Holiday Inn
Did a show last night at the Holiday Inn lounge, Fat Daddy's. The show itself was fine, I guess, and I'll be there next Wednesday (25th) and Thursday (26th) if anyone wants to come sing. The place isn't bad at all, the crowd is a little different than I'm used to.
I'll be downloading a lot of music from iTunes this week, because the crowd apparently likes to dance to more Usher, Nelly, and Black-Eyed Peas than I do. My "dance music" isn't the same as theirs. That's not a problem, I love facilitating other people's good time. I was just disappointed that I didn't do a better job of it.
But ultimately it's not the kind of show that I want to be doing. I much prefer a karaoke show rather than a karaoke/dj show. I just suck at the DJ part of it. The manager was very nice about it when I explained it to her, which is why I'm happy to go back next week while she tries to find someone that can do the kind of integrated show that the crowd there would like to have.
On a side note, I was actually heckled by one asshole. Sadly, this guy had zero game, so it wasn't even worth the effort to put him in his place. But the crowd from Old Navy seemed to have a good time, so that made up for it.
All that said, I think next week I'll at least have a better time because I'll know what to expect walking in the door. If you're out and about, stop by and put a song up. The rotation will probably not be very long at all, except you might have to wait for me to play something by Usher or Gwen Stafani between rotations. :)
Later peeps!
