James I guess I understand what you say but first of all am not married to cuddle with my wife, and I would have been out being one of those drunk people ur talking about . Second as DonM said (even though music is not my main job), I was getting paid 10 times what my weekend gig pays. 10 times is alot of money, plus I was getting that other party which paid twice what I make on Saturday nights. So in this one trip, I was going to make what would usually take me 3 months to make from music. I could not let it go. At any rate money wise i still made almost 10 times what i make on the weekend, rather than 12 times, but what mostly upset me was that feeling on that night of new year eve being alone in the middle of no where!

DonM, I try to do contracts usually but this thing happened so quickly, I had to trust the guy. Luckily he didn't not screw me all the way, cause the deposit I had was only 25% of the price, so he still paid another 50% on top of that (it took 3 days to get the money though lol so i was kind of nerveous).

Any other interesting new year eve gigs out there?
