Producer Brandon's Mobile DJ Gig In South Lake Tahoe
December 9th, 2008
As some of you may have heard, I have a mobile DJ business on the side. Since Rob pays me more than I'm worth, I spend most of the money on booze and audio equipment. So I thought, why not make a little extra cash on the side and party at the same time? Starting out with middle school dances and weddings, I finally got my "big break" to work a Disco themed party for a local dental office. Sound lame? Think again! Free room in Tahoe, free booze, and a chance to make some extra dolla-dolla billz y'all!!! So here's a look at my trip to Tahoe with my "drunk-ass" girlfriend as my lovely assistant.
 
Here we have my cat, Einstein, trying to help me move my equipment out of the house. He really wasn't much help at all, he ended up falling asleep on the gear.
 
Before I could get on the road, I had to pick up some cables for my sounds system. What better place to find some "free" cables than at a radio station?!
Here is my "drunk-ass" girlfriend and I just before we pulled into Tahoe.
And I had to take a dump... Hey! When nature calls... You gotta holla back!
  
The dental office put us up in the swanky Embassy Suites in Tahoe. It turned out that we were the first to stay in this newly remodeled room.
No room is complete without a mini fridge stocked with at least one bottle of booze. We knew that most drinks would be free, so we only packed a fifth of vodka.
Every floor had their own catchy "Do Not Disturb" signs... This one just happens to read "Pillow Fight In Progress". Whatever.
Before I went to setup my gear for the big Disco party, we ordered room service (which was comped as well) and our meal consisted of french fries and terrible buffalo wings. I found some fat bell boy and gave it to him as a tip the next day.
The setup is almost complete, now it's time to get back upstairs to drink.
Ironing + Alcohol = A bad idea and possible 3rd degree burns.
  
When my "drunk-ass" girlfriend does what she does best, she gets trigger happy with the camera...here's a look at what mostly fills up our digital camera.
Got to have a backup flask on hand just in case the free drinks stop flowing.
More of the "drunk-ass" girlfriend getting drunk. She has to live up to her reputation.
 
To those of you who actually listen to the DJs on our flagship station in Sacramento after 10am, this guy might look familiar. It's Joe Maumee and his wife dressed in their usual weekend threads.
  
More alcohol, better dance moves. The picture in the center is my rendition of the douche bag that walks in the party, and asks out loud, "Where's the party?!"
 
Just to prove that it was a Disco themed party we've got the disco ball... and a conga line?
 
I don't know what's worse, that these tools actually wore these outfits or that they own a Bedazzler to make them.
  
Classy action shots and more booze!
This is what I saw every time I turned around to check on my "drunk-ass" girlfriend. She's so cute.
 
It's all a little hazy, at this point we'd had over a dozen cocktails and at least 4 glasses of wine.
 
One of my favorite things about Tahoe is that there's always a place to get french fries to satisfy those late night munchies.
 
The next morning, I found some Christmas tree decorations in one of my equipment bags. They sure look like the ones that my "drunk-ass" girlfriend was admiring on this tree the day before. Hmm...
Since I don't pay my "drunk-ass" girlfriend with the money that I earned, I give her merchandise from the RAD Superstore. I hope Rob doesn't see any irregularities in the inventory.
