Here's the deal. I did this event for this guy's wife. That was the women's empowerment speaker thing.
So he wanted me to do ths big event in the park that he has for his sons memorial every year. He tried to stroke my ego by telling me how much his wife loved my work. So he thought I was automatically going to do it because of this.
Now I get that the event is what it is and I don't mind helping out but the price has to be right. He wanted me to cut my partner out of the deal because last year the sound was terrible.
So he tried to soup me up telling me how he knows that I got the right sound. He didn't need to tell me that. I already know that.
I found out that last year that he played the sympathy card and got my partner to do it for $250. As my partner explained it to me he got what he paid for. He wanted to teach him a lesson.
So I talked it over with my partner and I was serious about this. I understand it's basically a charity event and that's fine. We weren't looking to kill his pocket because we've done this event for him a number of years in a row. Last year I wasn't involved. All we were asking for was $300 doing a big favor for that price.
For the $300 we were going to give him the 2 Yorkville subs, 2 powered tops and the double 15's on the stage. Now where could he get all of/ that for that price?
This event is all day. He wants you there at 10am to set up and the event isn't over until 7:30pm. He told my partner he can get anybody to do it for $250. We both wish him good luck.
My plan if I don't have a job to do that day is to attend the event so I can have a great laugh! All we wanted was an extra $50. It's not like we were asking for a ton more of money. Also it's not like he doesn't know about our work and how good we are. This is the crazy part. He is looking for the DJ to provide the generator or 2 of them and that's all he wants to pay.
I'm a very nice guy and I lIke to help people when I can but I'm not that damn nice! I guess he'll learn a valuable lesson after this year. Either way we won't be the DJs.
