ever REALLY let down a friend?

[z31maniac]

Yeah.

I forgot to leave my buddies ladder out yesterday before I went to work.

850 bucks for a fucking DJ?

I'm in the wrong profession.

My GF does wedding photography... she's inexpensive for our area and her wedding packages start at around a grand... Nice little summer gig she's got going for 2 days worth of work.


Back on topic:

You didn't let your friend down, it happens man. You stepped up big time though.

I think as a kid letting your parents down was the worst feeling I ever got back then.

I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed.

[spike68]

^i hate that.

[Komzorz]

I would front hard. Find a really good mix on soundcloud, download it, put it on the iPod or laptop then take decks and pretend to DJ all night.

Nobody would know.

Boom, just prep something up and bring it. You'll be just as respected as doing the show legit because you still provided the service in the face of absolute catastrophe.

[Mr. Burns]

I have podcasts allraedy prepped etc, but they are nowhere near wedding-friendly.

last thing they'd need to hear is FatJoe hollering at all teh fucking bitches in da' club to get their asses in the air heyy-yooooo

[ethirtydavid]

do NOT mention the equipment failure to either of them. make up stories or create situations and do everything you can to get them to break it off before 2 weeks! gl

I've been let down by who I thought was a good friend. Just turns out he was a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles bitch.

[DaButt]

I think you do the following- I haven't read your whole thread, just trying to help ASAP.

1. As a previous post suggested, attempt to beg borrow or steal the equipment in time to execute the event.

2. If all else fails- tell them as soon as possible. If you wait until the last minute to tell them, you can bank on them being pissed. If you give them a little breathing room in which to react, they'll be bummed, but would much prefer having two weeks to figure shit out than a few hours.

I missed my best buddies wedding because I couldn't afford to fly out to TX and my car wasn't gonna make the trip. I felt like shit.

How could that make you feel like shit?
I mean i know it sucks you cant make it, but its not your fault he lives so far away and you cant affod something like that. Im sure if your buddy is your close friend, they would understand your situation.

[E30_Pare]

Your friend is the asshole. He should of paid for your flight out there :hitler:
