Got a requst for a wedding ($550) for this August 17. Happens all the time, we have zero advertising, don't want more work (but can handle a little more during summer) on a permanent basis.

Just for the record, if I may boast a bit

During my Sunday night show, a new restaraunt and bar one building away (new place), asked if I was available on Monday nights, last week I spoke with a bar owner up the street who wants to get karaoke running again (last guy couldn't bring in a crowd last year) about Thursday nights. That would make me seven nights a week at 5 different places within a mile from my home. Gotta love it!

DOn't get locked into 7 nights unless you need the money - do it too long & burn out will set in VERY fast, 2 nights off is a nice break - or if you do you may consider a host (if you don't already have one).

Thanx, Lon, I've been doing three weekday nights with a full time teaching job during the school season, thought I might make a few extra bucks over the summer, however, when summers over, I plan on dropping the Sunday and Tuesday gig (The Monday one will phase out on its own, Monday is bad night around here), then maybe keep the Wed. and Thurs. (if it succeeds) next school season. Those two nights are much easier as they are toward the end of the school week.

But you're right, seven nights is crazy for a long period of time, and I don't need the money that bad.
