Hi all
Sitting here on Sunday morning, done all my housework (almost), so thought I would post with last nights fun.
Was meant to be doing a 21st in Ardrossan Civic Centre, where they had specifically requested Old Skool music, and lots of it, and NO Runrig at the end - just bouncy tunes.
Initially when you hear this you instantly think there will be a riot at the place, especially if history of the venue is anything to go by. How wrong I was.
Got a phone call at about 6pm to tell me that the venue had changed, as the fuse box melted in the civic centre (not surprising it was built in about 1347!). So the new venue was hastily arranged as the Whitlees Community Centre, which holds about 20% of the capacity of the Civic Centre.
1st problem was all the guests had to be informed of the venue change, so frantic phone calls a plenty and hopefully everybody would turn up. Then came the 2nd problem. The drinks licence granted for the evening was only valid for the Civic Centre, which meant that the new venue would have no bar. So all the guests would have to be told it was a bring your own bottle night.
This was of course after the police stepped in and at first didnt want the party to go ahead, but they relented after an agonising 20 minute wait and the party was given the green light.
Thankfully most people got the messages, and turned up at the venue armed with alcohol. By about 9pm the place was packed and there was cans, bottles, cups and glasses everywhere - not one patch of table could be seen :)
As it was a warm night / lots of smokers - they kept the fire door open - bad idea. 15 minutes later the Environmental Health were at the door to inform them to cap the volume, so the door was now shut. This started the oven :) Lots of people dancing, drinking merrily, and overcrowed made the place very very warm very very quickly. And the harder I played, the more they danced.
A very very enjoyable night had by all, with next to no idiots spoiling the fun by fighting (that I could see). Lots of compliments at the end of the night by thoroughly knackered dancers :)
Oh, and I wasnt going the mention that one of my work colleagues was there, bucky bottle in hand, getting "mad wi it" :) No, nobody saw you fall on your arse either mate ;)
Tonight is a wedding in the Hydro, my 2nd DJ home I think. Irish crowd so should be a good laugh - they appreciate a good party.
