I cant even teach my cat to come when called. Cats do what they want.

My one cat scratches the crap outta my furniture. Hes got his own scratch thing, and i scold him when i see him scratching the furniture. He runs away, knowing he wasnt supposed to be doing that, but continues anyway. Im not going to declaw him, so I guess i just have to get used to ratty furniture. lol

Have you tried a taser lol

I just got undersold for residency at a club because the other guy would "do it cheaper".

Yes, but have you listened to them? Do you realize they have NO following?

Wake the **** up owners/managers/promoters...spend the extra money and get someone WORTH ****ING WHILE in your place, it WILL pay itself off!

...ugh whatever.

personally i'd rather sell myself slightly short to get the gig and get familiar with a company than not get the job at all. networking is a constant business and usually you need to spend or loose some money to make money.

You can DJ my next party if you want. I'll supply food and beer :-)

When its a 4 hour gig, annnnnd you're expected to promote AND pay for drinks AND travel and everything else, and they're happy with your rate...but then someone comes in and offers to "do that and more" for $150...they can suck my cock.

They'll come back when their nightlife falls on its face.

[grimm]

I'm not attacking you james, just trying to share my point of view being that I've been in similar situations and when i was younger had a similar attitude. Now i realize that there are times it is beneficial to swallow some pride and step off that pedestal and under sell yourself just to get in the door. People will pay good money for talent, but it's rare people will pay good money to gamble on someone new.

What were you going charge? was the difference in the pay that much that to make you not do it? I mean I can understand if you charge $500 that $150 is way to low to sell yourself. But if you were going to charge $200, or even $250 i would have sucked it up. I mean ****, $150 although it is less than what you wanted it is still better than nothing.

I understand that there are exceptions and certain circumstances that make things not as desirable to do but... one person is making $150 and more than likely going to get more gigs depending on how it goes and who they network with. Another person lost $150 and the opportunity to be seen and get noticed and possibly score other jobs. '

just something to think about. again i mean no dis-respect.

[james_ls]

Oh I wasn't coming back as if you were coming at me.

I totally get your idea, but for what they want, in the location, with the clientele; its an easy $400 night.

[grimm]

Right on, i just didn't want to come off as some jackass on the web trying to tell someone how they should run their business. But if it would have been a $400 gig then yea $150 is way low and the person that took that on either is really hurting for work, really doesn't know what is being asked of them, or like you said they just suck.

[420sx]

You know what youre worth James, dont sell yourself short. Like you said, theyll be back when their nightlife flatlines.

My buddy used to underbid himself because of competing landscapers trying to take his work.. He'd get the job, but if youre not making any profit off it, what good is the work?

It gets you established if you new, then you hike up prices.
