I was playing records at the afterparty of a festival somewhere in The Hague.. In the beginning of my set, an obviously drunk english guy comes up to me and asks me what I will be playing. I say, funk, soul, disco and more general well known feel good party music. So he says to me: "cool, can I request a song by the Trammps".. I told him I didn't have any Trammps tracks with me, but plenty of similar Philly disco stuff, so he should be enjoying himself. For some reason, that isn't satisfying him, so I am going into ignore mode and let the guy babble on while I put on records.
Apparently he didn't like being ignored, it pissed him off so much that he wrote a little note and gave it to me. It read "If you claim to be a disco deejay and do not have any Trammps songs, than you are a fake wannabe mtv poser". I looked at him, ripped up the note, threw it towards him and went back into ignore mode. But I was pretty pissed off, I mean, going to the trouble of insulting me on a written note?! wtf.
The whole night was a lot of fun and the crowd was pretty enthousiastic about the stuff I played. When I was done, some four hours later, the guy that gave me the note was still there, smiling like he'd had a great night. So I packed my gear, and told the people I was with to look after my gear for a minute, as I was going to pick a fight. And so I did, I went up to the guy, told him very clearly what I thought of his behaviour and that I would beat the crap out of him if he would be man enough to go outside. It didn't come that far as I got immediatly noticed and kicked out by the security. Bummer. I wish it could have been "The Night the Lights Went Out" for the asshole.
