There are some things you have to watch out for in your club:
a) Fights might break out between kids hopped up on lollipops. Keep an eye out in case someone bumps into someone else and their apple juice spills.
b) Don't let anyone drive home drunk. In this case, don't let anyone drive home, because they are not old enough.
c) Make sure you treat your VIPs right. If they are going to drop their whole allowance on you, make sure it is worth their 10 dollars.
d) Only let hot girls in your club. Hot girls attract customers. Only let those who have started wearing their training bras in. No , no tango.
That should keep ya straight for now. |

ok, so I'm getting $600 for christmas and my friend is getting $300. We want to put that together and make a club in his basement. Since I am only 14 and he is 12 we will only be allowing 11-15 in the door :rolleyes:.
The $600 will go towards used technics on ebay.
We Have:
-Club Speakers
-Amp
-Mixer
All of the $300 more will go to some cheap chauvet lights from musicians friend or somewhere. I've seen some pretty good music activated lights for $60 - $ 80 each and a $40 fog machine. Clamp those to the cieling and put plug them in. I think that should be enough in the meantime. We will be charging like $3 a night (every other week) or like a $25/year fee so we can upgrade things.
I will get permission from all neighbors...well I don't think I need it since they live at least 100-200ft away and sound usually doesn't pass through solid ground easily :D
Lineup will be me, neighbor and some guy that lives here.
We will have to check for drugs and alcohol because we don't want to get in trouble for that :nervous:
Say...7PM - 11PM Every Other Weekend
Do you think people would come and come back? It's probably not going to be all trance...probably some hip hop, pop stuff in the beginning and then sliding into progressive, then trance.
Regards. |
Hmm...when i was 15 (hey wait that was just a few months back)
I wouldnt have used a 12 year old friend's money, in some sort of...thing like this. (of course i had no friends that young)
Unless youre a stupid 15 year old, you should know that theres a large mental gap between 12, and 15.
You shouldnt take advantage of the kid for his money. |

maybe instead of charging an *entrance* fee, you should ask for donations. When someone donates money, you give them one of your `readily available` mixed cd's.
The benefits of that could be that you will now have motivation to make a good mix cd to hand out. You will get alot of DJ practice working on that cd.
On the other hand, I personally dont know many peeps that would pay money to kick it with 11-15 other people in a basement. If i was 15 yrs old, i dont know if i would pay $$ to chill in a basement with 11-15 people. I may be inclined to donate some money to a fellow DJ as young as yourself(that is if you are serious about your dj'ing and its not a phase in life thing.)
my $0.02 - |

| Hey...we already got around 50 people to 'say' they would come. I don't know if I'll charge admission or not...probably not but hey, need some money to get new stuff. Basement can hold like 100 people and the kid suggested the idea too me and I said go for it so he said we'd put our money into it |

oh yeah, a word from the wise. Be careful what you have out. When people are around things can just walk away. |
Definitely, My senior year I threw a party at my place and a good friend of mine(so I thought) walked out with a 300 disc cd changer and a tuner. $1000+ worth of . Of course drugs were involved, and I've since learned my lesson in having crackheads(not literally but pretty damn close) as friends.
Be careful who you invite.
Get someones older brother to watch out for people with itchy hands, and to kick em out if goes south.
you may want to test it out with a small crowd, for free, with the equipment you have and see how it goes.
Props to you for your entrepreneurial(sp?) spirit at such a young age. Good luck and watch out for John Q. Law.
Dont get greedy and invite everyone and their mother or your "club" is likely to go down real fast. |
