I just came back from yesterday talking to this owner of this lounge in Orange, NJ about the possibilities of me playing there. My friend that played in the lounge that closed down played there one Thursday for the owners wife's birthday party on a Thursday. I covered for him in the place he is playing at now. He said he doesn't plan on staying there much longer because this owner makes excuses as to why he can't pay you all the money due to you at the end of you playing.
I used to play there as well but gave up playing there because of this issue. I covered back to back Thursday's in this place because of our friendship. I really wanted my friend to get the spot in this other lounge because I don't like the way he's being treated in the place he's in now. People been telling this stupid owner for him to get the stuff that people like to drink and they will come there and hang out. He's too stupid to understand the concept. Anyhow enough about that asshole.
My friend insisted I go to this other place and put my bid in. I went there yesterday and met the owner. He said he was looking for a DJ to come in and play on Thursday's. He wanted the DJ to play oldies and some Blues. That's too easy for me. They have a booth to setup your gear. Not a big place but nice inside. The place was remodeled. The one issue in this place are the speakers in the place. They only have one good speaker in the place and that's a QSC speaker. The rest are cheap Bose speakers that were made to use with the jukebox.
The owner said he had to talk things over with the other owners and he would call me. My question is how long would you wait for this owner to call you before you would go back up there to speak to him again if he doesn't call?
