Turned down some gigs through through the multi op I contract for but am renting my system (s) to them 
New Year Eve, What ya got?
- Thread starter JJDJ
- Start date
I can't remember the last time I did a NYE gig- for the umteenth year in a row I'll be providing the sound from 10 AM till 1 PM on Jan 1 for Hospitality Village at the Outback Bowl.
This usually takes 2 days to set up so my equipment is already committed there on NYE (speakers are on scaffolding and all wires & cables in public areas must be buried), and has a crowd of around 5K, but this year it is about half the size which means a lot less work and unfortunately less money.

I stand corrected!...My client contacted me today & told me that they sold out...over 400 guests expected this year. I better bring the big guns (ZXA5s)
You better rent some more firepower!:triwink: What are the components in the system you are planning on using?
tell her you know a great way to celebrate your anniversary...
(one where you can party AND make money)
otherwise, shut yer yap!
you chose the date when you married her!
(okay, being married 20+ years I realize you may not have had a lot of SAY in the matter...)
There are two flaws in your strategy:
1) I am a male, of European descent, living in America
2) I, unashamedly and without reservation, fear my wife
:trirolleyes:
I got nothing for NYE -- but I plan on getting some Chinc food delivered, washing it down with a 1.75 liter of eggnog, while listening to a new set of tubes, and then passing out around 9pm or so...
ditto for me on BOTH counts
except I was smart enough to NOT get married on the best money-making day of the year!

I'll be at my lodge.
I'm taking the gear in tomorrow and setting up.
Friday I'll start for the dinner crowd around 6. Mostly dinner music on auto play. I'll start my count down from the 40's then.
The official NYE pot luck starts at 8:00 I figure I'll be in the 70's by then.
At nine I will do my Elks Year in Review Slide Show. By 11 I should be in the 21st century.
The countdown will start at 11:59.
I'll knock off at 2:00 AM.

I got my local bar less than a mile from home.I host karaoke there Tuesday's my friend is the regular Friday DJ, he will be out of town for a wedding. So, I'm filling in. Probably won't get paid any extra, but it's better than not working
Don't everyone gag at once, but my regular Friday gig is doing my Karaoke at a local pub. So that is where I am going to be with lots of friends and family! Our motto is Dress up or dress down, the cheapest, partying place in town! The best deal is that it is 5 minutes away from home! Have a safe and blessed New Year everyone - My New Years resolution is to spend more money on my DJ business than my 17 year old this year - LOL!!!:tritongue:
Using my subs with the ZXA5s, Considering most of the guests are 40+ this isn't a "club" type of crowd.
