Subject: RE: When the gigs fall through...
Call the temporary agency and bug them for short term writing gigs--Then use the office time to hustle up more gigs--
Deni-C has got it right, as well. Or maybe nearly right--Producing something for yourself is one of the all time great ideas--well, not necessarily great, but it'll keep you busy--
I used to do it a lot--the downside is that when you include other performers, they often begin to think that you are taking advantage of them, that you are giving yourself the spot in the program that they deserve, that you are making a lot of money and stiffing them--the other problem is that you put your energy into all the details of putting on the event instead of practicing--the upside it that you get to feel like you are the boss--Forget about the money though, there won't be any left at the end of the night--
