Double Duty

I always wondered how DJ's could pull off two gigs in one night. I've had to do it a couple of times, and last Saturday was a good example. Last Supper Club was looking for an opener at the last minute. I was already DJ'ing Monaco's bday party a block up at the Double Header, so with Shieny all decked-out with his Final Scratch and Liz to keep his drink on, I headed down to LSC to open for DJ Jordan. Last Supper is a pretty good place to DJ once the crowd is moving, but, man, it's hard to get those kids to get comfortable enough to shake it! I played from 10 to 11 without ONE person dancing. I text'd Pink at the Double Header in a panic 'Nobody is Dancing!'. (I also always wondered how DJ's could do text messaging while they were playing, too). About 5 minutes after I did that, Sokolicky waltzed through the door, ready to show those LSC party people how it's done. She took off her coat, stocked up on a few drink tickets and pulled some of the more self-conscious types onto the floor with her masquerade magnetism. Pink & crew showed up not 10 minutes after my text and wondered what all the panic was about. They joined Sokolicky on the floor, shaking their heads and asses. With such amazing friends as those, I suppose I had nothing to worry about. :)
