Hey Mark, We all have those type parties. You did play there requests. Maybe they weren't the dancing crowd. You must have done something right You Got A Tip!!

Don't Spend It All In One Place Mark! LoL!

You should buy a Behringer Xenyx 1002FX Mixer as a simple cheap backup mixer. I have one just in case. Overall the gig looked ok, and hey ya got a tip so ya must have done something right! lol

I'm glad you actually put a gig log up that had a problem on it, because not many DJ's do that, and it happens, even if it is only every 10yrs.

oh man i commented before the end of the vid :) ouch, that was tough! and you are exactly right, bride+groom dancing = ppl dancing!! always! no dancing to michael jackson, thats tough!

[uptownxpress]

oh man, that sucks! scary when things go wrong, well at least you got it working in the end! there are those parties where ppl just don't dance. But good job in all!

smile it happens but we still go on

[edenthedjguy]

haha... These are shit gigs Mark.... I dont take it personal when this happens, its a toe tapping party. Thats all they do tap there toes. Usually it means its a dry bar or no free drinks wedding, THAT SUX. I like playing really random shit when this happens... but then, i'm 6'3 and 270lbs and a martial arts instructor as well lol

Always go to your popular Movie soundtracks songs when that happens but wow what a tough crowd.

[mobiledjdennis]

Wow OMG I feel for ya Mark, I have had only a few parties like this and it brings you down, it's not you but the crowd can make you feel like your not doing your job but you know better. I had a party where the mother moved me to a gazebo around 100 feet from where the dance floor was to be. The crowd didn't know where to dance because I was so far away. I hated it, but you have to grin and bear it and just hope the next one goes better.

i still got a tip, the groom said at the end that they were more of a sit around a drink crowd anyways...

thanks
