Yup -- got a few interesting ones...

And I also did most of the human resources staff after I gigged the big company Christmas party -- and yes, they were all women, and hot too :sqcool:

Sorry -- I was a slut, no excuses... :sqembarrassed:


On the bright side -- they always hired whoever I wanted (usually more hot chicks) :)



I guess I'm paying my penance now in Purgatory... :sqerr: :sqlaugh:

Dear Penthouse..........:rofl:
 
I don't know if it was a strange tip, but it kinda pissed me off.


I had met with a bride and groom and they tried their best to haggle me down on price.
Then their mother did. ugh.....
THen they pigeonholed me with a playlist at the last week of planning. I don't quit gigs ever, but this is one I may have passed on just with the stipulation of a playlist.

Did I mention the reception was in a basement? An 8000 sq. ft. basement.

THIS HOUSE WAS HUGE.

There was no lack of money anywhere. Guests were decked and the catering was super elegant.

Halfway through the gig, they told me to do my own thing. Apparently, their playslist wasn't working....duh.....

At the end of the night, they haggled AGAIN on price.

Finally they produced a check for me and said I was the best DJ ever...yada yada yada.

Then the tip came. A frickin' Centerpiece.

Actually, I'm grateful for all tips and the jobs I receive. My daughter loved the flowers....

but please for the love of God, stop acting like you are doing me a favor by gracing me with your rich, snobby, brow beatin' lifestyle.
 
Honestly,
I have more outrageous ones than can be listed here. Most if mentioned would lead to my banning.
 
Nothing new to add, but I've ben given food, center pieces, wedding favors and a nice bottle of tequila.

And possible jail time :rofl:
 
After a wedding a couple of years ago we were given sapling spruce trees that were left over. The B&G gave 'em to the guests as favors. They come in little plastic tubes and you plant them. We set them out in potting soil but they didn't survive. I'm guessing they had set too long somewhere and dried out.

Was booked at a birthday party at the VFW one night and no one showed. It was snowing pretty bad and the client really should have cancelled but they didn't. The forecast had been calling for snow and ice all day.

Client gave me the OK to tear down and load out and offered to pay me. I shrugged it off and said don't sweat it. They were regulars anyway. So they loaded the seat of my truck with all kinds of grub. Fried chicken, BBQ ribs, coleslaw and cake. I didn't have to buy groceries for a while after that. :)

Did a backyard party for some folks and was set up in the garage. They had a big wood burning stove in there they didn't use anymore and asked me if I wanted it. :D
