Hmm... I see "mine's bigger than yours" potential... Better go get the ruler. :sqlaugh:

When I'm running minimal lighting I go with the following: (1) Eliminator E141 Octobar ($70) (1) American DJ Warp TRI LED ($200 - grabbed mine off eBay for $75) (1) American DJ Mobile Beam (you can find these on eBay at about $150) I really like this setup, but may be a bit too much...

I'm at a loss for words. Thanks to those out there who bring professionalism, rather than pubescent gradeschool awkardness, to DJing.

The student government sponsor at the high school where I got my start booked me last week for their back to school dance for the 2010-11 school year. I had been doing all the dances, when I was available, for this school in the past few years, including a basketball homecoming dance usually...

When I first started out I thought I could save some money and went with a Gem Sound amplifier. Probably spent around $200 on it for a claimed max output of 3000Watts. Had issues with it overheating and cutting out, needless to say it now serves as an excellent paper weight. If you're trying...

I apologize if my response concerning the concert came across as unprofessional or disrespectful. Kyle, again I appreciate the offer to be straightforward I doubt that I can justify the drive. First priority is currently college. While I don't wish to be the guy with lights, a PA, and plays...

Back from my soccer days... We Ready - Archie Eversole (we always came out to this song) Song 2 - Blur I'll let you know if anything else comes to mind.

I also like to give the local bluegrass band, Bawn in the Mash, some exposure as everyone is leaving. I'm not a huge bluegrass fan, but these guys are one of my favorite bands. I'm partial to The Nuclear Waltz on their Welcome to the Atomic City album.

Thanks for the advice Cesar. I dropped the ego when I learned first hand that GemSound is not quite the top notch in equipment. Thankfully my playlists got me through and landed me more gigs (or it was that nobody else could be found). Anyway, it's time that I offer my clients more (in addition...

I appreciate the offer, it sounds like an excellent opportunity, it may be difficult for me to swing though. This weekend I'm moving back to Lexington for school and I've already bought tickets for a concert on the 6th. If a weekend comes up that works out I wouldn't mind making the drive.

After a year of learning what not to do the hard way on my own I've decided that perhaps it would be best to learn the ropes from someone more seasoned in the business. So... is there by anyone here in or anyone here who knows someone in Lexington KY that might be willing to mentor me in...

Ah, how I love when venue clearing time comes. Being new to DJing, it's been just over a year now, this is when I like to experiment and learn. This just applies to my school gigs. Event A: If the rockers are still around I'll throw them a song or two from their requests which gut instinct...

Alright time for another fun filled, action packed gig report. It was a busy day for me. Work at the chemical plant until 3:30, then sped to coach a soccer game 30min away, then sped home to change. Then sped to the school to set-up. The Good: Didn't have a single song that bombed, a first...

For my basic system I provide my full setup: laptop mixer amp (4) single 15" cabs on stands 10' truss various lights (about 13 total) Here's my view on what I offer which comes from my door-to-door sales training for an unnamed company that I went through after falling for the $13/hour...
