So last week went off more or less without a hitch...
3 days and 4 events.... wednesday the URB magazine party at Joe's Pub, Thursday Teso at Movida, the Decemberists at Summerstage.... i was in bed by 2:30am and then up by 4:30am to drive to the Hamptons for a DG event that ended and it was straight home to change and shower and then out the door to Nublu for the African Hip Hop Throwdown we were throwing with Nomadic Wax.... which was more or less a good event. I learned a ton.
a) next time I will have someone else work the door. I worked it mostly because i wanted to be sure that we didn't screwed by the club..which I was sure happened last time but I couldn't prove it. This time i proved it and they had to pay us out over double what they paid us last time...but I had to spend the whole night at the door... next time it will be one of our people and not me.
b) Next time we will have it a bigger venue...as we had way too many people this time around and it was awful to have such a huge line and have people leave cause they didn't want to wait.
i'm sure there are other lessons but these are the two that are on the top of my head... as I am sick as a dog right now.... started getting sick sat. morning and by sat. night i was full of scratchy throat and fever..... i'm still recovering
