For me this is someting that is really hard. I mean when a DJ in the area onlt charges $100.00 a night then this is something hard to really try and figure out. DJ's around here go anywhere from $500.00 a night to $1500.00 a night. Bars pay for it. Also if he likes you and says you are worth it then he should have no problem paying the $350.00 now and not 8 weeks down the road.

I would tell him it has to be $350 now you have already told me I am worth it and you like my services so why do you need to hold that extra $25 for 8 weeks. He is being a cheep skate to me. Thing is if he wants your quality work which he seems to like he should have no problem what so ever now to pay what you are asking now.

If he dont go for the $350 then you still have Sunday night and it will be his loss. You seem like you really do not need to pick these two nights up but it should be fair to you if you are going to pick them up for him and after being there as long as you have you should not have to take a cut like he is trying to make you take right now. All in all you are not his employee you are a contract for hire and he should pay what you ask for and not what he decides to pay you. Now if you were working for him with HIS equipment that would be different. You however need to make some sort of a little profit to keep your songs up to date and to keep adding. To keep your system in top running shape. To be able to repair or replace anything that might break.

Is this so called DJ that plays up there an Ipod DJ? Cause really I dont know any real DJ with a system that can afford $100.00 a night lol.

But no I would not accept him cutting off $25 for 8 weeks when he already says your well worth the money. If you are well worth the money he would pay what you are asking.
