A DJ's Dilemma

Pre planned lingerie fueled extra marital activities in a Hotel?

I find it v.hard to keep my interest and performance levels up ……. mixing ……. for 8 hours straight.
Make a mix CD m8 🙂

I dunno. I’d DJ til the end, unless the party collapses early and people all cut out.

I think while it’s cool the wife wants to make the most of the night in the hotel, you both are taking this time away from the kids so you can DJ this event. Seems bad to ditch it for this reason and selfish on her part to expect you to ditch it.

Still, unless they are hardcore party animals, an 8 PM start will probably mean everyone’s trashed and “done” by 12.

It really doesn’t matter–if you plan on staying late, the party will die prematurely at 11pm. If you worry all week about the decision to cut out early, it will be for naught because its the party of a lifetime and your wife won’t budge from the dancefloor. (It helped the party when she stripped down to that naughty lingerie, of course.)

Lol sounds like a sheltered life!

Some of our after event parties started on the Saturday we played and ended the Friday after!
Im talking very recently too!
The charity event on sunday we didnt get home till 8am monday and we left Liverpool at 3.40am!
Got back to Manchester and dropped off the photographer at her home, and straight to the home of a couple who’d just DJ’d the Creamfields Back by Dope Demand after party who were still going strong on their own home decks!
We only left at 7.40 to catch what zeds we could so we looked human again when we picked the kids up from Grandma at 5pm

To answer the original question, it has to be wifey time, for sure. To neglect family life sets a real bad bad precedent, even if your the only DJ at the party. Next step is the divorce courts.
As you can imagine at our parties the rooms are swamped with people who can spin and that is not an exaggeration, and we still resort Winamp playlists or internet radio at early o clock when at times we are all played out

There will be a fair few people there, most of whom I know, and I am the only DJ playing from around 8pm until whenever it finishes. It will be an “up for it” party in that there will be many people consuming various substances (not me). So I expect to be able to finish at around 4am, maybe later.

Obviously as the only DJ and with so much time to play I get to play lots of styles and its up to me to make it a proper party. That’s no problem, I’m prepared and have lots more preparation to do this week.

The dilemma is this: my wife is at the party too; we’ve arranged babysitters for our son and will be spending the night in a hotel nearby. My wife has bought new lingerie and has dropped hints that she wants to spend some time together at the hotel after the party (you know what I mean). My wife is unlikely to keep going until 4am – I think midnight might be her limit. So at midnight she is going to want me to pack up and go back to the hotel.

Do I stay at the party which will be in full flow at that point in time? Or do I turn off the tunes, pack up and go back to fulfil my marital duties?

What do I do??? :confused:

I am Single; but have been Married; and from your Wife’s Point Of View; in her mind (having bought something Special for your time in the Hotel away from the Children); I Feel that although she Respects You as a DJ; the fact that you are going there Together means that She will be ‘Involved’ or at least ‘Cared For’ in some way;
And as the word ‘Compromise’ has already been used; I Must Agree; I Feel that you have to find a way to ‘Manage’ Both Of Your Duties; As A DJ; and As A Husband; your Friend will Understand that you have A Number Of Hours to give to Him and the Party; but then; at a ‘Designated Time’ you Must Shoot Off as you are With Your Wife;
And I Feel that Both Your Wife And Your Friend Need To Be ‘Aware Of The Designated Time’;

1. Wait until she’s utterly and decidedly wasted; help if necessary by offering free drinks.
2. Throw on an extended remix of whatever – 10 minutes or so should be plenty.
3. Nip into the bathroom for a quickie.
4. Tell her you had a great time; promise to call in the morning.
5. Don’t call her in the morning.

It’s the DJ way 😎

Hahahaha, love this idea.

Deffo… And record at least some of the set 😉
