Have you ever been pleasantly suprised at a gig?? Read...
Posted on: 08.04.2013 by Lannie Kutay
Here's what happened, i was hired to play a small graduation party this past Saturday, the host told me there would be only like 30 people. I told them it was the same price as a full fledged gig, they were fine with that. (my smallest system is 3000 watts ) But i figured that it would suck and no one would be dancing. Well turns out like over 100 people showed up and i threw a raging party in that basement. We went way later than i was supposed to play but i didn't care because i was just having fun. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Has that ever happened to anyone else? Stories?

Two weeks ago some friends and I went to some random guys house and the few of us were grooving to the music on Pandora, and I had my lights still in my trunk from a gig the evening before, so I hooked them up and it was pretty fun.
The guy called me on Monday and asked me to do a house party on Friday. I thought that with only four evening s to invite people that no one would show up and it would be dead, but we filled the whole house, with people dancing and going crazy all evening !

I usually do 1-2 house parties a month for friends. They range from ragers to I wasted my time. 2 parties ago the evening started out as it usually does, with the usual people and me spinning the usual stuff (I gig House/Electro but play everything at house parties). Around 11pm, a huge influx of people showed up who I had never met and I started to get requests for House/Electro. I ended up doing 4hrs of it and had the entire house going crazy. Everywhere I looked, there were people dancing. One of the best parties I've ever done and I thought it was going to be just a regular kind of evening so I was pleasantly surprised.
