sounds like your night WAS complete fucking shit... :-( it subtlety reminds me of a night I had to play the Wednesday before Thanksgiving right outside of philly one year... with the karaoke idiots and the busted mic (oh yes, because swinging the mic by its chord is a GREAT way to take the crowd's mind off your terrible singing whilst giving your DJ a heart attack).
of course, i didn't have to deal with the assholery (i made a word, i think) of that other DJ company. that, above everything else is a bunch of shit... guys like that utterly infuriate me (and remind me slightly of my old boss).
kudos, however, to walking away from the cocaine. i was seeing (okay.. sleeping with) this girl who did that and meth and.. ugh.. yeah. not good.
I don't remember when it's EVER been this bad. D= And yes, YES. Why do the idiots who do karaoke think it's so cool to swing the fucking mics around?! The 'professionals' do it because they either know what they're doing and won't destroy the mics, or the mics/cords are THEIRS, so it doesn't really MATTER... or they just don't give a shit, but really. and then there's the idiots that don't know how to use a mic and just scream into it and cup the mic so everything's all distorted, and then they wonder why I turn the volume down on them. HI, it's so you don't blow my speaker(s) by being a loud obnoxious twat.
I mean, I don't have stones to throw on the singing, since most songs I can't sing very well, either, but if someone's having fun, then awesome. If you (general you) want to pull the 'rockstar' shit, join a rock band, don't pull it at karaoke when you're drunk and could wreck stuff. >.That's the thing, though, this guy is pretty much JUST a karaoke company. I can offer DJing, karaoke and music videos if the venue has a

Since I can't edit commenst, on the Darren thing - I just KNOW he's going to come crawling back looking for his job back in about a month, maybe a month and a half. I'm going to make sure Davey and Mike don't fucking hire him back. That's unprofessional, what he did.
it's really very sad when a "DJ" decides to undermine another company like this guys doing. i mean, sure, it's competition, shit happens, but from what you're saying this loser doesn't have a leg to stand on as far as competing with you. my old boss used to be the same way (hence why i'm not with him anymore), and even after i left and had my OWN company, he tried to get me to work for him a couple of nights

Man, I could sell my life experiences to be made into a movie, lol. And... yeah, unfortunately, they do. Not a lot, so I didn't even THINK that it could happen, but...
The guy's business is fizzling out already because his selection sucks, his hosts suck or are moneygrubbing sluts (not judging, just the truth), and his business attitude is atrocious. I mean, I found out from Darren (who DID, in fact, come crawling back like I predicted he would) that the guy is so unprofessional, he pulled a few shows because he wasn't getting enough money from the clubs/bars/wherever. So yeah, I think I'm pretty glad I have a professional atitude about this, and they can deal with having shit for jobs.
Sorry, that Jake guy sounds like a hilarious trainwreck, I'm cracking up reading it - awesome that you don't have to deal with the Jake bump anymre! That'd drive me NUTS.
DON'T DO IT. IT IS SO BAD. I did so much shit, and coke and ecstasy were the worst for me. Ecstasy really fucked up my system, I ended up being unable to physically eat

Oh yeah. Totally, both of our lives could be lifetime movies or perhaps a miniseries.
Let me tell you a little story about a extremely intelligent though slightly chubby little girl who in the fourth grade was asked by Johns Hopkins University to participate in a study on childhood intelligence. She was given the S.A.T. and wow, believe it or not, even without ever having seen some of the words, and having no clue about high school math or english... she scored a 1020. Which apparently was very good for such a little girl.
Now, during middle school things began to turn sour. She starting hanging out with a bad crowd, getting into fights and being suspended. She transfered to a new school in which everyone was so goody goody it made her fucking sick. AND THEN... like a beacon in the most dreary of nights, she walked into the wrong place at the wrong time and met people who fit her idea of cool kids finally.(truthfully she was a bit of a fucking idiot even then) There she began to drink, trip, and roll her sophomore, junior

God that does sound like the night from hell. I would have lost it with the person breaking the mike...seriously, I would probably be in jail.
I am glad you have Davey, he sounds like such a great guy, and as I have always said people who love you, love you. Everything, because love overlooks things, you know?
For a second, I was wondering who this was, because I didn't recognize the username, lol.
I almost did. Lose it, I mean/ I rarely get snippy on the mics, and I finally got on and say, "DON'T. ASK ME. AGAIN. NO MORE SINGING." Off the mic - "FOR FUCK'S SAKE!" And I'm glad I have Davey, too, poor guy puts up with so much crap.
