booking work.

I got holes...

In the schedule. Trying to get some filled in with good stuff. We just got an few extra days in the Atlanta area due to a nice gig that came in so I have even more creative thinking to do.

A flurry of emails and not quite enough coffee and no breakfast yet have me wondering what to do first. I'm out here on the porch with the adorable Eliza (kitty) and Natalia (human) working on what the hell to do to make this Oct/Nov run work best. It rarely pays to just take something because it's there. In fact that was alot like really choosing clients when I was in real estate. You don't want to work with just anyone or just for the paycheck. At least I didn't... I just couldn't the few times I took clients because they were there I paid spiritually and emotionally. There is no amount of money worth your sanity or self-worth.

Same holds true here.

Good challenges though... and it makes me want to call folks I know who are real live booking agents and get feedback. I should be studying what they do anyhow. That's the one thing I try to do in my downtime is continually look where to put Trina in good venues and on bills that make sense while hopefully moving her up.

Add onto that trying to route it in a smart fashion.. well... hell.. that's a bunch of thinkin'!

So... the SE area is my focus this morning...

AL
GA
FLA
SC
NC

and then routing back via the mid-atlantic region...

Ok then!

Go!
GA
