rate of pay around the country.

This is interesting.. I've so far got about 1-1/2 grand, into my equipment, (powered mixer, speakers, monitor(video & audio), copmuter, cables, etc. etc. etc.... I've even got a $70 set of JBL Pro 4343 speakers, which will make even a large room uncomfortably loud with crystal clear sound) I still don't have my stage or lights, but they're in the works..

Anyway, (I digress...) after putting all this money & effort into my system, I expect to be in the $100+ hourly range. In Central Florida.. We'll see... I guess there's always bankruptcy... Any time you see a cheapo rig working for $75 a night, get drunk & "accidentally" spill your Long Island Iced Tea right in the vent holes...:-)
