Gig log - 1st party

hoddi · March 24, 2012

All in all it went really well but this is what went down;

Got to the hall at about 6pm and had pretty much set up completely set up by 6:30pm just to realise I had left my headphones at home haha wasn't a good start but I got my mum to drive home and she was back by 7pm. I stared to play at about 7:15 and most people didn't start rocking up until about 8. All the transitions were pretty good, no bad mistakes so nothing the crowd noticed. Before I stopped for cake time and singing happy birthday i did a genre change to dub step for one song (which had been requested by the host). I then also started the next bit with a genre change. I had planned the two parts so i knew what i was doing Just continued mixing until about 11:30. Everything went really smooth with hardly anything going wrong. The only transition that was fucked up was done by a friend of mine who has mixed a few times, he accidentally clicked the pause button but at this point there was almost no one there and no one turned around so i doubt anyone noticed. One down fall of the night was people kept asking me to turn the music up, it was really loud though and the parents didn't want it any louder. Either way my speakers were on full and mixer was in orange so I couldn't do anything. The people who asked were idiots because it was so loud anyway but they were not fussed I wouldn't turn it up.

Thanks so much for all the ADJF love and your confidence in me. I proved myself wrong tonight, I thought I would be a lot worse but I'm really happy with how it went <3

here are some pics just from my phone (so sorry for the quality but they've got some effects people added) but not many were taken with the good camera and those ones aren't that good so not sure if i'll post any more or not but here are a few

xxx <3

This whole time i though hoddi was a guy :S sorry.

Back to the point, good to see you did well , Were you worried you were going to stuff up or something?

Have a bit more confidence in yourself

I find its best for partys that i dont come until 8 because any earlier people are generally to sober to even want to dance haha

Hope you had fun

p.s. will cupe move this to adjf gig log?
