I played a party for crazy dave

using cds....

the first fuckup that i did, I got worried.

That lead up to more and more and more fuckups.

If you fuckup, just take it as nothing. just keep playing.

You want to do a good show.

The crowd wants you to do a good show.

And that the only bastards in the audience who really even notice if you wreck a little or dont do something perfect are the other DJs in the room - and they've all done it before (or are still doing it) so they can eat shit if they say anything about it.

Of course, if you start wrecking like mad and you're about to break down and cry, the crossfader to one side, a deep breath, and a mindset to start all over again really helps - dont try to pull out of it.

haha. Really.. it's true

~Practice does make perfect, or better.
~self confidence

Once on the stage(for me) after about 5 minutes i get used to a crowd, get to know them, and feel comfortable. And having a body up there too, may help.
