What to look for when booking a gig?

[Cid_cat]

I kinda like some of the threads being posted....

I KJ for a living and have only a few things that I look for when booking gigs. I love a high ceiling. I look for a nice arrangement of the bar, stage, front door and bathrooms. My biggest requirement is CARPET. The venue must have carpet on the floor.
Lack of carpet not only looks cheap but it alters the sound.

Just a note...charge what you're worth...not what everyone else is charging. I'm on the expensive side for my service but I still get offers and shows. When you're good, people notice.
