Cant Think What To Put Here

Minds gone blank lol

Anyways - Friday was Morgans night - quite quiet all things considered. Night passed without any major events, or kickings etc. I`m guessing that people are waiting till the football bloodbath that is the CIS Cup Final between the Old Firm this afternoon.

Saturday night was a combined 40th / Christening. and "Oh Christ" doesnt even come close to describing it.

It was the gig that almost didnt happen. My boss had delivered the stuff that afternoon, and I appeared about 8pm for an 8:30 start. Went to the reception desk and explained who I was and the girl there said "yes, your boss is just sitting waiting to bring the stuff in", which I thought was odd. He then pointed out my "boss" - another DJ company that originally was booked to do the gig but cancelled them as they couldnt do it so the customer phoned my boss.

Cue the obvious minute conversation "who should do the gig, you realise I should be getting paid for this madam even though Im not doing it" etc etc.

At the end up, I`d been booked, my equipment was in the hall, on the stage, so I win out.

Set up the stuff and was told to play background music, which I duly did. The crowd had been there since about 6 / 6:30 pm so I was hoping that they would be ready to party. And was hoping that, at 9pm, the tables on the dance floor would be getting taken away.

How wrong I was, as the buffet was wheeled out at this point, so by the time the buffet was finished and the tables removed it was nearing 10pm. As a lot of people had been there all night, they decided that their night was coming to an end, so about half of the crowd left over the next 30 minutes. I, of course, was still to play background music.

Eventually the man came up and wanted me to just switch on the party like turning on a light. I explained that at this current volume nobody will dance, which he understood and decided that the embargo on the volume could be lifted, but only slightly :|

So - with only about 20 folk left in the room, we had a party. Yes they danced, all be it badly :)

Strange night. I am away to hide in the Seamill Hydro tonight. One place that is pretty much football free.
