lol & lol.
once when I was vjing someone come to ask me if I could put on the football match (it was during the last world cup).
few times when I was instead Djing some dude come to ask for a beer or assuming that instead that was the cloakroom.
countless times I have been asked to play bob marley and the doors (even during glitch sets).

Instead of saying things like:

1. “Can you play something I can dance to?”

2. “Do you have anything I like?”

3. “This is okay, but everybody wants to hear [insert artist or genre you don't have].”

…drunk people come up and say they like what you’re playing? Where is this and how do I get booked there?

Good point, Wax. I should add an additional qualification:

You must be able to make music other people can hear.

I dunno if this is much of a challenge - seems to me I recall stories of DJ Keoki doing this plenty of times when he was out of his mind on drugs. or was that him trying to cue up a slipmat and laying the needle down on it and plunging the club into the joyful sounds of noise? lol
