Don't do it...no matter how badly you need the money...

in all seriousness though, I overbooked this weekend and I can feel it in my body. I finished a seven hour gig last night and the night before i had a one hour gig. Today, Saturday, I will be djing for a five hour gig. My ears aren't too happy and these extra long gigs haven't given me proper time to rest and eat. I only at two meals in the past two days...red bull isn't even saving me right now...anyways thats my advice to any up and coming dj's and basically i just wanted to anyone to share their experiences such as this...

You just have to plan ahead a bit and work out when you're going to sleep/eat etc. Power naps are your friend.

Yeah this is it basically, but it still takes it out of you overall I reckon. I've played gigs at 1am-5am then a set at a day club at 9am and it was exhausting as fuck.

That's what the week at work's for - just take a pillow in and sleep at your desk.

Not trying to sound rude but that doesn't really sound like overbooking to me, more like bad time managment.

Prioritise your food dude, you will need it.

Cheers
