How many gigs a month are you performing at this time?

[bryant]

Keeping in mind that not all gigs are weekly, some gigs are random calls, some average one a month at certain places, and some are twice a month.

And assuming precisely 4 weeks in a month, how many Karaoke gigs do you host in one months time.

[Lonman]

Well don't know if 1 club 7 nights would classify as 1 or more than 24?

Lonnie:
Are you saying you host nightly karaoke shows every night of the week? Karaoke 7 nights a week, wow, what club is this?

Just curious?

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.

[Lonman]

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.

One of my hosts quit so I am back on 5 nights so I am in the 20-23 catagory for myself.

Doing about two nights a week basically. But I count one spot as just one even though I do two nights a week. Man this stuff gets tougher every year and heavier too! I've become a night owl and booze hound. Only in America. God Bless this wonderful place we call home. Oh, and also my brother and partner who doesn't drink and always drives...

Yeah, know what you mean, he sounds like my g/f.
always drives, never drinks anything, not even water.

8 shows a months and 50-60 hrs per week at my regular "gig" as a retail store manager.
Plus 3 kids still living at home and a VERY understanding wife.

I'm glad to see that some of you can make this go, without impacting on your regular job. Hoorah....

I like seeing some people who swing a daytime job like myself , can supplement their income considerably.

Not sure how to take that. This is my business, I make more at it than I did at my daytime desk job. Since I turned it into full time work, I couldn't do my desk job anymore. If it was just a part time job to supplement, yes i'd agree & I did that for years. Now it's a full time business.
