Yeah this cat sounds like someone I would stay away from. The money's not that great to worry about the "issues"....
There is NO event with 4 famous singers that is going to hire YOU for $300 ... unless they're just East Orange famous.Here's the thing. My friend called me yesterday and we talked. This guy is planning on having another big event in July at the Elks Lodge in Orange, NJ. The plan is to have four singers that are famous that everybody knows come in and perform. Along with a dance. My friend wants me to be the DJ to do it this time. It's a lot of work for that one day. You have to be there at 11am to setup and the performers will come in to rehearse what they are going to do. After that get dressed and wait for the start of the event. My friend doesn't feel like doing it this year. He just wants to observe.
Now the question is can I do it. Of course. The thing is will I do it. It would be great exposure. Now the setup to do this event has to be serious. At least 4 corded microphones and the 2 wireless microphones. As far as the gear we would use 2 subs, the 2 Yamaha DSR 115's tops and dual 15's to complete the setup for this event. Oh yes of course we would have to use the mixing board.
So my plan is if he does that party in the basement at Level 10 do that and then decide if I want to do the big event. Like I said me and my friend talked last night and he basically threw the gig in my lap. I thanked him for the compliment.
You missed it big time. What you're talking about is for the event he is planning to do in July. So he will have 4 singers for that event. The one where he said he would pay me $300 is different. The other event will be more money than $300. 2 separate events.There is NO event with 4 famous singers that is going to hire YOU for $300 ... unless they're just East Orange famous.
So a regular MIXY post. I will clarify. He is going to do one low paying job to get another low paying job because it will get him seen. He got this from another DJ friend who has decided he didnt want the job because he is a millionaire and doesn't need the work either. Not because it is a low paying job for long long hours.I am soooo confused ...
What is "this guy's" contact info?
I'll send him a visual that should provide sufficient input:

There you go with your ego and idiot response again. Shut up until you know what you're talking about. Stop assuming things. You know what they say about assuming!So a regular MIXY post.

Mike this guy wants me to do the job to see me in action. He hasn't asked my friend at all if he even does the event.Evidently, the job is more hassle than the $300 paycheck...
and there is a very good chance you won't get paid...at all.
Your "friend" is not complimenting you by giving you a job...
he is pawning the job off on you because he doesn't want it.

You missed it big timeThat is sooo unlike Mix ...
Jimmy I have a question for you and please don't take it as a personal attack on you and what you do. What would be the price you charge for 5 hours to do this event he is possibly planning on doing an event in this small room in the basement of this club? I will show you something and like I said nothing against you.So a regular MIXY post. I will clarify. He is going to do one low paying job to get another low paying job because it will get him seen.

Someone permanently sever Chuck's posting hand.Hold on, I gotta sexy pic of me........
Please Jimmy hear me out before you let your ego get in the way. Your price for an event like this is 4x times the amount this guy wants to pay. I'm not saying you're not worth it. So please don't take it personal what I say here.If I was contacted for a 5 hour job on a Saturday night for Just DJ and no lights for a non wedding party my base price would be $1200.00. Also I would require a 25% deposit, a signed contract and payment in full two week prior.
