just what the title says. have one tonight and i have the fridge stocked up with all kinds of cheese just in case it's that kind of party. Hope i don't have to get too cheesy, but i'm prepared to. so how corny have some of you guys gotten at corporate Christmas gigs?

incredibly cheesy, particularly if it's a bunch of old office people.

Sounds like I'm playing on 4x JBL VRX918SPs and 4x JBL VRX932s tomorrow (for what worked out to be 50 or so people dancing last year) so I might have to forgo the cheese and play dubstep instead ha.

Overkill ftw!

I think I'll avoid these links and just get my fill of bass in during soundcheck, ha

read the crowd and determine how cheesy they want to go :P

I usually go pretty cheesy, but there are certain lines I only cross if I think I can get away with it...

yeah, it was that kind of party.... i may as well have been in wisconsin for all the cheese i threw down tonight lol. Super rich country club crowd too, so EVERYONE had an exaggerated sense of entitlement. Everyone was happy with the Christmas music, but the old people bitched when i played anything recorded after 1950, and the younger people bitched when i played anything recorded before 1990. i think i heard every cliche from the "worst comment/request" thread tonight... i worked the party with a buddy though. We ran interference for each other with the requesters/complainers, so it wasn't too bad, but it definitely turned into a "just a paycheck" gig real quick... Chad, i wish i would have seen those links before i headed out... it would have amused the hell out of me to drop those tracks and watch some of these crusty old cunts have heart attacks haha
Serato, Support

Lol @ Chads xmas dubstep.

Christmas Parties are pretty much the perfect night for cheese bangers.

Its almost like a 50th birthday, that happens every year, for every one.

I missed the Serato Xmas party unfortunately..we had DJ Vajra play at a local club! I heard it was real good too..I was out of town unfortunately :(

This. I have two next week, but they're generally decent gigs, with plenty of cheese for the lulz.
