Going along with Moose's comments, DJ'ing is definitely a hobby for me - have a 40 hr/week day job which I actually enjoy so I mainly dj for the fun of it, and my goal/what would make me happy is to get a gig/the odd gig a couple times a month in the spring and summer in the downtown area near where I live.
Thought about it overnight, and realized that $300 (and a free ticket in for the gf) would be a point I would find comfortable to give up the night and make it happen. I think it is reasonable so going to throw it out there to the organizers of the event and if they can do that then cool, if not, I wont sweat it and Ill go do something else and have a blast as well. One of the cool things also is that most of the people going will be in my extended social circle so it's definitely an opportunity to gain a lot of exposure which I'll factor in as well.
Thanks for the tips guys! I'll be sure to post the results or what happens and maybe some shots of the night as well.
Cheers!
