I guess I should be happy...and I am, I feel very blessed to be able to entertain for a living.
I just find it odd that so many events I provide entertainment for book me at the very last minute.
Today for example: I booked a DJ gig for an all adult birthday party in Norcross, Georgia. This one is going to be quite interesting as it's a White Trash Theme...I'm sure it's going to be a fun crowd, and it just goes to show the diversity of my entertainment skills. But the point here is that for the past 16 years I have provided entertainment and 1000's of events that have all booked me within a week or less for their event dates. And what gets me is many of them are repeat customers.
Now I guess you could call me the Last Minute Hero as I will certainly save the day when they hear I'm available. But come on, is it really that difficult to plan ahead? I mean most events are annual, so why not book it far enough in advance that you can actually plan accordingly and make it over the top amazing, instead of throwing it together at the last minute and it turning out sloppy.
I guess it is just the way the culture is now a days, but I for one would like to see a change in society. Why be lazy and procrastinate? If you put your mind to doing something, then why not do it to the best of your ability!
At least that is the way I view my business, and that's why I always perform with the utmost level of professionalism.
So what is your opinion? Do you prefer to Procrastinate (or) Do you prefer to Plan?
I guess there is an opposite end of the spectrum, and I do know very well some of those types as well.
For example: A good friend and DJ in Virginia (As a matter of fact the man that introduced me to the DJ industry) is this exact opposite end of the spectrum I'm referring to. His wedding was so perfectly planned you would think he has OCD. I mean if a chair was moved more than 2 feet during the reception I was ready for him to take out his ruler, protractor, and graph paper to redesign his seating chart. Then again his Wedding was nothing short of AMAZING, and exactly what should be expected from a professional DJ. And his wedding was by far the most organized I've ever had the pleasure of performing for.

So I guess my opinion lies with planning, as it really makes for perfect execution.
