Graduation birthday party Holbrook Lindenhurst 6/23/12
We were celebrating a graduation party and birthday party today. The first party began at 2pm and i played until 6pm but there was a problem, i was only supposed to play for three hours but my sheet said four.
9/3/11 At The Schmidts in Fort Salonga birthday party
i had a very queezy feeling about this birthday party. I didn’t think my laptop was gonna make it, it was slow and i wasn’t able to get into itunes to correct my playlists. A very slow classic rock playlist and a 5 hour birthday party. I thought i was in for it. Then I got there and the was a huge hill just to get up to the pool and the patio area to where i’d be playing. Then they showed me the big orange wheelbarrow. I don’t think i’ve ever worked so hard before a party as i did today. I got involved with the kids and we had a watergun fight . I haven’t done that in years. It’s important for people to feel that your involved the party. I always do something that people will notice. It wasn’t noticed which bothered me. Up and down the hill with the wheelbarrow.I didn’t have a table to use either so i had three stands set up. UGH , bring a table. Anyway i started off this birthday party with her list for about and hr and half. Went back and forth from my classic rock list to her list. Then i dropped the dinner cd, went back to classic rock and her list again.Then i played some 80’s pop, and some 80’s remakes. Then i did my dance set, and did some more 80’s after that. It was alot of fun. Lots of worrying for nothing, and i got to play another hour so that was very appreciated. It had a great time in the hills of Fort  Solonga rocking this birthday party
7/6/11 Holbrook Dietrick 13 year old birthday party
Who can resist a double shift including a birthday party? Birthday party time! Well that wasn’t meant to be as i knew at about 1pm that wasn’t going to happen. So it was off to down the street where i had a 2 hr party in Holbrook. ‘m not a fan of 2 hr parties as a performer it doesn’t give me alot of time to do get into a rhythm and routine that I like. I got early and i started playing music at 440 even though i wasn’t supposed to play until 5pm. STRIKE ONE. wasn’t able to get into a good flow as i was playing alot of requests that were at different speeds.  Current hiphop is really slow and  i wasn’t able to get alot of beat matching that i enjoy.   I played mostly hiphop and some current dance. had a bad feeling i wasn’t going to get to play overtime as i was getting into the higher point of my performance, i had to go home. They just couldn’t afford it. Really nice people but they got me at a real discount price and i wasn’t able to truly get more for my overtime hour. It’s upsetting because i’m not a discount Dj, and i didn’t get a tip or the extra playing time which i need on a 2 hr event. Another birthday party complete i blinked and it was over Dj Paul
6/11 Gilbert Party (16th/Twins) in Deer Park
With heavy rain looming in the backround. There was a tremendous amount of uncertainty. Were people going to show up? Was it going to be fun? I think parties that start this way and end with a boom are the biggest success stories a party can ever have. Yes , this party was outstanding. We played games Red Light, Green Light, Musical Chairs, Levitating Circle, Mummy Wrap, Etc. Before the serving of the cake i had to step in and knock the pinata down. I think the parents were getting tired of the unsucessful attempts. Hey i do what i have to sometimes. When the games were over, the dancing began and despite a nice rain coming down toward the end of the party. It didn’t stop the kids from boogying down. I think we could have kept going but the rain started coming down heavy. Â I couldn’t see the last hour with no backyard light, so that was a challenge. Great people, great party. A little tight on space but we made it work Paul
