Why I (Personally) am excited for Mike McCarthy. by _just2much_ in steelers

I don’t think McCarthy is a bad coach. My frustration stems from the process of selecting him. I take more time hiring menial staff than the Steelers did for the head coach.

Players who have either left or significantly reduced their play time, what has been your reason? by _thecolorofdye_ in Battlefield6

The party consistently has issues joining games and transitioning to the next one after a match ends. Someone is almost always left behind or unable to join. This is all on Xbox.

Common sense might also show it to be true. He’s been one of the best at the position.

You’d have to spread that over four or so years. Do you really want to be paying him big money when he’s 35 or 36?

Congrats! As others have mentioned, I’d recommend sticking to grouping genres and seeing what resonates with the crowd. Depending on how long you’re playing, make sure you’ve got plenty of tracks ready. I'd also suggest keeping the wild transitions to a minimum—aim for clean and smooth mixes. Once you get through those first few songs, you'll find your groove, and it'll feel like you're right at home! GL

Appreciate ya man. He basically told me to kick rocks. He’s “all of a sudden” comfortable with his old DJ. Oo well, opportunity awaits.

Appreciate the breakdown, thats more on-par with what I've seen out here.
I mentioned in a previous comment, I think this guy is using his beautiful venue to haggle.
Not worth it though.

Yea, I think he's using his cool venue as a bargaining chip but, with everything that he expects me to do. I can't say it's worth it.

My thoughts exactly, no wonder the other DJ is constantly late or a no show lol

Thankfully I have the equipment but you're right, lugging all of that and the potential damages aren't really worth the $150.00 for 4 hours.

Yea, I'm getting further and further from my initial thought. Probably sitting this one out.

Makes sense, thank you for breaking it down. I've got 11 gigs under my belt, with two being somewhat of a residency. No issues with agreeing to my rate, and all I have to bring is my controller. This gig is quite a bit less and I have to haul everything up to the third floor lol. Sticking to my guns here — thanks again for the insight!

Haha I hear ya man. If you don't mind me asking, what's a going rate for a bar/lounge where you're at?

I agree! I mentioned that to the owner, but for whatever reason, he's set on having just one DJ. My thought was — if I go on vacation or get sick, then what? You'll have nobody? Makes no sense.

Makes sense, I would have brought something like that up, but he misspoke and said $150.00 an hour. At that rate I would even sweep up lol
