Happy dance time. Got my first booking off the new "Reservation Form" on my website(s) this morning. The 2nd cool thing was, this is for Photography and a Photobooth, and on a date where I've already got 2 DJ bookings. The really cool part....wifey will be making more than I am that day.
 
Alright .. drinks are on Carolyn! ... which bar?

The raised bar. This is going to be interesting, logistically. She reminded me that I'd promised that on these first dates, I'd contract out my DJ job and go with her. I'll have to shift a DJ from a basic to a DJ+lighting job, then secure another guy for his basic. That morning (5/2), either I or my son will need to install lighting at our local country club then head over to Opryland hotel, where we're shooting. I'll need a photobooth tech at our job and I'll probably be the assistant. It blows me away that, so far, she's bypassing having to shoot at crap venues. Opryland hotel is a prem-o venue and will be an incredible addition to the portfolio. I'm also hiring a 2nd shooter on this gig, even though they've only paid for 1. For these first dates I think it's better to not worry about being profitable as much as it is to make certain we exceed expectations of the clients.

+1 on the Opryland Hotel ... stayed there last April .. nice digs.
 
I've been there too. It is nice. Stayed pretty much under the Jack Daniels restaurant. They still owe me the sauce recipe dammit.
 
I've been there too a few years back great place. Looks like lot's of logistics Rick I'm sure you'll do fine
