Upcoming Gigs

[DJ GloX]

*Sticky please
Since there is a topic for discussing a gig after it has passed, heres one to talk about some before they occur!

[DJ GloX]

I'll start it off.. on 6/15 i'll be spinning for a medium-sized house party :) then the following week on the 24th, I'll be spinning at a hotel for a sweet 16 party! Good thing I got myself a coffin.

[DJ D3CIB3L]

I'll continue. I am having a gig on the 19th (graduation party) and another graduation/birthday/pool party on the 24th of june. I just love those gig pay checks. Makes those bills go farther and farther away,eh?

[CGDJ]

I got a gig, tonight on the 4th for a senior breakfast then another gig on the 18th for a graduation party.

[DJ GloX]

alright Cool :spin:

[Ellissentials]

I got one... in my front yard... playing in front of a crowd of 1 (my dog)



:banghead:

[djscrizzle]

i might be backing a guitarist tonight... small crowd and the pa is provided by venue...

[Rabid Wombat]

house party june 10th.

50ish people. i dont even have any lighting. is it gonna suck without any lighting? like should i just get a small strobe?

[DJ D3CIB3L]

yes, in a sense. How much are you charging? Also, Look into a few hightech effect lights (american dj topaz,vertigo,mystic,avenger) (chauvet obession, mushroom, derby, zx-15). Get a few american dj big shot strobes too- they work well with the crowd when grindin starts to come in.

i'm spinning at 3 house parties... one on the 24th, july 1st, and the 2nd... :slayer: :banana: :music: :dance: :dj: unfortunately, they're all for free... so i'm really considering a tip jar or something...

[DJ Pyro]

^ ^ ^ yea always take a tip jar with you... ppl actually give tips I've noticed
I shoudl be having a gig next fri June 11th for a HS graduation party in
Charlotte, NC (might as well go see all my friends while I'm home too :) )
then I should be doing a car wash that following sat back home in Greensboro,NC
and then I think they want me to do a small club thursday the 16th or is it the 9th?
hmm not sure will have to check. I am going to be a busy man this June... but I
REFUSE TO DJ JUNE 18TH THATS MY BIRTHDAY :dance: I'll be with my woman
the whollllllle weekend and then sunday go chill with my granddad for fathers day

[DJ GloX]

Well, I got some bad news.. The paying gig I had (24th) was cancelled.. She said "some people told me its better to just have people bring CDs in" so im like... uhhhh okay then. the 15th is still on... although its gonna be free... with minimal lighting, a few blacklights, and a strobe.. maybe one or two intelligent light thingys, if I can get them from my friend. I'll probably use the tip jar :)

[DJ FatMaster]

Thats a bummer, but it happens, in order to avoid that a great thing to do is to type up a professional sounding contract that basically states that if someone books a gig but than retracts before the date comes up they have to pay you however much you deem right, half the price is a standard, sometimes lower, but this will make people keep gigs on and not gekk ya out like that


:dj: FAT

[DJ GloX]

Sounds good, I should write one up sometime.

[Reflexx]

My fraternity is having a formal june 24th, so yeah, that's my 2nd gig...im still kinda nervous...and like someone said..i don't even have lighting...=/

[DJ GloX]

It's ok, most people dont notice that unless someone mentions it.
