Losing Power
I just did a wedding this weekend that was quite interesting. I was the DJ.
The bride and groom changed their first dance song at the last minute to a song that I didn't have. We found a substitute, but it still bothered me, so I looked through my CDs and found an unmarked one that I'd gotten from another wedding. I decided to go through it and to my surprise, #5 was their song!
Later, after the ceremony, we went back to the hotel to discover that there was no power in the building due to a short in the wiring. Ugh. The staff lit candles to eat by and I pulled out all my extension cords, ran them across the room, out the window, through the open lot and into the neighbor's kitchen.
The whole event was like that, but the bride and groom took it in stride and it turned into a success. The power was never completely restored so the guests had to stay elsewhere, but it all was a great experience in rolling with the flow.
