My no go zone is basic and simplified. I will not take any event where I cannot be 100% successful. Any shortcomings I feel during the interview process are discussed at length to ensure we (the clients and I) are on the same page.
My horizons have expanded dramatically by taking on events that push my limits, knowledgebase, and comfy levels BUT only if the confidence level is stronger than the fear of disaster.
There are a few locations where I will not even consider performing. Some due to absurd loading restrictions and setup locations. Some due to jackoff ownership. All are counterproductive to a stellar performance.
My absolute biggest NO GO is extensive must playlists. Buh bye to any and all of those types. Yes, I know. It's their day (blah blah blah) but it's my career. Every event performed is a live audition for maybe two more down the road.
Nobody puts Cappy in the corner.
