pinch of salt.

regardless of all that we love it. yipppeeeee :bouncy:

Agree with UKH - packing down after a long night.

Getting the gear from teh house to the car.

From the car into the gig.

From the gig into the car.

From the car into the house.

 

I am tired just thinking about it.

 

I need speaker boxes 2" *2" * 2" that will put out 1000watts !
