A prospective wedding DJ company called me tonight, and the dude kept me on the phone for over a half an hour. I'm not sure if he thought making me miss Joey (ok, it was being TiVoed, so technically, I didn't miss any of it, but he made me PUT OFF my Joey viewing)so he could play me a shitty cassette tape with vignettes from such shitty Canadian artists as Bryan Addams and Celine Dion was a GOOD selling tactic, but if he did, he was drastically mistaken. My portions of this conversation went something like this: We don't want a FANTASTIC light show. Why would we pay you for 6 hours when we only need you for FOUR?! Look, I wrote down what we could afford on the form. Can you do karaoke? How much will you cut off the price if the DJ can eat for free and bring a date? How much will you cut off the price if I say the DJ can wear jeans and show up stoned out of his gourd? No, I don't think I'd characterize any of the bridesmaids as "easy". No, not "desperate" either. Yes, some might be called "hot". Email that quote to my fiancee, we'll stay in touch. I talked the cokehead down to $400.00.
