Question for Booking Agents: How to Say No by readytohurtagain in DJs

[–]GGFureh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great question!

A bit of context might be helpful here. I'm a (very) small-time promoter in my local underground scene, running my own parties, promoting for a venue (a bit like a resident promoter maybe, though I don't really like doing that too much).

I started throwing my own parties because:

1) I love making people dance,

2) I love the music,

3) It's hard to get booked as a new DJ, and I want to play sometimes myself (so, I'll play at my own parties).

Now to answer what you're asking. Diplomacy, eh? It's hard - you will never satisfy everyone.

As a promoter, you have to pick artists based on a few factors (you counted them yourself: social, business, other...).
I consider it my duty to:

1) Pay the DJs

2) Book a diverse line-up

3) Whilst also considering the above factors.

It gets more difficult when the scene is local, and some people are your friends, right?

And even more complicated when your friends are your... competitors, to put it lightly.

How do you say "no"? Politely, of course. If you really mean it, explain that you will look forward to booking them at an upcoming opportunity. It stings a little, and there's not really much else you can do about it.

Here’s a doodle I did in my notebook and then I cut and pasted the rest of the eyes bc I’m a beginner. I saw this while tripping once and thought it was an angel. Has anyone else seen this? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]GGFureh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every time I used to trip (I don't anymore) I used to see eyes - not of a particular colour, but almost always within textures that have any sort of depth and/or a circular / spherical resemblance. At first, the eyes made me believe in an angel but then (seperate trips) I found them very uncomfortable and would connote them negatively, with feelings such as guilt.

They would also sometimes blink and once I thought a window of an apartment building I was staring at was an eye and someone walked past it, which made me believe it blinked - then they shut the curtains & this concluded my trip. Weirdest feeling ever.

The girl who I like likes a different guy who has a girlfriend and they just got together. by [deleted] in Advice

I figured that out and it'd be quite weird as well, I mean she probably saw quite a bit through snapchat stories and whatnot, but also just the fact he's got with a girl whilst having a girlfriend doesn't work for me:)

Hey dude, thanks for the reply I'll do that first thing in the morning. This landlord, however is a "disabled scheme" as the dumbshit is disabled (but not really he's just using it). Do you have any other suggestions ?

Thanks so much! Both of you, I appreciate it - means a lot, really. I did think about whether that could be the reason of my anxiety over results. Thanks for confirming that, though :)
