Drinking While At A Gig

First of all, except for the rare occasion, I don't drink.
So I personally don't even think about it at home, nonetheless at a gig.
There was, however, one instance where I ran into the groom and his guys at the bar...
and there was no way to walk away without offending him, so I did a shot with 'em.
But as Proformance said, DJing "is" a job...and more than likely, you would not drink at your normal 9-to-5.
But if I were a client, and throwing a party, I would certainly not mind if my vendors enjoyed themselves....
and as a DJ, we all know how alcohol can assist our guests into having a good time (or better time).
So I would have to vote for "YES....WITHIN REASON"
 
Hey, I just came back from the liquor store -- got a 1.75 of dark rum, and a 1.75 of vodka. Anybody need support...? xf:D

One of the joys of working at home, is I can sit in my jammies with a beer at 9 am, and talk to my customers -- and they have no clue. I'm just as whacky sober, as I am when drunk or stoned :)


But I will say this:

Certain things I drink, bring out different qualities in me, that would otherwise be inhibited. For example, if I want to write a song, or a limerick or something, I'll have some rum. It brings out a creative thing, that is otherwise hidden by the logical geek in me.
 
There once was a DJ named Ricky,
Who found that white rice was too sticky.
So he put in some sauce,
Gave it a quick toss.
And met a chick at the pool named Nicki.

They came back to the flat,
And played with the cat.
But getting out was a little bit tricky.

See, her husband came home,
While they were alone.
So it turned out to be a bit of a quicky.



See how good rum is... xf:D
 
So you played with Nicki's kitty????? :D:D:D:D:D

I love alcohol threads, gives me a chance to drink a couple beers... xf:D

I got some Clamato (Bud mixed with clam juice and tomato or something). It's pretty good... :)

Rick...my FAVORITE drink! Bloody mary mix (more pepper the better) then add a Boulevard Wheat Beer and a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey and a pickle/olive combo. DELICIOUS!
 
I'm sorta guessing, that some here (the half that aren't lying, or have better drugs than I do), don't have stage fright...

I do.

DJ'ing was never really hard for me, because people don't look at DJs, but it still required some prep for the vocal work for me. Playing in the bands was difficult for me though. I guess it sorta carried over when I made the switch. When you do it every night, it sorta becomes natural, and it doesn't bother you anymore, unless you go overboard.

One night up in New Paltz, we were opening for Soft White Underbelly, and there was some toking going on after we set up and went back out to the trucks to get ready to go on. Came back in with guitar in hand, and a table of folks offered me a beer from their pitcher. They neglected to tell me they had laced the pitcher with half JD.

Took probably 4 or 5 songs, before I was able to actually turn the volume on my guitar on, cause I was so toasted. The rest of the band knew, so they covered for me while I pretended to play -- interesting night, especially when they brought out the blotter... ;)
 
dont get me started!!
 
Ode to Rockit!

I was at the kitchen sink,
when I started to think.
After I'm done cooking,
gonna start looking.
Need a new Dj program,
that won't eat up the ram.
Gonna want support,
if I gotta report.
It's gotta be strong,
if I wanna play it long.
Play songs when people wed,
or to get ny wife in bed.
This is gettin' dumb,
better lay off the Rum.
 
I just went to the fridge, to find some good rum,
Pitiful sh_t, that will leave your hands numb.
I think it's called Rico, or something like that,
I was tempted to get a tattoo of a bat.

But when I thought further, I gave it some pause,
Cause I actually believe, in fat old man Claus.
He rides in sleigh, with a bunch of reindeer,
And when he comes down the chimney, he brings lots of beer.

I don't know where I'm going,
Cause the rum it is good..
So you folks can play,
For the folks on the hood.



What the heck was this thread about anyway...? xf:D
 
Of all my Mother's children,
I love myself the best.
And when my arse is full,
The Devil can have the rest! :sqrofl:
