Forget about the apartment manager. They don't care about pool parties and just wish their tenents to pay their rent and be invisible. IE: No pool parties to clean up after. Target the tenants!

U.B. -- I learned from my 16 year old brother that all the cool kids are using WinMX to steal their music. He was right, it kicks Kazaa booty.

Dude, piss on yer wife - it's never too late to solicit for Summer Parties. I was in a band and we'd calls the weekend before the event. That's the best time to squeeze 'em for all they got, because they're going to pay for that last minute stuff. Other thoughts, if I were a DJ: 1) Hit up Ice Cream Stores and Diners and stuff that have those 50's Nights where old farts drive in their pristine cars and show them off. 2) Biker Clubs - outdoor events in the summer - we know how you like those. All the smoke keeps the bugs away. 3) Hook up school districts and start schmoozing with student/faculty advisors now so they can keep you in mind for next year's school dances. Fewer late nights, no smoke. 4) Soliciting businesses for work parties, cookouts, BBQs & clambakes. Damn, I oughta be a DJ - if I could only get my hands on a cheap set of bitching speakers...bwahahaha...

UB, check out 3hive.com for your music sharing needs. Totally legit. Awesome tunes. And no, I don't have shares in it. I go there daily for new music. And seriously, if you were in Vancouver, BC, I would SO hire you at our tenant summer party.

Avril. Uncle Bob, I read your diary daily. I don't sit here and post stupid comments because there's always 3 million other stupid ones in its place. My issue? Fucking Avril? Pardon my language but you'll listen to Nazareth...but also AVRIL? You've lost it. I'm going to have to take a break from this journal because I can't believe you said that. Ugh. *disgusted in CO* (heh, I just love those crappy names on advice columns)

at $400 bucks a pop UB, I think iTunes would be affordable for you, not to mention the increased sound quality benefit.

Uh hey Bob, have you heard of newsgroups (aka usenet)? Free music, no way for them to track you since you're only downloading, not uploading. Use a program like Newsbin Pro (newsbin.com) and your ISP's news servers. Other people upload the music, leeching is fun and easy! =]

Hey UB as long as you continue to think small, you will continue to get small gigs (a pool party? are you kidding me?). Suck it up and contract your services with a middle man. An agency. I am not sure what talent or entertainment agencies are in your neck of the woods, but my dad has worked as an agent for years (as well as a musician) and books DJ's, entertainers and bands at many events such as corporate parties, boat clubs, fireworks festivals, state fairs, etc.... Yeah, you gotta give the agent a cut, but it's worth it if they are finding you decent gigs. Dontcha think??

If you turn off sharing on kazaa you won't have any RIAA problems. Period.

Winmx is good. That what I use. www.winmx.com Free, no spyware, and most songs that you can think of. If you're lazy and don't want to look for users and would rather have the program look for users for you, iMesh. Although there isn't as many songs you don't have to do jack squat while the program searches for users to download the music from. iMesh is really good for downloading movies :P
