djmikedr Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Back in October a friend mentioned her promoter-friend was looking for a DJ for his holloween party. I followed up and we clicked right off the bat regarding what was needed and what I could provide. All that being said and done when it came down to money there was a difference in views. For 5 hours, in CT, full sound system including wireless mic, I ended up doing it for $150 as a favor to my friend, & as a good faith gesture as this promoter was telling of all the industry people who were going to be there to meet, hand out CD's and I'm sure you've heard this story before.The night comes: I literally tore the place apart. From beat 1 to the last I had that place under my control. So much so 1 DJ opted to NOT go on, and the other kept handing me back the tables praising me. In 14 years THIS party was the best I've ever played. Absolute perfection. The promoter himself came up to me just 1 hour into the party, dropped his jaw and told me that I was "fucking amazing" and how everyone was coming up to him asking who I was, Not to mention how in awe he was when it was all finished. Afterwards people even stopped me in the street and at a diner asking if I was the DJ that night.He called me last week regarding a booze cruise in May. Again citing all the wonderful benefits of doing this party for him. I told him that I did him the favor last time, proved what I can do and actually recieved nothing out of last time as far as promotions and that this time I must be paid. (And I still only quoted him $500)I just heard from my friend they found someone for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
