Dipping my toe

[bjswaim]

The low pay from the bars is why I no longer do bars, unless they pay my rate, which is $125 per hour with a 4 hour minimum, which comes to $500 per gig. I will occasionally get a one-time job at a bar for a special party. But, my business focuses on private parties, which I have no problem booking at my rate. I can do as little as 2 private parties per week for an income of $1000 instead of 5 bars per week for a grand total income of $750. The math just doesn't add up for me to do bars, as you can see. My time, talent, investment is worth much more to me. I will not give it away.
