Kyle,
It's been well over ten years since I used YP in any form and yes bar/club gigs are getting a lot more rare these days. The bars where we work continually put adds in the paper, on the radio and from time to time TV spots using our company name so we have probably benifitted from that quite a bit.
We are also a small multi-op (only 4 people full time) and really am not looking to expand in the future. My wife and I have been picking up property over the last 15 years as rental property and with this last down turn in property value (sale prices) are looking to pick up at least two more homes to use as rentals. It seems that as more people have trouble holding on to property it gets easier to get good renters into the places we have available. So we are looking more to that end of the business now and less at the DJing. Although to be honest DJing is what allowed us to purchase the properties that we have now.
I haven't even been to visit in Carolina in 5 years and then it was only for a funeral, and I had to be back that night for a gig so it was in and out.
While I have just purchased a domain name I haven't gotten a web page up yet.
If you get back here give me a hollar and i'll by you and the mrs some barbecue.. im about 50 minutes from statesville.
