Re: Booking Agents... (Kinda Rant)Indy has a few. And they are FIERCELY competitive. I've lived longer than most of them. What they do, and what I can do are identical. They charge 12 to 20 percent to make the calls. Think about that. This business is now, and always has been, a business of relationships. I treat people much more professionally than some of these folks. I have seen them take, and do little in return, all in the name of bringing "better quality" entertainment to the local scene. It is the state of the local scene, at least the more "preferred" establishments. Interesting you mention the attention you're attracting now. It is because you will make money. These people want a cut. I assure you, take time to frequent an establishment. Buy their food, Drink their beer. Make friends. Be loyal. Present a professional presence and quality product. There are no rules set in stone. Let noone tell you differently. At least in the local scene. When you show you can entertain a crowd and keep the cash registers ringing and the babes dancing, you'll attract the attention of the club owners also. And it is those business people that have the say. Not the agents.
