New job?!?!

Sort of.

It falls under the header of the "entertainment industry". Details are still fairly sketchy at the moment as the clear cut outline of the job is, well, rather preemptive.

The first self promoted show is slated for early summer. One of the biggest aspects that I would like to clear up personally, is establishing this a bit more seriously. The problem is that if I go about this the wrong way, it could take the fun out of it for them.

Using this platform, I'd like to see an integration method done here. We could promote local bands at the same point (ala battle of the bands format) in between set changes. In this manner, we can charge admission to patrons and an entrance fee to those wishing to promote themselves at the same point. The bands get to have fun getting themselves out there, the guys still get to go out there, the crowd gets to have a good time and the business actually makes a profit.

Of course, there comes one small hypothetical problem: How to keep the event clean. The solution of course is simple: we are already friends with bouncers and my real job required me to have a basic knowledge of security anyways. Regretfully, the only way to get people to come in is to have alcohol available on the site (which is going to be painfully awkward as 3/4's of the company doesn't drink.) So by segregating the drinking and non-drinking sections, we'll be able to include all possible target demographics.

Okay, maybe I'm going a bit over board here. However, he's already spent thousands of dollars on dj equipment (literally, the speaker that came in on Friday costs $3000 alone.) He intends to buy a license to do this professionally and intends to rent out the hall in order to preform for friends. Why wouldn't it make sense to open this up to the public then so that you actually see a return on investment?
