had one Saturday night...a private party. Was hired to play 60s and 70s soul and funk. Only one lame-o request, "Ghostbusters" (finally figured out the best way to deal with bad requests: say "no"(nothing else) and break eye-contact...worked like a charm) was paid immediately at the agreed upon stop time, and paid the amount agreed upon. Today, I get a phone call from the person who hired me that they wanted to hit me up with some extra $ because they were so pleased with the job I did. Wish they all could be like this.

that is nice...person hit me up with an extra $120 bucks and another gig in a few weeks. Nice.
I was highly sceptical about that evening... I expected wedding song classic requests all night. Anyway, the money was good...
I came a few hours before the party started to the venue, which was the hall of a traditional bavarian rustic restaurant, to set up the pa and the turntables. After everything was installed, friends of the birtday child brought in several crates of rhis records, because he wanted to play out an hour before me himself .
Just to kill some time, I asked him to be allowed to look through his crates.
You can't imagine the bright eyes I had when I was looking through them:
I have seldomly seen such a tasteful collection of music amassed at one place. It was filled with rare soul, funk, disco & deep house records: Fela Kuti, China Burton, Theo Parrish, Moodyman, Westend & Prelude raers, Poets Of Rhythm, Sharon Jones, Paradise Garage classics, rare oldschool rap 12" & a lot more great stuff...
The second surprise was, that the guy was a singer of a nasty, snotty punk rock band, which also played a small gig before me. Their gig was awesome, to say the least.
When it was my turn on the turntables, it took just a few minutes to get the dancefloor crowded.
It was filled with people from 40-60 years dancing their ass off to obscure funk 45s!
My best dj gig so far.
half a zip of obv good pot, whats the problem? its not like there were secret poisons put on it. it didn't have razorblades in the nugs i assume.
had almost the same thing happen recently but it was couple gs of yay in a vial that fell behind the toilet. good thing i wasn't 5-10 years younger otherwise ida nosed half that before heading back out to finish my set with no one the wiser. ended up giving it back to dude who i figured out it belonged to, he was wigging out trying to find it, and ended up rolling me a blunt for being a good samaritan.
Umm, I definitely know good weed whether I grow it, buy it, or find it.
Although, one time I did get duped with an eighth of fake weed while on vacation in Waikiki.
The bonus bag from that party though, it was without question legit.
