SolDios Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Ok, so at the start I had this gig right, then they decided to get another dj in and kicked me out.Then later he gets caught out after curfew and can't do it, so they come crawling back to me, then I take it up.Now for some reason they want me to play again but they want me to share it with him (him 7 till 10 me 10 till 1) and bring all my stuff, they said (WE WILL PAY YOU $10 AN HOUR)Im abit pissed off about it to be honest, for one there treating me like a dog and they have a smacko.so they want to borrow 6k worth of gear, get me to set it up, pull it down and not go home until 1am for $30, but personally its not about the money, im more wanting to turn it down because there "sharing it" for no reason, and im the one doing all the monkey work.so whats your opinion?Edit: Ok they wanted an answer so this is what I replied:Ok, im sorry but im going to have to turn it down, Im not keen on spending $25 on smoke machine fluid, 2 hours work checking everything before I even get to the event, then setting everything up, packing everything up, having all my gear at risk, for $30. Its not too much the money, it's all the effort im going too for 3hrs work.It's just not worth it im sorry.Then she reply's"haha, kThen my final reply was this:I don't get what your laughing about, but have a nice night regardlessKris Quote
Cupe Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 tell them they can pay $30 but you want a 5 grand deposit, refundable after all your gear is returned without a scratchin all honesty i'd tell them to get fucked Quote

awesome88 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 you have to be professional, but not a push over. Sounds like you took care of it well. Tell them you'll let them rent the gear off you for the hours you aren't playing at $100/hr Quote

pundaddy Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Tell the sprouter bitch to suck your dick Quote
chrismak Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 ^ lolThey where a pair of 15yo girls wanting a dj for there joint bday partythat explains a lot. no point getting annoyed at 15yo girls for acting like 15yo girls. seems like you handled it right [edit]part of being a professional is dealing with those who are unprofessional. you'll often be in these situations so you may as well start getting used to it. don't let these kind of people get to you because you'll eventually give up booking gigs because you hate the bullshit.

andyman Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Tell them you want $1,000,000US in a leather briefcase by Monday or they wont live to see their sweet 16th. Quote

Lurk6r Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Wait, so does the other guy even have any gear? Quote
SolDios Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Wait, so does the other guy even have any gear?Nope, he's a dj at a local club, but he doesn't have any of his own gear.One of the girls is trying to convince me to do it, she's getting cross for some reason.so ive replyed:Im not the one in the wrong here, you guys messed me around a fair bit. If your boss called you in and said "Hello were tight on money at the moment, so where only paying you for 3hrs of your 9 hour shift, and your going to have to sit around and do nothing for 3 of those hours" ^ yes, that was inspired by gandy Quote
