feel the crowd and their response, then decide what you are going to play

... and dont get nerveous. if your used to mixing on the bottle, drink it up before your set

good luck!!

so... how did it go?

i myself would not be too worried about "first gigs" like this. i don't really think of it as a gig unless it's people who could really evaluate what i'm doing. not to say that you still won't be nervous, i know i was, but still, after a couple mixes (which hopefully weren't complete trainwrecks) all is good...

keep it funky and female booty shaking will ensue.

And to Max Thomson: I'm sorry I'm not gonna be there (I'll be in CT w/family) but I know you're gonna kill it. I hope you get to play again _real_ soon.

well....i was cool....first we had a problem with the mixer and the decks and we had to get them from the pub downstairs (same owner, we didnt steal anything)
and then all the chans on the djm600 (except chan 1) were bleeding everywhere....i couldnt mix with the eqs coz the slightest bass increase (and it was just a click abocve off) was destroying the music...i played for 90 mins out of 4 hours in total...well they prefer cheese pop/rnb music..cant blame them...nobody is perfect...i had a great time...next time i am gonna bring my mixer :P

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.
