hopefully you'll be able to attend the performance?????????

        At this point, I never know one day to the next. I'm working both
for a sound company and a lighting/staging company. Since it's festival
season, the sound company's busy time, things are more certain than usual
right now. Therefore I'm *already* pretty sure I'll be working this
weekend, and it's only Monday. But I won't be absolutely certain until
Wednesday. For the lighting company, I won't have any clues at all until
Wednesday afternoon.
        No, I am not exaggerating, not even slightly. Last month I made
nearly $2500, most of it in a week and a half, and some months I make
nothing at all. It's *that* unsteady. However, I'm working my way up
people's "I want this guy on my crew" lists, and the higher up I get the
more $250 - $300 days come my way.
        At this point, the bottom line is that I won't know until a week
before the event whether or not there is work that weekend, and I'm
unlikely to know before mid-October whether I can afford to miss a
working weekend if I have the opportunity.

        Sorry. I wish I could give you a better answer, but that's the
only one I have. Ask me in November.
