Jeezzzzz.... this was THE LONGEST party I ever did since 1991. Thank God I had a roadie.
I will tell you what though..... I rocked that house better than just about any party "I" ever DJ'd before... and probably better than almost any DJ I ever saw at a wedding! I'm telling you, I kicked butt like I don't know what! I was so damn pumped!
I had my brother taking pictures and some video... I hope to have both available soon for you.
We started with 75 people at 4PM..... We ended with 45 at 11PM.
I did have one major concern.... I somehow lost my copy of "It's Raining Men"... I must have had 15 requests for it... I told one lady that I didn't have it, and I guess she didn't believe me, because 10 minutes after that her husband asked me for it... and tried to give me $20!
That was another weird thing. About 5x tonight people tried to tip me to play their requests. I did not accept them, though I did find $5 someone left for me....
3 hours of OT.... $100 an hour, and an $85 tip......
It was awesome! I'm pumped! But I am also wiped beyond belief..... Tomorrow is going to be VERY HARD.... Standing for 7+ hours was not easy at all.... And the funny part was that my "roadie" - my brother - grabbed a chair. I had to tell him that he could not sit down.... he wasn't real thrilled with me!
I was was so excited that when the caterer brought me a huge plate of food I barely noticed ... at the end of the night I hadn't eaten a single thing other than the dinner roll...
Hope the video and pictures came out well...
I will try to post a playlist.... but a few songs that just ripped it up, were:
Brass Monkey? Damn! I need to play that more often!
Gasolina
I Want Candy..... people EXPLODED onto the floor....
Barbie Girl and Saftey Dance..... Bride and Groom requests.
... and Papa Don't Preach???? That may have been something personal.... the Bride's dad was a no show, and the bride had a baby out of wedlock. It still packed the floor, so I'll take it whatever the reason!
