Agree with all the others who say the show starts at starting time.

Also, if you show up at start time and the KJ makes you cool your heels for a half-hour before starting the show why would you ever show up early? I have noticed that shows that start early or right on time tend to have singers start showing up earlier.

Lon, how early do you get to your show? I get to my show about 1 to 11/4 hour early (I set up the day before), and they attack me like piranha the minute they see me and I too have several slips on my rig. I only have a couple of singers that want to be first so that spot is open, but the next spots are fiercely defended

I wish I had film of last nights show.

I arrived 2 hours early just to catch up with regulars and friends because I had someone cover my shows last weekend so I could cover other shows. At 7:30, there was myself, a local, and the bartender in the bar. Not completely unusual except it was a very nice day in Seattle today, so I expected a few more people to be out and about.

I have a brand new laptop for this show, so I started setting up at 8pm (about a 1/2 hour earlier than usual) just to make sure all was well. I realize that I forgot to activate Karma, but that was the only tech issue I had.

The bar remained empty until 9:10 (show starts at 9:30) with just myself, the bartender and 2 other folks. At 9:10, the masses arrived - 2 birthday parties and a going away party. All of the parties had regulars that know me and the show which is why they came out to celebrate.

The bar went from 4 people to capacity in 10 minutes. It was literally like watching one of those gags where you see the clowns streaming out of a Volkswagen except it was a steady stream of people filling the bar for 10 minutes. We had to do last call a little early to ensure we could get everyone out in time.

GREAT night!

Chris, That is what used to happen to me quite frequently....... 2 bar owners ago. If you are like me I bet you had a hard time getting to sleep because of all the fun.

Just a heads up guys - accounts now include 8 rigs as standard, with one Requests login for all your DJs - they simply select which venue they're at when they log in.

So you can run exclusive shows (each receiving their own requests) in up to 8 venues at any one time.

I am going to check it out then!

Nice to see another company that listens and tried to adapts to their user requests. I may have to check this out as well! Even though I only run the one venue, I like that you keep your mind open to adding new features!
