Being without a gig for a few months, I did a private party for a friend about a week ago, one of those gigs which really brings your ego down to earth. Back when I was doing a residency at Larumba, I was trying so hard to get hired at one of the better clubs in town, namely The Church or Vinyl. They regularly have big name DJs there that I would kill to VJ for and the clubs themselves are really nice. For months I tried to get my demo DVD in the hands of someone important, mailing them, going to the club passing them off to bartenders and door staff, but it was futile. I live across the street from the church and most every night i watch the line of people form down the block waiting to get in the door. Today, I am walking in to my building and a guy approaches me from across the street asking if I would be interested in helping get petitions signed in the neighborhood so that they could open yet another nightclub in the area, and they would pay me. I told them that I would do it for free if I could get a gig at the church. I ran inside and grabbed my demo, went over to the offices and showed it to a few of the important people, they talked with the owner and tadaaa! i have been promised a gig at the church, possibly also at Vinyl.....YAY!!! I am so happy, it's my dream come true.:D
