Hi all,
Just thought I'd share my experience from the weekend. Sat night gig I was performing at the Sky city convention centre, its the only 5 star rated centre in Auckland apparently... anyways it was a blast. My set was only 45mins long because of the retro group that were performing all the disco hits and I ended up being just a filler to end the night.
I can't say that I've seen many elaborate displays but the staging and light setup was ridiculous. I ended up hooking my mixer up to the sound system that the performing band also had as well as my own... I tell you, it was straight ridiculous.... I LOVED IT, even the dance floor lit up with the coloured lights! I also realised the nuo4 has a double output which worked out well :)
Anyways on a sader note, the previous night at the same venue which I fortunately wasn't performing but one of my fellow dj's was, a woman fell from the stairs and died on the scene. Apparently she tried sliding down the rail and slipped off plunging 5 metres and sliding down another set of stairs on her head. Scary stuff I must admit... I definitely hope I don't come across fatal incidents during my gigs.. as a matter of fact anytime (touch wood).
Hope everyone else had more positive experiences!!

Holy shit, A fatality
We had one of those at the club I work at, It was before my time at the bar, so I only heard about it second hand.
Basically - one punch fight - one kid hit another , both were quite drunk and the one who got hit had his head bouce off the dancefloor tiles, He passed of a brain hemorage. The medical examiner could not figure if the punch or the impact with the floor caused the internal bleeding.
And New Years Eve is almost Upon us.
