Back when I had a horrible collection (as opposed to the relatively acceptable one I have now), I spun once while really loaded. While not a total nightmare, it was bad enough that I won't have more than a few drinks before a shift.

Organizer wants to make me happy: Headphones. For the love of god, I know I'm sometimes the only DJ at an event who uses CDs, but please let me make double-sure it's the right version I'm thinking it is out of 42 different ones.
