Craziness@Carnivale

Extravagant decor. deep color. crazy dancing. This all characterized the Client Appreciation Party put on by MARSH at Carnivale. Carmel music brought fig in to provide the party atmosphere for the night - fig deejays Alvin Black III and Tim Musho were the designated party providers. Starting things off was an extended funk and motowm set, with a little blues thrown in for good measure. At this early stage in the evening, Alvin and Tim were playing for the fellas in the room - just good, chill music, upbeat enough to bob one's head to, but not necessarily dancing music. During this time, many of the guys in the room complemented the music and wanted more...

After about an hour of chilling out and head bobbing, the coordinator and planner of the event gave a short speech acknowledging a particular client that they wanted to highlight. At this point, fig preparation comes into play - although during earlier phone conversations there was no indication that speeches would be made, but standard procedure has all fig deejays bringing mics all the same, which made this even run all the more smoothly.

As Alvin and Tim get the dance floor packed for the next 2 hours with wild dancing to everything - disco to newest top 40,and quickly the time that they thought they were supposed to end approaches.

The story doesn't end there however...

Unbeknownst to the fig duo, there was an extra hour added to the night, which Alvin announced to the crowd, much to their delight. 1 OT became 3 as Alvin and Tim went another 1/2 hour past the extra hour that had already been added.

Lessons Learned: always make sure to have don't stop believing

Goals Achieved: Rocking Dance party for 2+ hours
