How picky are you, and what are YOUR criteria? I turned one down today.

I accepted the same gig last year and it went as crappy as I knew it likely would be. I feel GREAT about not having it hanging over my head, and I already had our band OK'd on whichever decision I might make (I do our booking).

What are your criteria? Has that changed over time? What have been some of your learning lessons that guide you now?
