I figured more of us were hosting our shows with two people. This may be another benifit to using Hoster, keeps labor cost low.

I started using a Keyspan remote control ($35) a few months ago. It is real handy for walking out in front of the mains and adjusing the vocal/music level by raising and lowering the volume of the music. It's also nice when my amp/mixer has to be facing away from me.

I found I can't use it in one club because there are too many radio waves in the building but I use it everywhere else.

Is anybody else using a remote control to help run their show?

2 hosts are a must for one of our shows here in whistler. from the time we walk in the place its 160 ppl capacity, with a line up to get in till about midnight till people start giving up ( this is on a monday night) karaoke night here is somewhat of a legend here. another one of our shows is at a large night club that has large bands on the weekends (so the stage is fantastic). we run a "snake" from the stage back to the well gaurded, nice set up DJ booth near the back of the club, so we are always in front of the speakers. one really cant properly mix sound behind the P.A. speakers. there is a mic in the booth and we run the show from there. when a singer takes the stage they are up there by themselves with the spotlight. there is a large dance floor and many nights we play a lot of dance music as well-whatever the crowd wants we give-sometimes no dance music. not as busy as the other show, but still well over 100 people by 11pm. our sound is pushed out by 2 sets of yorkville elite 2000's.

Bob,
It sounds like you run one heck of a show! So you will be making a "Two Peoplw" vote?

Thanks for the great input.
