Ok ok, so it’s not an official Counselor of the Week (C.O.W.) award, but an honorable mention is pretty damn good considering I was only there for five days. It only took me three days, but I did finally get my hands on the Ipod Silly Band, too. My biggest mistake was showing my cards way too early. As soon as I showed up on Monday morning I basically announced to the entire camp that I was desperate for it, which completely diminished any leverage I had. In the end, I ended up having to give a piggy-back ride to a camper to AND from Crystal Lake, which absolutely destroyed my back.
But my biggest contribution to camp definitely came on Friday when Upper Camp had its annual Summer Prom. I walk into the Prom and see counselors fumbling through NOW CD’s trying to find a good dance song. The kids just aren’t having it at all and this rager seems like it will be as much fun as the Mods were last year. Well have no fear children, Mike is here and he brought his iPod with him. So yeah, that’s when I take over as DJ and start killing it on the 1’s and 2’s. I mean just every song was a total jam. Bieber. Derulo. Kingston. Peas. Perry featuring Dogg. All the big names. The only minor hiccup was when I played Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro” and things slowed up a bit. But that’s what makes me different from most DJ’s out there. I don’t think I’m bigger than the game itself. The kids weren’t feeling it, so halfway through I hit ‘em up with Taio Cruz’s “Break Your Heart” and the place went bonkers. I guess that’s why they pay me the big bucks, though.
