wednesday, that day we dont talk about, and friday

wednesday - 850+ on a wednesday night.. it was insane...

friday - legendary... thats all i can say... legendary

drunk people + money = gas for the car?

end of the pay period, short on pocket money, and i dont care what i play.  makes it less traumatic to play a song i dont want to.  that and they throw money at me to do it.  such is a sunday.

my favorite drug returns - sleep deprivation

saturday night, and 5 hours sleep = one hell of a night at work.   semi-slow start, and then they started coming in.  we actually had more people in the building at 10:00pm than there were all of thursday night.  there was a line almost the length of the building around 11:00 and they just kept coming in. we were playing bad songs to get people off the dance floor again so we can sell more alchohol, and then playing really good songs to relieve pressure and crowding in the rest of the building.   the dance floor at 2:30 in the morning was still packed during the last dance set of the night.  lots of energy in the building, and lots of happily inebriated people havin a blast.  and the most amazing part of it all was that i was able to stay awake through the whole thing without falling asleep, and thinking creativly.. and i owe it all to AMP.  thank you mt dew for creating it.  and of course to JOLT COLA as well.. thanks guys.

more tomorrow if i get the chance.. until then.. time for replace some of that energy.  later kids.

the week in review - more or less

wednesday, WTF?!?... we got confused and thought it was friday or saturday?  bigger, rowdier, and fun, described wednesday night, compared to thursday and friday so far.  the place was packed in the middle of the week.. go figure.  we ended up having the wet t-shirt contest after 1am, and then hardly any time for music afterwards.  and there were a few cranky people in the building too.. 5 fights that i saw, and more outside that i heard about.  all in all t'was a pretty fun night.

thursday, blah... as usual

friday, let the fun begin.  as usual we didnt wake up till after midnight.  that just makes the rest of the night more fun. one heck of a dance set after 2am tonight...  we surprised a lot of rednecks tonight.  tomorrow -the rest of the world.

who me?... cranky?..nooo

I'm not cranky... i'm just me. 

alot of people at the club think i am cranky, mean, or just look at them that way.  far from it.. i just dont express myself the way they think i should.  granted i should at least act like they have something important to tell me and that it interests me to no end, but after being there for 5 years i just can't.  now normally i wouldnt make much comment on this, just shrug it off, but for some reason lately its gotten worse.  i dont want to look like an idiot with one of those oh so commercial insincere smiles that you see and a major chain restaurant, to me thats just insulting to the customer, but i suppose i could make an effort to be a bit friendlier.

oh yeah.. and about last night.  really good friday... played bad songs to get people to stop dancing and increase sales at the bar.  fo shizzle!

sleep deprivation kicks ass!

yes thats right kids, lack of sleep makes a dj do weird things.  for instance, playing a song about drinking.. no.. wait. i get paid to do that... never mind.. i need a nap................................................

i dont want to talk about it..

typical thursday, so i wont talk about it.

time to talk about something else for a change - Bartender's and Waitstaff.  i've seen them come and go.  some last, some dont.  i give them their due, night after night, making money hand over fist on those good nights, listening to the drunks and bar flies and weirdo's who think they actually have a sypathetic ear, and taking crap from management ( dont get me wrong.. thats managements job - "management's crap is the lubrication that gets shit done").   sure their feet hurt at the end of the night.  thats what epsom salts are for.   mine hurt too, but then again.. i dont care if mine hurt.   sure they can get involved with the drama at work, and in the bar, and at breakfast after work... wait.  can't get involved... promised i wouldn't.  damn.  oh well.

i tease them, joke with them, work with them, and try to make them a little money in the the process.  they do work for their money, just in a different way.  nice workin with y'all. 

when wednesday seems like saturday night...

Payday wednesday night. almost a thousand people. only one fight that didnt last long and was late enough in the night that it hardly counted. wet t-thirt contest was kinda fun. pool tournament was pretty good turn-out wise. all said and done.. it was a good night. not to mention the weekly thong display in the dj booth.. but thats another story.

saturday & sunday

WHOS YO DADDY!

hehehehe. saturday was goood. typical night but without any fights and alot of people having a blast. and sunday was oddly fun too. dont ask me why but it was. people coming out on a sunday to party is always a good thing... people coming out to party on a sunday and staying is an even better thing!

so nice to have a friday again.

started off a bit weird, redecorated the booth, moved all the cd's, told bad jokes, and then got ready for the night. was a nice crowd for most of the night, but there's always someone who's got to screw things up. fight on dance floor after 2:10, ended up with one fo the floormen getting his nose broken. ah, the joys of working in a bar. so far i've been lucky, worst thats happened to me was slipping on a floor, and wrenching my arm after someone started fighting in the parking lot last year. not bad after being there that long.

time for bed y'all... saturday...

Post Holiday Blues

slow this week, everyone is broke after the holiday weekend. we'll see how tomorrow night goes, but i'm dreading sunday already. i think the highlight of my night was losing a bet with myself. that or having stripper friends come and see me.. thats always a bonus.

time for bed. see ya when i see ya.

what DOES a DJ do on his day off?...

if he's lucky, he gets to SLEEP! but sometimes lack of sleep can be fun too. this week it was family time, playing with son and fiance', all day long. today its gonna be vegetating time, that special time just for me to sit back and do NOTHING! gotta love it. this coming week at work should be okay. except for thursday of course.

eventually someone is going to read this and leave a comment or something. guess i need to promote it a bit more... or not. i dunno.

party, party, party, party....

well hi kids how ya been?
we been busy.. holiday week, regular business, and the joys of life. hope your having a fun 4th of july. we have been having a fun week - busy night on wednesday, busiest night this week so far actually, and the rest of the week has been surprisingly slow compared to what it could have been. tomorrow night will go either way, and if its busy i wont complain, but it might not be as busy as we hope.

other than that, i think that i might be okay. gonna see if i can put some of our play logs on here and preserve a night for prosterity.. or incredulity.. either way.
