Hey Cap, at least you have one event per month! I had zero in January, and zero in February. That is typical for me though. 2022 was the first year I had an event in February since 2014!
2022 was a very busy year...in fact too busy for me along with working full time when it came to the fall, but this year seems to be the opposite at least so far. My sister is busy this Spring, but she is also taking work from 4 different companies at the moment, and I managed to ween myself away from sub contract work except for 1 source over the years. I simply do not like letting others enjoy the fruit of my labor unfairly. Many people here disagree with me on that, but I believe there is a point to where people are simply being greedy. I did not become a DJ to make other people a lot of money. Sure I can help when others are busy, or help them be successful with their business in an advantageous partnership, but don't take advantage of me just because you have a client that is ready to book and you can provide them with an agreement. The DC/MD/VA area is full of people like that in this business. It's "What can you do for me, and how much can I get out of you?". That's the MO with most of them in this business, and I honestly checked out from playing that game over 5 years ago.
