I can't give you any advice, since I've never played live in front of people (besides an office party that i never should have done, lol) but I can tell you that these gigs are probably the best to get when starting out, given that you are actually capable of playing a long set without choking.
Music is not so loud, you get to play in front of people, and since noone is really focusing 100% on the music you don't have the pressure of getting everything perfect. Perfect setting to get experience.
This is exactly the type of gig I will be pursuing once I decide to get out and play live. Best of luck mate, and tell us how it went ;) |

Wow man, let us know how it goes. Nervousness can be helpful to get you pumped up, but try to stay calm and collected. My first gig I was freaking out but it turned out alright, it's important to stay confident.
Good luck, man. Break a leg.
What are you gonna be messing with? |

relax and only do the gig if you really think you are ready for it.
Sometimes if people rush into gigs, they can leave a bad impression that will stick with them no matter how good they become. I am not calling you or anything, but i know you are really new at this:) |
defitnely, thnx for the feedback, and i wouldnt be doing this if i felt i wasnt ready for it. i am new to it, but ive done it enough to feel comfortable around a pair of decks.

Luckily it wasn't a huge gig or anything...still embarassing. |

Yeah, I know. It happens. If it happens at home when you're just chillin' and mixing some tunes without a care in the world it is definitely bound to happen when you have the pressure of playing in front of people, lol. |

When I did it, luckily it was a small-time gig with a few handfuls of friends.... so I got a few friendly jeers and scoldings. :) |
