Besides you should have been: 1- done by 2am 2-been DJing in a nice club or 3- had some muscle with you. Also get field gear (cheapeer more rugged backup gear) to use for street gigs and new 'rig' for the apartment or studio. Life in the music entertainment biz is rough as you should know as a New Yorker (hopefully not a poser). If you can make it in NY, like Sinatra said you'll make it anywhere. From BK to BKK I always say(JFK is in Brooklyn). If you haven't been sorted by April's end, I will lend you some rig to get some Baht to get back into good graces with the monitor spirits (it always comes back cuz Karma is my girlfriend). My myspace is myspace.com/jdoubleraps so hit me up. I'll be without my bro or pilot this trip (effin recession) so we may be able to do some gigs(not giks) together.

Thai people are not that accurate. You are lucky you weren't arrested. I would advise you to seek legitimate employment with an entertainment venue. If you are a credible decent entertainment person it should be no problem. They will provide all the equipment you need. One of drawbacks of a basically anarchist culture is nobody gives a damn what happens to you. I imagine when the music stopped...that was about it...and the people just melted away. Go legitimate; get a work permit, proper visa, pay taxes and get paid a salary... and don't leave yourself open for such abuse/arrest etc. You'll learn a lot more about Thailand as well...in comfort and security.

This is valuable advice that everyone should keep it in mind. When people cannot put up with any more, they will erupt like a volcano. They will not tell you that you are pissing them off. In Thailand, people can be tolerant to a considerable degree. Disc jockeying until 5 o' clock in the morning is more than a little bit inconsiderate, don't you think? I feel sorry for your loss, but you cannot ignore the fact that you were being a nuisance at that hour.

It's an attempt at satire, but not a great one. Anyone who believes a tamarind nut can smash a computer monitor must have been sinking too many Beer Changs. Try it. It's a wind-up. He should have saved it for April 1st. I cannot believe all you guys have taken this post seriously. It’s an attempt at satire, but not a great one.
