I put my review of the Peter Merry Book on the Pro DJ site. It is now over 20 pages of "debate". Of course, Peter rambled by and got persnickity.

Pro DJ is a pro Merry site; that is, lots of Peter's cheerleaders are there. What amazed me is that many people were on my side.

Regardless, one of Peter's cheerleaders didn't like the direction I was taking; that is, really and definitively trying to find out if Peter is full or part time and this guy, DJ Teddy Bear, called me a bottom feeder.

There you have it, a fellow part-time DJ thinks I'm a bottom feeder.

Honestly, I work low-end venues in an area where the median DJ price is $625 to $650. I cahrge $600 for my basic rate. Am I really a bottom feeder? And teddy Bear knew that before he slung the mud.
 
I lost interest in the read --- the stuff gets old. Honestly, GoodNight, did you think you could write a review with getting slammed? Regardless if it would have been the best darn review ever.

Besides - Teddy and I go back a few years to the Promo Board. I guess he found a home at ProDj?
 
why would i want to work a gig just to pay Peter for an unrecognized and useless designation?
its strenght in numbers, that why Peter probably hopes that the more DJ's that pay him $900 US, the more he can seem like he makes alot.

Thanks for the link to the other board. After reading that thread, I feel as if I need to take a shower to get the stink off. :sqrolleyes:
 
So Tom, let me get it straight:

You agreed with several things:

"One of the sidebar statements here is “Investing more in the quality of entertainment that you desire fir your reception is not a risk, but rather an investment in the overall success of your reception”. As a DJ that primarily entertains at wedding, I couldn’t agree more. "

"I particularly like the points he made about using a family member or a friend. I had a bad experience with a family member that had never done this before and would caution most brides that want to use a friend or family member with no experience. "

I don't need to continue.. you know what you wrote.

Then you write that this book is garbage simply because you were offended by statements about PT. So an entire book is garbage because you disagreed with one point?

This was nowhere near a thorough review.

"Chapter four is location, location, location. Peter first talks about the ceremony location and then the reception location. I can’t argue with any of the points Peter makes here. I hear about some these things from every bride I work with.

Chapter five is all about the setting; how the environment is set, how much room there is, ambiance, centerpieces, and such. In discussing centerpieces"

No review there. Just a VERY short summary.

Sorry, Tom, but I can tell that you wrote with predisposed to hate Peter anyways. If this book was written by a member here: let's say Dan. And HE said the same points about FT/PT (I know Dan wouldn't, but roll with me here) then I bet you wouldn't have called the book garbage.
 
I just read that whole thread and my brain hurts. :sqerr:

I'm sure glad that I'm here and not there...:sqbiggrin:

Ya mon. If you want to see a REAL review, just check out Amazon and see the glowing review by....Mrs. Merry. Not only is that plain tacky, but also hilarious that all the "friends" she referred to couldn't get on Amazon to review it in their own words. I could see a spouse getting on later after many many more REAL reviews from REAL readers with no connections at all to the author and saying how hard he worked and how proud she was of him, but geez. I'm waiting for his mommy to review it, too.

There. I am reviewing a review! Wow.

Wake me up when Oprah reviews it. I only read what she tells me to read. :)
