Back to bookings. Right now I’m building a data base so I can keep everything in one place and not double book myself or otherwise screw up. Also, I have made acquaintance with Sue DuMond on ....Lopez.. ..Island.... who I am beginning to work with. Sue does promo and other stuff with Alice DiMicele, and if ....Alice.... likes her, well… Sue put together a gig for me in the Lopez grange hall a month or so ago and it was fabulous. I have a good feeling about this.
And! It will force me to become more organized. How is that possible? Well, how many times have I booked myself to far flung places only to find after the fact that I have no record of any of it? No contact names or numbers, no emails. Have to start all over again. It gets old after a while.
So – thank you Sue! We are off to a good start.
And, again.... How many times have I shown up to gigs that I have painstakingly booked for myself only to find that nobody shows up because nobody knew it was on because nobody did any promo? That's a big DUH! for me, all too often.
Anybody else want to jump in….?
