hi holiday

But then again, the staff at my residency have never been aggressive about that sort of thing, so maybe my tune would change if they ever started coming down hard on me about it.

once they start switching your Crown shots out for Jack Daniels, then you know there's something awry...

Yeah, see, that just plain wasn't right. But Annie's mad cool, so for now, I'm taking that as a momentary lapse of judgment.

Definitely a big issue. I try to throw on a long jam and move fast if that happens, but that risk of long bathroom lines still looms. Trying to cut by saying that "Sorry but I'm the DJ and I've gotta get back soon" sometimes works, but sometimes causes even more problems.

Fuck that. I run stright to the front, and the bathroom attendent girls are cool. I don't have time to wait on line, and I could care less what people on the line think. Sure the odd person here and there gets upset, but the bathroom girls look out for me and most people back down when they get told i'm the DJ.

Top 5 things a manager/owner says to a DJ

1- Your doing a great job, but can you make it a little more uptempo?

2- Lets start things off with a bang tonite

3- Why do you think people aren't dancing yet?

4- We had a really bad night, do you think you could cut me a break?

5- Where is everyone?

We had a really great night, how about paying me double?

just wondering how many of you out there are residents..

moreso, how many residents out there have to put up with NONSENSE from the owners/bar staff?

Man, I'm at a resident at two spots on fridays.

One is in the super bougie (sp) cheesey part of the city. I've been doing it for about 2-3 years and the first year I simply hated it. I was fucking miserable being there, but after I got over the "hey imma artiste" shit and realized it's the Marina/this a good and easy money, I started to have actual fun there. Plus doing it for so long you get used to playing for a crowd like that (little secet: I sometimes bring the exact same records and almost play 'em in the exact same order time after time).

The owner used to sweat me about "don't play to much rap, we don't want to bring in that element" but now he doesn't even care. and word, they definetly keep me liquored up.


The other spot is in a more recently gentrified part of town and they don't really sweat us except when it comes to the drinks and shit. The only wack thing is that they get mad at my boy and me if it's kinda slow and even cut our pay once by a bit. Which is wack because they don't break us off extra when the spot is packed.

Overall I ain't mad, I'll always have gigs on friday and at least have some money coming in.

You should, straight up. If they're gonna play that game, they should play it both ways (um...ayo?).
