Last night I helped my friend DJ J J with an event he did in Jersey City, NJ. It was in a Church Hall that I never been in before. I've been there in that building for something else but never that hall. This hall is big. So my friend had to bring some fire power for that room. He brought 2 Mackie 1801 subs and 2 dual 15" powered tops. He bought a pair of EV speakers and had the JBL speakers put in them instead of what was in there when he bought them. The sound was awesome as I knew it would be because I heard the setup before.
The event was about a guy named Charlie Mays that was a political figure in Jersey City and a great track star. He died many years ago and his wife has an event in his honor to give scholarships to seniors going to college. It was a white affair this year. This year as you will see they used white chair covers. He did a great job with the music. This is his 12 year doing this event. He's the only one to do this event since it was formed.
It was a BYOB event. People brought in their own food and drinks. Not sure how many people attended the event but it was a large crowd. I took almost 80 pictures so I could get practice. I offered my services because he needed help with the load in and out since you have to carry the gear down some stairs and then up those stairs. So he needed my help with getting those subs in and out of the hall. He certainly kept thanking me for helping out. That was my job. He played the music the whole time and did a great job. 2 notes. My friend is older then me and still going. The other thing I just found out last night is he hasn't become a computer DJ because he doesn't have a software program to use. He said he would need someone to show him how to work a program. He still uses CD's. He said downloading all the CD's onto a HD wasn't the issue. The problem is him not having a DJ software program to use. I'm going to look to help him out with that.
The music was a great mixture of stuff. At one point he had to play a few Spanish songs as the person hosting the event told him to. He played 4 songs and he knew what would happen. They only danced to the first song and that was it. He was just doing as he was told. I took some pictures in the beginning to show off the room and how big it is. Lastly he did such a nice job that a few people came up requesting a card. You know when that happens you did the damn thing.
