Help with a Party...

Just do it already, so what if they bitch you out? You're young and stupid so do it, take the consequences like a man but have the time of your life

Update for everyone...

Alright guys so my gig went great. I left at 10, But everything was cool because the other dj did in fact show up so everyone was happy. I didn't get too many pictures but I took a few of the setup I was using.

Anyway, they loved me, and I got hired for 2 more parties. Seems like a successful evening for me.
By 10, half the people didn't even care what music was playing, they were just rockin' out haha. Lets just say not too many people were sober. I'm clean though, I don't drink or do drugs/smoke...

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my little summary. I'll post some pic later! Need to go shower.....

I hear you. That's a tough one. Have you told them of the new situation? Maybe one is willing to go along with you, and sees how cool it is that you are dj'ing the event, and since they are there, the late evening isin't as big a deal. I dunno dude. Unless you can come up with a replacement dj who has gear / pa speakers, then it sounds like the party may have to end early.

Thats cool man...i have to buy my own stuff...it sucks...but i believe im talking my grandma into buying me Traktor scratch for my CD players( NDX-400's)

Guys, Pissing off my parents isn't on my to-do list lol. They just helped me buy a shiny new F1.

make sure to play levels at least 3 times!!!

Pack now (or tomorrow morning). Play the party. Break down the gear , and then go home. If you sleep 4 hours, so be it. Hell, if you have to stay up all evening , so be it - you can sleep on the plane / car. 4 hours of sleep feels like 8 for the first couple of hours anyway - seriously, you can wake up after 4 and its way better than 6 hours of sleep due to sleep cycles being typically 4 hours, i.e., when you sleep 6 you wake up mid cycle and feel groggy. With 4ish hours you dont feel groggy at all, but it just hits you later that day (like, 4-6pm for me at least) but you can power through if you stay active and sleep well the next evening . Trust me, in college you will pull all evening ers relatively often, especially depending upon your major - it's not that big of a deal.

Unless you can find a friend that is decent a DJing and you can trust with all the PA stuff to unplug safely etc, I really don't see a way out.

If the only solution is to end up the thing at 10, make sure everyone knows it's not your fault but the other guy's. If you can make it clear without having to yell it on the mic thus being an ass, you're sucessful.

Well, we cannot solve every problem.

But really, the only thing I see here is an opportunity for you to DJ for 2 more hours. You are exited, because it's going to be a nice moment, you have the opportunity to spend maybe the 2 best hours of your life so far so why don't you take it ? To save 2 hours of sleep ? Bitch please.. You sleep every evening , you won't DJ that kind of event every evening .
