Assuming a 4 - 6 hour new years eve gig, how much did you make?

Every place I know (even in Maine) will reward their employees somewhat for exceptional work. I say employee, as you are there 7 days for 14 years. That's more than I spend at my regular job.

But then again, if your not doing it for the money, and they sense that, they keep it.

Why, they don't charge their customers anything more on NYE. The customers just come in, they could go down the street & pay a $5-10 cover charge just to walk in the door for nothing more. Again, for me personally, if I wasn't already working, yes I would charge more, but since it fell on my regular night, there was nothing different about it to me, except that I could do a little more dj work which is no big deal with my dj program, just program it & let it play. Otherwise it was a regular night to me. There was nothing they needed to 'sense' about it. And yes I AM doing it for the money, it's my only job - same place for 7 nights a week for the last 14 years!!
