First "gig"

I guess it's not really a gig in the sense that it's our own party... But yeah, this weekend in front of a pretty decent croud (200+ people). The most I've ever done anything infront of is probably no more than 10 people. Any tips, suggestions, bountiful luck giving?

Oh, and I'll definatly post pictures...

yea tell me about it. I was down at the radio station once, and I had about 1:30 left of the track I was playin, when all a sudden I HAD to go. That 1:30 feels like 3 days when 'nature's a callin'

I remember the first time i played i drank a few drinks before i went on. I just got to a nice tipsy level and i got crazy pumped and did a great job

oi... so the night was full of fun events...

I ended up spinning from like 9:45 till 1 am. Why 1 am; you ask? Well, someone, on their simple, one block walk, back to their dorm, fell, busted their head open, and was sent to the hospital. Cops arrived, party was over...

It was really fun though, and we had a great turnout (146 people).

Here's some pics:

OH! and I forgot... My fucking computer decided to crash while running Torq. Luckily it kept playing the song, and I had a regular audio cd handy. Transfered to the audio cd and rebooted.... I don't think I've felt my heart beat any faster than that, ever...

Awesome! Glad to hear things were fun. Niiiiice save, by the way. I'd have totally dropped the ball, I'm sure. I like it when people actually post the follow up to their gig threads.

What kind of music did you play? I recently got Torq and I'm getting ready for a gig at my college.

Pure house music the whole night. I loved it because you'd never find such a thing here in Columbia, SC.
