Please direct me to where this thread shoud be put.
I have experienced several drunk people distracting me from doing my djing job.
I have been lucky enough that these drunks are happy drunks towards me, as I am pretty good at finding a one on one level with these people.
The problem is, I have a hard time telling people to basically get the f*** out of my booth so I can do my job. I drop several subtle hints to politely leave, but tossin' them out is a bit too much.
How do handle the situation?
Most of the time, these drunks are manageable, and I can handle them, but for example last night, I could hardly take any more of this one drunk who wanted to sing and talk on the mic all night and tell me what everyone wanted to hear. At one point I told him, I need to get this thing rockin, and I needed him to leave the booth. He did so, and about 10 minutes later he was back in my space.
Some other people could see this guy was being a little excessively annoying, and I had some people asking me if I needed help on either getting him get kicked out of the venue, or kicking the crap out of him. Since I am not a pot stirrer, I told them I was alright, and I was handling it.
I made it through last night, but there is a chance this drunk will be at the venue since I play there again tonight. I don't mind some people in my booth every now and then, because it shows I am an approachable dj, but yet there are certain times, when it is very excessive and annoying.
I think one of the things that bothers me the most is some people think that just because they are behind the booth they are cool, and they are part of the crew...lol.
Anways..enough ramblin', what do you say?
