God played a joke on me yesterday...

[rodbakeriii]

Okay, so I'm performing DJ services for a wedding reception and ceremony yesterday. Very high profile (aka very high paying gig). I have two music systems set up, one outside Stonebridge Country Club for the ceremony, and one indoors. I'm running around like crazy.

I'm running the ceremony music on my laptop. I know better, but I leave my power cord in the car (quite a ways away). Anyways, I get through the intro/seating music, I get through everything including "here comes the bride". The ceremony gets underway, and the laptop is out of juice. Out. I am not going to have music for the recessional...and these, as mentioned, very picky high paying customers. Pissing them off right before the reception would have made the rest of the afternoon tough to overcome (not impossible, but tough).

So, I SPRINT from there to the car. Hurry back. Find an open spot on the powerstrip (had to dig inside my mixer carrying case), boot it back up, get to the recessional song. I did it with about 20 seconds to spare when the officiant introduced them. Barely made it.

Their recessional song?


boomer sooner.


So not only did I have to play that God-awful song. I had to bust my booty to make sure it didn't skip a beat. I could almost hear God laughing at me....

Now you know how a prostitute with a conscious feels. I hope if was big, big money or you've become a real slut and not a top-end prostitute.

I'm confused.

Stonebridge is not a low-rent country club.

Stonebridge is not a low-rent country club.

In that case, they probably were playing the Yale song, "Boolah Boolah." Ya know, the one the goons stole. ;)

Bride's family from Texas (the ones paying the bills). She went to Waco while he attended OU. We had a presentation during the reception and they talked about the long distance thing, how hard four hours is to overcome, etc etc. Those of you that know what's going on in my life know that obviously hit a little close to home...

Anyways, sweet couple. Even if they are from that school down south!

And when it's all over, douche-bags are still douche-bags, but at least you found some that pay well.:D

Well said.

Plan B: Well you could have had all the guests play their ringtones, same thing.

Plan C: The guest could of hummed a few bars because there are no words.

Did the check clear?

Sounds like it would be a good idea to pick up an extra battery or even just an ipod that could be used in a pinch.

Yeah, I usually do have an ipod with the basic songs. Tough morning (flat tire with the dolly, etc etc). Had challenge after challenge all day, but pulled through nicely.

And no, the bridesmaids were nothing to look at this time. I do have a recent picture of a prom. First prom I've done in ages. And uh, the girls don't look 17 and 18 years old. Yikes....!!!
