Thunderbird Lounge in Tacoma. Been working 7 nights since 94. Well ok, in all fairness, my company is there 7 nights since 94, I only work 4 of the 7 - but need to be on call any night just in case.

Ahhh, I see, the poll is really asking about you "alone", in person, no g/f, no subs, no associates considered.

I guess, in essence then, your poll result should have been 4 times 4 =16. Sorry for my unclearn question.

Well ok, then! lol.
Ah this poll don't allow you to change either.

It also depends on the other host, sometimes I can work as much as 6 days for a month at a time - depends on if my other hosts' band is playing or not. But as a rule, 4 nights a week.

Gee I guess that means I can't vote since there is no 0. I take care of the equipment, but my wife or sister-in-law do the hosting. I just try to keep them out of trouble.

4 shows running each weekend, I do Friday and Saturday. My other shows are hosted by my employees. I do have Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays going on but I just stay at home and be the support team just in case. Plenty of activity for a geezer that's retired.

6 shows per week Monday thru Saturday with LIGHTS - 5 Venues - Just ME...no employees.

That's 24 per month...assuming, as you pointed out, 4 weeks per month.

Pretty cool, GD, how much can you grab for cash per show where you live?

Where do you live?

mathematically, it could actually be 25 or 26 as well.
