yes,, I totally agree,,, this can keep going, I'm not asking it to end, in fact I find most of it, ummmm,, entertaining to say the least,,,, what I am asking is what you did?,,,,

If you don't tell me, our cat is gonna come over to your house and claw your couch! LOL
 
An ending and an answer aren't the same thing.

Cesar: you've managed to debate lots of other people's answer to this question, when do we get to debate yours?
 
7 DJs responded that they wouldn't do the Grand Introduction.

18 DJs would of done the Grand Introduction.

Couldn't figure out what Jon Tuck and Jumpin Jeff would of done by their posts.

Just a observation of the thread.
 
I would set up my video camera and start recording.

"Hi, folks, I am Johnny 'The Vinyl Spinner' Komitoudis. On behalf of DJ [whatever], who didn't make it, I will introduce the bridal party. I am sorry for rushing through this, but I am committed to my actual party, and I guarantee my set up time in writing--unless I'm sick, dead, or kidnapped (pause for big laughs :p ). Everybody is welcome to pick up one of my bright red Professional Celebrity Friendship Pens. And, now, the moment you've all been waiting for..."
 
I wasn't looking for an observation, I was looking for YOUR answer. Is it really this hard?

I've already provided the answer...

If the case was that they were too cheap to hire a DJ for the announcements while the band played, then no, they get what they paid for, and I would not have the time to provide them announcements. If however, the DJ was a no show, or late, and I was ready to go for my event, then yes, I would help them out.

Why was that so hard to determine from my post?

It appears to me that all you are doing is creating anxiety and distrust with the members here. Enough with the dramatics... Now, get on with it already! What would you do in this situation? What did you do?

I disagree. I find threads like this to be a lesson in just how much this industry over-thinks itself. It's just a job. (everyone has to have one)

Anxiety and distrust can only be created from within one's self.

Our lives and work only have to be as complicated as we allow them to be.

I am simply a person getting paid to use my talents and tools. I wear no cape, teach no class and write no book. Although I am quick to defend and share my own practices, I am never overcome by those of others.
 
Think of as you may, but Cesar appears to quickly be becoming un popular with his participation tactics.

I recall Cesar stating he wouldn't offer a response for 24 hours, and it's well past this IMO.
 
Jumpin Jeff

The original post stated that the Banquet members were looking for me as it turns out latter to do the Grand Introduction for another B/G.

Given your response I don't understand how the scenario would play out.

Banquet member asks you and you tell him to go ask the Bride if the DJ is missing or if they were to cheap to pay for a DJ. (That doesn't seem like you helped the person asking for assistance from the Banquet Staff that is just trying to make sure that somebody that choose their facility to share their special day had a great time.)

Banquet member asks you and you say take me to the Bride I have some questions for you. You ask and the Bride says the DJ isn't supposed to be there for another 30 minutes. Banquet member standing right next to you as you tell the Bride Sorry I Can't Help You.

Still can't figure out your answer.

I've given my response, and you still ignore the request to respond yourself!

Let me put it this way. I am already commited to my own client. If it is not convenient to assist this other group, I won't, plain and simple. My #1 commitment is to my own client.

It should be easy enough to determine when the DJ for the other group was to show up with a simple question to the banquet manager. I have no commitment to the other group at all, and can continue to look busy at fullfilling my commitment to my client should I not get a proper response to that question.

If that ain't clear enough, then there isn't a response that will satisfy you.
 
hmm try this one folks

IF your not happy to give your take without expecting return then simply ignore a Cesar thread or any that your hoping to gain a return on but likely not going to get one.(it seems a bit silly if your aware of how one posts yet you cant get enough of the drama by simply opting out) much like when you choose or not to take that charity event. Im with Hank on this one folks.
 
thats a wise choice Jeff. You folks dont know Cesar by now? Ya think your going to see him change? He hasnt thanked anyone to date take that to the bank. If his way doesnt work for ya find something that does. Life is to short to waste it. However if you are able to figure out the motives or simply like discussing topic with others it is a gain for you and everyone else.

Cesar, Sharing can be of benefit to gain even more of which you seek. Thanks is ok too youve typed the words when recognized, the button isnt much further down the page.

I'm one of the most friendly, giving people on the planet and I honestly don't think I would have touched this one. I work hard to prepare for and execute my own functions. It would take my head out of my own game. If I allowed myself to become involved, I would be worrying about the success of both functions for the remainder of the day.

Luckily, I don't book at these types of (multi function) halls. One function, one hall, one DJ.

I feel the same way....what if it delayed my setup, and I screwed up getting ready for the paying customer?

But -- in reality -- I'm ALWAYS SUPER EARLY at most venues.....typically I'm set up ONE HOUR before the start of scheduled playing time, and I could quickly change into my suit and go into the other room....

On the other board (WeDJie World Start Center?) I glibly said "Sure I'd do it, for a fee" -- in jest.

If it was a place that regularly sent me biz, I'd do it in a heartbeat, and my "fee" will be the hall referrals!
 
There's another aspect to this that I just thought of. What would the banquet hall think if you backed out? Suppose this was the el primo banquet hall in your area and you have been itching to get in there. Would they be likely to recommend you if you backed out?

Just some thoughts.
