Diwali Party Bust

Well on Saturday November 13^th, 2010, I was hired to Dj a Diwali Fundraiser event. Well in the beginning, I was looking forward to this event. We set up over 8000 watts of speakers for this, so I expected to have a lot of fun tonight. But whet I expected was the complete opposite. First who ever organized the night didn’t do a good job. People didn’t even have seats because the organizer sold more tickets than the capacity booked. The organizer also booked other sources of entertainment such as, dancer’s singers and musicians. Everyone that had bought a ticket for the night was told that the event was a dinner and dance, not dinner and watch people dance. So that being said, everyone in the audience was bored. Many people walked out half way through the show. I would have too but the difference was, I was getting paid to stay there. So from 7:00 pm to 11:00pm, the Mc and the Organizers had drained the energy of its audience with, performance after performance. At 11:00pm it was my turn to shine. We finally opened the dance floor. Everybody that was still left came on and packed the dance floor. Sadly, we had to end the party after 1 hour because we were only booked till 12:00am. I was very disappointed in the night. Even though technically it was “easy money”, when it comes down to something I love to do, I’d prefer earning it than just getting it handed to me. So I’m writing this blog stating that things don’t always work out the way it should be.
