9/10/11 Setauket Neighborhood House baptism dj Rubin

baptism dj in Setauket. You won’t hear me complain that often when i’m playing.  But this wasn’t a good day for me.

With 2 hrs on the agenda from 5pm to 7pm. My goal was to expect the  worst and that’s exactly what i got. After Re Routing myself through Setauket because of the art fair they were having that weekend i arrived at the venue extremely early.   I decided to go small with the setup and it took me half of the amount of time as usual.  I used my own equipment.  At 4:30 , i see another disc jockey arrive and i’m reminded of a party i was asked to do 2 years ago where i left right away.

Immediately i was not the only baptism dj.

Parties don’t need two disc jockeys unless there working together but i’m talking about another Dj.  I knew my chance for over time was out the window. That’s a low blow for a Dj, and i think it’s insulting. I could have did the entire party, made good money.Anyway with a party expected to be delayed an hr anyway.  I concentrated on playing my mix and getting the games going. These kids didn’t listen at all.   It’s very unusual i usually get a great response.    I wanted to start with levitating circle but i axed that when they couldn’t get the concept of standing in a line and remembering a number.  Musical chairs was next,  and because i knew i had kids with ADD, i played  Red Light Green Light and closed with Mummy wrap. I had three people for mummy wrap by far the lowest total i’ve witnessed.   The postitive was playing my new mix (which can be downloaded at www.mixcrate.com/djdealeyo)

I think it’s tough when you have kids that are too young .  My 1st time playing as a baptism dj was a success

Can’t wait to do a real gig hopefully next week. Paul has now been christened as a baptism dj
