<DIV>hopefully you'll be able to attend the performance?????????</DIV>

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