SOMW: how is the club scene from DJ perspective?
NICK: in the club its hard to get a job without promoting and bringing
out a crowd. and to get an owner or manager to talk to you, you must have a few really hot girls with you all the time. almost like a promoter. this can be lame at times. trying to run tot he door to get your friends in while keeping the energy on the dance floor! the clubs always have a different format of music recommended so fallowing guidelines might be annoying. but to rock a crowd is a great feeling! DJ.ing is fun!
