BobbyJuniorGiven all the horer storys I here about, I purchased an always air mattress from Walmart. I don't regrette it. Strait up this thing's more bigger an a little more cumfortable than my 5000 dollar tempur-Pedic. Hopefully it lasts longer than a month like other air mats I've used
@djrockmasterrob Why on earth would you want one of those? I guess if you have people over to stay a lot, but even then...
@arqeria Refering to the air mattress, why would I want one, that actually made me think for a second haha. Yeah it's for company sure, but I mostly bought it for when I'm coming in after a lengthy night at the nightclubs bars studio etcetera. Rather than walking into my room after the task of unpacking my gear and unmaking my bed and having to worry about all that, I can plug in, inflate then sleep. The dj business can be quite exhausting. My new sofa isn't wide enough for cumfortable sleeping either, nothing like waking up falling to the floor because you twitched slightly to the left lol. Strait up the mattress is awesome
@djrockmasterrob I honestly would've thought it would take longer to inflate. Personally I just couldn't handle it, those things are murder on my back, I need springs that can properly support me. Can't do memory foam either. Anyway you can always just not make your bed in the morning, it doesn't really make any difference despite what a lot of people may tell you.
@arqeria This is true. yeah I guess I don't have to make my bed, I mean it isn't like I'm impressing anyone, but well, some of the people I have over are kind a looking out for that type of thing. I've gotten a few comments about making my bed, but still, yeah you're rite, they aint the ones using it, and it's just gunna get all messed up anyways.
@djrockmasterrob Anyway even if you do choose to do that, it shouldn't take more than a second to unmake unless you're tucking in the quilt, you don't need to do that, only hotels do that and it annoys the fuck out of everybody who actually has to use them.
@arqeria Ugh my gods send me dancers! I can't tell you how many times I've had to stay at a hotel for a night, I spend more time untucking the damn quilt than unloading my dj gear from the car. And it isn't like I can ask the hotel receptionest, hey, can I get a room with an untucked quilt please? Thanks. Lol. Good point their.
@djrockmasterrob I'd really love to know what on earth you're doing that would make unmaking your bed so complex then. Presumably you've still got a quilt for the blow up mattress, I just don't see how this is remotely helpful for you unless you're literally stripping the thing every day or something.
@arqeria Well, here's a good example. Imagine you do a gig at a club. You arive at 8:00PM to set up for the spot at 9:00pm. You're gear is heavy but you're ready to rock, you got this. You're only set to rock for 4 hours so you're taring down at 1:00AM, leaving by 1:45AM or later. Mind you you've already done a 5 day work week at the job so you're already spent from the week. Anyhow, your ide is set, the scheduling is cool, up until the club manager comes to you 20 minutes before you're finished rocking the place and tells you that you have to rock another 3 hours because the other dj can't make it for reason or reasons go here. He also couldn't find any replacements within that time so you either rock or he boots everyone to the curbe, most likely ruining his and my reputations in the process. You know the guy for years too so you can't ditchim in his time of desperation. Also Note that this isn't a scattered bunch of people, this is a full house and you're night has been Dre day from the Beginning. So now you're stuck at the club and you have to tell your ride that you'll be another 3 hours. So take that 1:45AM and make it 4:45AM. Now you have to take an oober because your ride basicly told you to go to hell for changing the pickup time. By the time you get home it's almost 6 in the morning. When you finally stagger into your apartment after meraculously making it home with your precious gear in 1 piece, which by this time is super heavy and you almost fell and broke your back while bringing it in, the last thing you wanna do is walk the extra 40feet to your bedroom. You leave your gear by the door, half crawl to the bestway always air and turn the knob, laying your head on your arms and catching 3 minutes of sleep before you use the 30 seconds of renewed energy to push yourself up and onto it. That's the last thing you remember before the lights go out
@djrockmasterrob ah. That makes a lot more sense. I can't really imagine doing that, I hate club type atmospheres because my brain just cannot handle loud music, I can't be cut off from the outside world like that.
@arqeria Interestingly, I totally agree with you a million percent. That's another reason why I'm so gone by the time I make it home. I'm nd. My brain is going, nooooooo! I mean yeah the booth does have proper booth monniters so I can ajust the speakers within my space, but you still do get the boom boom bap from the club speakers pretty hardcore anyway. Then their's the moments when you have to hit the food area or the restroom, and you have to walk through all that noise and people and sensory stimuli. And trust me, every club you go to, they could have the finest in airconditioning units in the galaxy. You're still going to roast from the lighting and the equipment and the hundreds of people. you'll have to go for water within the first 45 minutes, and for me, heat is another thing that taxes me
@djrockmasterrob I'm guessing you do at least get something out of it though. Personally I think it would just exhaust me, and having two different tracks playing on different things at the same time would really break my brain unless they were fairly similar, which I guess to a point they would be if you were playing a set but it would still take a hell of a lot of getting used to.
@arqeria Oh yeah. Money to keep the lights on haha. But I've been musicly, musical, since I was born. Grew up in the hip hop r and b funk disco etcetera dj seen, I have family who was into it when I was real young, I could rock a set of turntables at like 5 6 years old. However I actually personally began rocking using casette decks, I remember working village block partys with 2 of those old library for the blind tape players hooked into a radioshack rodery mixer, splitting the signal from the headphone jacks so that I could seamlessly cue tracks without turning the party into an audio disaster. Much more dificult than rocking turntables. But yeah, I guess you can say I'm used to it, however their might become a time when I can't take the audio loads as I get older
