DJ'n in the Cold Unappreciation

CQuence 12:26 AM - 21 May, 2007
Yesterday I had to DJ a girls 18yr old bday party at this spot that was located on the beach. It was windy, cold, and sand everywhere, what a great combination. Let me tell ya, spinnin in those cicrcumstances sure does suck, my hands were freezing and could barely get a good feel on the record, it felt like I was tryin to scratch for the 1st time. Any of yall know what I am talkin about? I have definetly retired from doing outside gigs by the beach

You should by you a Nintendo Wii so you can spin from the inside of the closest building, and they can text you their request. haha.

cold windy gigs blow. I've had my needles fly off the record from gusts of wind in the middle of a routine. Not cool.

i've done a gig below freezing... i'm still bitter about it, i didnt have any idea it was outside until i showed up. at least i had my cold weather clothes

Besides the weather, the party was coo. At first it looked like your typical junior high dance. All the dudes tryin to look hard on one side, while the girls were on the other side. When the B-Day girl showed up, she got on the mic tellin everyone to get on the floor an dance. Once she did that, it was pretty crackin. The best thing about it was only gettin 2 or 3 requests the whole night

Don't you mean "you['re] a [expletive]"?


According to wikipedia, I still don't see CA as being "cold" in CA:

Whats cold to you might be different to people in other areas of the country wouldnt you agree?

To most of us here in so cal, anything under 70 is cold as fuck.

Again you DONT live here so wouldnt know.

No, I don't agree with you. Also, I've been to CA. In fact, I have relatives in San Diego. I just left Miami, where people insist on keeping their homes above 80 degrees, and I felt like I was frying at night; people there complain when it's 70, also.

So, quit whining.

don;t forget it was on the beach... that wind comming from the ocean can make it feel even colder
Steve_Dub 5:32 PM - 21 May, 2007

I've done a few gigs in the dead of winter for a snowboard comp up here in Ontario. Mad cold, wind, snow but at least we had a tent with 3 of the 4 sides closed which stopped most of the elements. Never again tho..
