I couldn't resist having fun with this client. The ad was from craigslist. I go on there sometimes looking for stuff to buy or sometimes to see who is looking for a DJ to do an event for them.
I came across this ad saying the client was looking for a non professional DJ to do an event somewhere in New York. Not sure where. I understand the event took place this Saturday at a restaurant. It was a birthday celebration and it was a lot of Filipino people who attended the event. The client was looking for someone to do it for $100.
I emailed them saying for them to tell the truth. You're looking for a desperate DJ to do the event. The event was for 3-6pm. We exchanged emails and I just got this one yesterday saying I'm ignorant because I didn't see this as a business opportunity to get more work. They said they paid the DJ that did it $125 and that a bunch of people attending the event wanted the DJs number.
The funny part for me is that they said it was a famous DJ that did the event. I know the ad was on craigslist and I know in most cases people looking to book a DJ on there aren't looking to spend a lot of money. I know I'm not the most expensive DJ in town or that famous but even I wouldn't have done that event for $100. Now even though we could use more exposure. That to me is ridiculous. If the DJ is that famous what are they doing chasing after such a cheap gig? If they are that famous it looks like to me they would be well above doing a gig for $100. Well at least they got a $25 tip. LOL.
I sent them back a email saying I would tell them I would be there to do the event but for that amount of money I would roll over and go back to sleep. Just couldn't resist having fun with them. I finally said what are each one of those people looking to get the DJs number going to look to pay them $125 each.
