    Default A Weekend Full Of Gigs

    Hi guys
    Had my first official paid gig last night...
    $30 for two hours.. wasn't nearly my best, but it was passable.

    I played earlier today.. 2 hours as well... Except I had to play this corny halloween music. To me it was like nails scraping on a chalkboard.

    Anyways, I'm playing later today as well.. another 2 hours worth... hopefully this set will be the best..

    The S4 has held up amazingly so far

    I also have guaranteed residency at least one night a week..
    It's rather cold though because i work at an Ice Rink

    I do need to up the rates, and I will eventually, but i'm riding off the rink's terrible PA and alright lighting system...

    Yeah, hourly rates for performers and djs should be much higher. I think fair wage is $75 an hour. $30 wouldn't cover equipment and music expenses.
