I did a gig tonight at my local pub tonight, and wasn't nervous at all - mainly because I know everyone. Oh it was so much fun! The pub only gets about 100 people in the room, but by 10pm they've had a few drinks and the atmosphere is just brilliant! They were singing and dancing - and I wasn't nervous at all! Just goes to prove - sometimes a gig for £50, with 100 people, can be better than a gig for 500 people, for £500. Money is not everything. I never got into this for the money - just for the fun! 
Summer is here! Only 4 things we need - cold beer, hot ladies, loud music, and more cold beer!

When I had my first full night appearance, on 28th, feb, I was nervous like hell. But being there before open, talking to the bartender guys, and starting a bottle of beer, helped me. My most worry was: "If my laptop crashes... I mingh throw myself on a sword  "

The 'beer option' seems popular! I'm usually okay once I get to the event and start playing - it's just in the hours before that I get nervous. Sitting at home just waiting to leave...

Standing in the booth, waiting for the Security guy to open front door, which is a sign to me to press Play. In these spare times, I usually mix for myself in the headphones  Just to chill up.

I like that approach, I usually scratched until poeple came to relax (mind and fingers  ) or until the boss told me to stop

I've usually got my iPod touch with me, so a quick game of cards, or a chapter or two of my ebooks helps me relax before everyone arrives!

DPC not gonna like that  when i started playing crysis2 midset the music suddenly frooze 
If you start playing Crysis 2 midset, that must be a sh*t party, so I don't think that playing music matters anyway  At least you enjoy yourself

you must have a killer laptop to run Crysis 2!! Then again, I've tested my laptop with a few Steam games (HL2 and Portal 2) and they run great!  ps. God Bless and goodnight to my good friend Ray - we will miss you mate. May you rest in peace, where the music is always good and the jukebox is full of your favourite songs. You won't ever be forgotten - whenever a Killers, Dire Straits, or Coldpay song comes on the radio I'll be thinking of you.
