Propositioned at a Bar???
- Thread starter Capital Disc Jockeys
- Start date
I take it as a compliment and politely pass since I'm about 20 years or more their senior.
I do get quite a few "cheek squeezin's" though when I turn around and head back into the booth after checking for their requests.
And the tips aren't bad either.
Show me the Money!
This thread kinda reminds me of the closet scene in the movie "Roadhouse"
ps. If I were still single.....I'd hit on Carolyn too.

And you call yourself A DJ
Hey, I can't concentrate with the blood flowing AWAY from my brain...:sqerr:
This happens to me EVERY FRICKEN WEEKEND. By the same girls/women, and by complete strangers. I started working left handed just so my wedding band is more apparent.
What makes it worse for me is my live video stream. Who knows if my wife is watching, or if she's really going to know what's happening when it happens because of the camera angles? We had to elect a policy of "Wife is no longer allowed to watch" after one over the top evening.
It was 12:45 and this one girl had sang 3 times already. We were in our long rotation of the evening(Did I mention this is karaoke?) The long rotation happens in most karaoke shows around 10pm-1am as the rush of johhny come latelys finally show up.
This long rotation was about 15-20 persons long. Not terribly long (i've seen one's as long as 35+) but you figure 3 minutes a song, at least an hour between your turns. This girl was getting drunker by the minute, and more onry every time she stepped up askin "When am I going to be next?"
This wasn't even a good day. Our computers were hosed with a dead boot drive when I came in at 5pm. I was running my rotation manually, and the show was run from CDG's and paper slips instead of PC. I was doing this *WHILE* the PC was finishing up it's install.
So this is the girls 4th time up asking me when she get's to go next. I politely try and explain rotation to her when she goes "I'll do anything to go next" and starts swinging her cleavage back and forth like a pendulum. "Nah that's ok, just wait" I tell her.
She gives me a pout, then pulls down her shirt, lifts up her bra and 2 firm little breasts pop out. Now before anyone asks "Why didn't you run away toqer?", let me explain my booth.
It's cramped
There's only one exit
She was blocking it
Behind her were about a 1/2 dozen guys with dollar bills in thier hands blocking my exit.
My mind raced to my wife and the camera pointed coldly at my stage. "Good god I hope she's not watching!" I put my hands up in the air, and started trying to crawl backwards into the corner that is my booth. Somehow I had thought that maybe if I just kept my hands where she could see them, my wife wouldn't be so angry at me later.
I kept my hands high up in the air, not realizing on cam it looked like I was in celibration mode or something. Like, "Hallilughia! God has given me boobies! Praise the lord for mammories!". I think next time i'll just curl up in a fetal position and suck my thumb.
The bouncer was near the stage so I told him to get her out of here. I cued up my next singer and went for a smoke. I saw that girl puking her guts outside. A regular named monkey comes up to me.. "Toq, one of the folks watching on the internet just called. They said your wife's in the chatroom saying she's going to kill your cat or something". My heart sank realizing that the worst possible outcome of this was starting to unfurl.
"Hello?" I nervously answered.
"Toq, this is connie from chat, your wife was just in here and was goin kind of crazy"
"I'll deal with it later, I got a broken PC to fix and a show to run." The show must go on is my motto. Either that or KARAOKE IS HARDCORE!!!
Windows finished installing about 10 minutes later, and 10 minutes after that I had winamp installed and everything ready to go. I quickly transferred the mess of paper tickets in front of me into the PC. When I was finished with that I fired up the chat client and connected to our chat room.
YOU MUTHER F****ER
CAT DEAD
PC IN SHOWER
BURNED YOUR CLOTHES
Were the first messages I saw in there. I sat back for a minute as some of the chat folks tried to calm her down. Think of it this way.. If I decide i'm going to flash you, can you stop me? I mean, honestly, if you wanted to flash anyone, is there any way they could stop you?
Mrs T didn't realize that. She kept on and on. The chat screen is on the same screen as the CDG lyrics, so the entire room got to see her tirade. We finally had to kickban her from the room to save myself some embarassment.
I came home to baby books in the toilet, marridge license ripped in 4 pieces, wedding glass/china broken all over my computer desk and keyboard, "YOU DID THIS or THIS IS YOUR FAULT" scribbled on everything and one steaming mad wife. We fought nearly all night long. In the end she realized she had acted completely psycho(and a long while later I found out some hard dirt on my wife that completely exhonerated me). 3 years later, things are good now.
Alcohol makes people lose inhibition. When you work/play in an enviroment with alcohol, any outcome should come as no surprise to you. I've seen girls giving oral sex in the parking lot, bathrooms, alleyways around my place countless times in the 6 years i've worked there. I've seen folks straight having sex. Gays, straights, you name it i've seen it.
I keep a straight head while I work for just that reason. I drink rockstar energy drinks all night (2 make me sleep at 2am, 3 make me sleep at 5-6am). I don't need any distractions from work, and who needs a DUI anyways?
Heh getting kind of off topicy here.
Yah, i've been propositioned before. I've been offered every sex act imaginable by every kind of girl imagable. I've been told "Want a blowjob?" to "I'll f*** your brains out if you come home with me tonight" I've been offered by the hottest chicks I can think of to the ugliest trolls imaginable.
Ok here's something to think about.. How many of you married guys wear your wedding band at work/gigs? I do.. It never comes off.
Why does it seem like a lot of these skanks just don't care that you're married? How come so many of them see a ring as an invitation instead of a "NO TRESSPASSING" sign? I had a girl wanting me to kiss her this weekend, I boldly held my wedding ring up and said "My wife wouldn't like that" and she boldly heald hers up saying "Neither would spouse but they don't have to know" This chick was hot, I mean really hot if you like young asian girls. 23, maybe 110lbs, 5'4". I certainly wasn't turning her down because she was ugly.
Always the pretty ones isn't it? Always the pretty ones...

If your wife doesn't trust you more than it sounds, you need HELP!
Either lose the Karaoke bit or lose the wife.
Sorry that sounds so cold but you two have some serious issues to work out.
to much Alcohol=Stupidity
I've been in this business for almost 30 years. Doing DJ work, KJ work and working with some big name bands running sound for front of house.
You can just imagine the sex, drugs an rock-n-roll groupies that run around these gigs.
So you got a boob shot. Once you've seen a few dozen, they all look the same. Smile politely and move on. If they get outta hand, have a bouncer take her outside to cool off. Just be professional at all times.
And....Yes! I wear my ring all the time. I still get Flashed, Butt squeezed, Propositioned to go home and such. I pocket my tips at the end and head home. Tell the misses how the night went and we laugh about how some people act and call it a night.
If it's that much of a problem for her, have her be your personal bouncer at the booth. Then she can steer clear the riff-raff. (and get hit on by the guys).....But's thats another thread.

Great post Scott, I too have been in the bizz for 23 yrs(geesh). I have been faithful for every minute of my 13 yrs of marriage. I think that being flirtatious comes with the job description. Where there is real love, there is no room for jealousy. I would NEVER do anything to hurt the absolute best thing in my life-my wife. Temptation has never been an issue with me. It happens at weddings & parties as well as bars & nightclubs. Our extraverted personalities are part of the DJ package. I find it hard to believe how an intraverted person can be successful in the MOBILE bizz. Maybe they can!?!!
I will say that if my wife ever let me know that what I do was a problem with her, I wouldn't hesitate to give up this DJ gig in a heartbeat. But, she knows the passion that I have for dj-ing and she supports it 100%. Now, if you(referring to anyone), on the other hand are not strong enough to keep your paws off of even if your little one thinks for your big one; get away-far away...thx

I never let the little head rule the big head. I've seen too many people get into trouble like that.
My ex-partner was that type. Every wedding we worked he comment on how hot some of the women were. I reminded him of why we were there. In the end I canned our partnership because I was afraid he'd get the company into legal problems because he kept hitting on every woman he saw and treating every open bar as if it were his.

It's something that is just a natural phenomenon in our business. We're the most high profile personality the patrons come into contact with, so that gives the customer the "right" to be friendly. It's our job to make the contact with that patron pleasant and turn it into a plus for the bar/club.
How you go about doing that is the key. Ever considered buying them or their whole entourage a drink? How about buying that person a club or bar t-shirt? That way you can tell them they can tell their friends where they party. It may just have nice residual effects for you as the DJ/KJ.
It's all about turning the buck into a gold mine for the owner, by bringing the customers back in week after week.
You want a perfect example/case in point?
In October 2005, I took over DJ duties for a club that was starting to make some noise in this market. Granted, it had some extremely stiff competition just down the street and in the downtown area from established venues. When I started working at the now famous Red Rooster Ultra Saloon here in Winston Salem, the owner was doing a small amount of radio, and word of mouth. We were turning an average door of 300 on Friday nights (ladies nights with $3 sex on the beach featured) and about 375 to 400 on Saturday nights. (no drink specials yet)
To give you a little background, I am considered to be one of the BIG GUNS in this market when it comes nightclubs. I have built and/or installed just about every club sound and lighting system in this town that exists today. I have also taken every club I have ever DJ'd for to the next level in sales.
Within a month of my taking over the DJ duties, the door receipts went from and average of 350 on Friday's to 600, and Saturday nights went from an average of 350 to well over 1000. Saturday nights started being a money maker for us because of the 1,2,3 drink special we started promoting after I took over. ($1 dollar Miller Lites/$2 house shots/$3 House mixed drinks)

I've never been hit on at a gig, but I met my girlfriend at one. Well kinda.
I had known her for a really long time as friends, we worked together over the summer, we went to school together. So I was DJ'ing at a Carnival and she just got out of a very bad relationship and she came and sat down at my booth. We were talking for a while and we got more 'comfortable' with eachother (lets just say Autoseg was my friend that night) and I called her up the next day and asked her out.
Going on 10 months next week.

OK you two (cbarron and Ace) - consider this official notice that both of you have been warned about your behavior. If you have to resort to this kind communication, do it in private so the rest of us don't have to read your crap - Oh and thanks for hijacking the thread.
I don't think they'll ever let me be a mod here.
I'm not cool nuff.
Big A, the reason you will never be a moderator here is because you wear your headphones upside down ( :toothy12: ) ...thx
Yup, everyone knows ( 'cepting me, of course
) that the accepted pose is one hand holding one cup of the headphone to one ear of a head slightly tilted in the direction of the aforesaid ear cup while the other hand is busily diddling with your equipment....
