[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 91062, member: 277"] Re: Charity Events One has to remember that it is not "free" if you do this. It often costs in excess of $100 just for fuel for my truck to do a local event. I am 45 miles or better from town to my house in the country. There is also wear and tear on everything. I am donating not only time and equipment but actual cash outlay to do the one main charity event I do each year. As I said earlier I would donate to this event anyway because it is near and dear to my heart, I just happen to have a sound company. Are you willing to write a check for a sizeable donation to the cause? If you are then by all means give your time and use of your equipment. If you are not then I strongly suggest you think it out before being a "sucker" unless you have some other motivation. Since this is JV, I will add one other possibility. If you are just starting out and want to get some time and experience behind your rig, donating to an event that is having a few local bands play will get your feet wet and the bands are usually just glad to have any system to play through. It is at least a resume and confidence builder if it works out well. You can work out any issues that come up in a much more forgiving environment. Everyone has to start somewhere. For everyone else I believe most of the above posts apply. [/QUOTE]
