I couldn't sleep all Friday because of it, but co-workers who I messaged on facebook said no, don't worry about it. Anyway it sort of maybe confirms my pschic vision prediction about seeing Revis suited up for the Baltimore game that I had a few weeks ago...maybe I'm tuned in to some other level at this time in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Just saw the news in the football forum and came here to confirm. Damn bro, that sucks. Are there other restaurant/bar scenario's in the area that you could talk with? You've got to have a good following you can barter with Jim, you're a gifted entertainer and great guy. I'd suggest taking the band you play with and booking clubs, but thats stuff for younger guys than us to do for a living. When we play out at a bar/club on a weekend night - my head usually doesn't hit the pillow till 4am and that doesn't make for much of a next day anymore. Plus, I've yet to meet a booking agent(at the club level) that wasn't a scumbag and crook and those types control a lot of that business. Something will absolutely work out bro. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and doing the right things and it will all be good. Most importantly, remember Coach Westhoff's story about the devil and discouragement - it's the absolute truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visajets Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Id rob that place blind. Next time the owners showed up they would think they were in an empty place.

This economy is miserable, everywhere I turn people are losing their jobs and unable to find suitable replacements they choose to stay on unemployment rather then take a lower paying job.

JiFtheOracle Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sorry to hear that SFJ, you'll find your spot and start new memories. That's a good attitude. This economy is miserable, everywhere I turn people are losing their jobs and unable to find suitable replacements they choose to stay on unemployment rather then take a lower paying job. This country is in bad shape.. I see this every day. People we talk to during negotiations of their rate, if they make less than unemployment, they dont go for the job. If I'm not mistaken, its illegal too...but whatever, things need to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 So I picked up my first post-Nicole's gig this Saturday night-working on a few other places. I used to be really good at booking myself all over town and thought I'd forgotten how to do it since I had a steady gig for the past almost decade-it's like riding a bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Great to see you're getting new gigs. Did the place have regulars - do you know where they'll go? Still hard to fathom how a bar could close in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hard to fathom how a bar could close in Florida. Yea they usually have bands on the weekends Jer but I guess a band must have cancelled on them. As for places closing down here-the economy down here is almost as bad as it is in Michigan-especially on this side of Florida-there are empty houses everywhere. times are really tough right now in the Sunshine State-worst that I've ever seen it for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 So after losing my gig the phone started ringing and I'm back to work already with all kinds of offers-I worked last night at this beautiful bar in Wellington, I'm in West Palm tonight and Lake Worth tomorrow night-I also had to turn one place down and will find out if last night's gig will be 3 nights a week.
