My contract was not as exactly specific as Cap's is but it's close. I'll show you my policies when I get home from my day job and have access to it and can copy and paste it. I'm using a computer at my day job here right now and don't have access to personal stuff like that on this machine.

I had nothing. I gave them a contract. They did not even sign it, said they would get back to me and didn't. Said they would send the deposit, and didn't. Said that they would postal mail it and did not. Everything was provided to them to make it as easy as possible. I even take credit cards...

The reminders were sent through my website planning tools. Which DOES work . What was observed was that as late as last week this couple still hadn't even found a wedding officiant. I know this because of the facebook postings they were making. They really were not interested in "planning"...

The guy was also a service member. That was most of it because we tend to try to look for our own, but he wasn't looking for a whole lot of services, he was on a limited budget (aren't they all? = not really had a budget, just no money. I had no money either and wanted a little something) If...

I just had to cancel the only wedding I would have had this year. I met with the B&G gave my contract, talked about music, talked about the venue , the timeline of events, We talked about weather contingencies because it was outdoors. We were several months out. The client did not put the...

The thing is the people who are my friends are the ones who I move mountains for. I bend over backwards for them. As far as the COC goes, I will likely end up blogging against that mentality because it's not business forward at all and I feel that people need to see this. Once things start...

Driving is an issue, I do have some of that going on. It was before that I had a crappy under performing car that was a yuck bucket. It finally blew up and I got something decent now and can even carry all my stuff in it. I know that there are lots of yacht clubs I dj'd for one at least...

Thought I'd come back and say Hey! It's been an interesting summer and now that Fall is upon us, I've got nothing set up for next year. I made some friends this year and gained a little notoriety, but I'm a afraid that I slit my throat with the Chamber of Commerce. The COC runs just about...

Dreaming about dreams

I would have just kept rolling on with what you were doing because it seems like all you could have done. You know how the people in our town are. I had one dance I tag teamed with another DJ and we had that problem. They would not dance to any of the "Big Gun" songs, we tried a little bit of...

Over the last 17 years I have tried to make being a DJ work, spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on a lot of stuff that was sworn by that turned out to be a crap shoot at best for me. I have always been a firm believer in investing what you have and not what you don't. I made a lot of...

I don't have that many pictures because usually I am there to DJ not be a photographer. I don't really have video much for the same reason and additional reasons like can't upload it anywhere because of copyrighted music. I have had companies like WeDJ and ProDJ try to build me a site, they...

that's been the issue. I don't really know how to introduce myself to a venue without actually working there. Do they even like people bothering them when they see so many of that type anyway?

Man I have been trying all day to get logged into this site. It wasn't happening on my mobile phone. Now I'm on the computer. DJ Art, I sunk the whole Angel Flight Entertainment thing back about 2 years ago. I have been operating under my own name now as wll as moved to a whole different...

You haven't met the traffic yet. It depends on what I need if I really need something bad I will go to the Guitar Center otherwise I would find an alternative way to get it.
