How do I get out of this?:
A member of the local Moose Club has requested that I do Karaoke there, and has offered to pay my standard fee, which is pretty high for a service organization.
1) Awhile back I purposely cut back to 5 nights per week, and really don't want to do more.
2) Service organizations- at least in my area- are notorious for being great as one time events, but crappy as regular venues.
As you might guess, I DON'T want to do it. Here's the problem:
1) The person asking is a bartender that has helped me, over the decades, get at least 4 or 5 venues.
2) They feel that my rep, which ain't bad in my pond, will help bring in bucks. They also want a disc based host.
I have explained ( despite my anti-MP3 stance :sqrolleyes that the odds are no one will be bothering a private club about downloads and the SC stuff ( which they heard about somehow). They don't care. My helper/friend wants me- period.
Unfortunately, she knows my schedule, so I can't say I'm working. It wouldn't matter anyway, because she says I can choose the night.
Let me be somewhat less than subtle. GET ME THE HELL OUT OF THIS!
What do I tell her?
Thanks in advance.....:sqembarrassed:
