I have been battling those 75-100 dollar a night folks here too. These people really piss me off. I remember a few months ago I walked into a show near my house and saw the KJ sleeping behind the booth! Needless to say I walked out of that club with 2 nights a week at 150 but two weeks later the owner tried to talk me down to 100 because thats what sleeping ugly was charging him a night. After a heated discussion, I walked out. It was a shame, because I could have made him a ton of money. But I will Not work for less than 150. I offer a hell of a lot more than these clowns that are charging 75-100 a night. One thing I have started doing is "making friends" with these 75-100 a night people and educating them on what they can really make. I have finally gotten through to two of them around here and they are now charging appropriate fees and thanked me for it. A lot of them do it out of ignorance of what they can actually get as opposed to maliciously undercutting the competition. What we need to do is educate these lowballers on what to properly charge, and it will make it easier for all of us to get what we deserve.
