    Not scheduling any meetings and working over time next week

    Lately I have been working 6:30 pm to 5 am. I actually enjoy working the night shift. I get a lot done working at my own pace. I come home and go right to bed. Zonked out by about 5:50 am. I am actually getting MORE SLEEP than on my previous weekend 6 am to 6:30 pm shift. I am just sleeping...

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    Mix, I told you in previous threads to get the Harbinger MLS 1000 system. Would have eliminated stands so nobody has to see your speakers on junk stands, and are more than enough speaker for the events that you do. If you had to have conventional cabinets, then I said to get Harbinger 3400...

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    You are an impulse buyer Mix. You did not need QSC K12.2 Speakers for the types of events you do. You just are compelled to buy things you don't need. Always going with the overkill option. For the events you do, you had no reason to spend over $1,000 on speakers. You also have no need for...

    I just ordered some new speakers.

    No, you should just find a woman that doesn't base your entire relationship on a freaking Rock! I know people who spent way way more than they can afford on a Diamond Engagement Ring, and I will tell them that they were unfortunately brain washed into doing so, and buying that ring was stupid...

    He should have bought her Silver instead of Gold, and got a very small diamond in there. Under $500. If she truly loves him the type of ring and how much money he spent on it won't matter! If she leaves him over the cheapness in the ring, then I say he dodged a bullet...Would have ended in...

    Backup equipment

    I agree. They had a chance to legislate some sort of regulation on the cost of college and universities. They could have limited these student loans and made the whole situation more logical. It is too late for all of that though. Crony Capitalism won out on that front in education, and now we...

    I agree on some

    This was a long thread to read, but I will chime in about the age comment, and not being relevant any more starting around age 50 when it comes to weddings. I agree with that for the most part. I actually am planning on my last year being 2032/2033. After that, I might do the occasional gig...

    What are your thoughts on Yorkville NX 25 12" speakers?

    I have not listened to them, but judging from the looks, and the fact that it has a Class B amp and only 300 watt power handling, they are certainly an older model. The weight is not bad. 39 lbs per speaker is much lighter than your Yamahas were. I would recommend the newer Harbinger 3412...

    Well a good reason to understand social media

    Did you get any traction from that bridal show that you did? Personally, I never had any success with facebook. I stopped bothering with paying them money in 2022. I DO see your facebook ads from time to time pop up on FB. But, I'm a DJ in Maryland, LOL. I suspect I see your ad come on...

    Looks like my van was stolen.

    Mix, Sorry to hear this happened to you. My sister had her Ford Explorer stolen like 2.5 years ago. They found her EZ Pass down in TEXAS! It was stolen from Maryland. The Vehicle was never found. She had a big ordeal with getting the police reports to the insurance company. THe car was...

    Playlist & Game ideas for overnight teen lockin

    I did a After Prom event like that way in the past. I had trouble staying awake for the drive home. I was barking to stay awake! LOL. I haven't done one of those since like 2007or 2008. I vowed never to do one again. I just can't function correctly after 3 am. Even back then. I wouldn't want...

    Community dance

    I agree. I mean after you have been here reading the forums and participating for 8+ years it gets old. We have covered pretty much everything there is to cover. Most of the same stuff are re-iterated, and the pool of DJs who participate here is rather low so it's the same people, and for the...

    Playlist for a daddy-daughter dance?

    Any poplar songs by Taylor Swift they will probably love.

    How often do you wash your car or take it to the car wash?

    You need to drive it more often! Get out and enjoy the car! Don't care about having low mileage. The longer you live, the less time you have left to enjoy it!

    How often do you wash your car or take it to the car wash?

    I will go 3-4 days of use on jeans these days unless I get black dirt or food on them. Teeth are brushed twice a day, and flossed often 3 times a day :) My dentist always tells me that my teeth are in great shape.
