This weekend was pretty damn good. We made a lot of money, it was the FocoMX event this weekend. Close to 200 bands at a dozen or so bars and venues around town for two days. It did really well for us last year and was also quite good this year. There is a base amount of money we need to make every week to have a good month. We made our weeks money in 3 days (Fri-Sun).
What was interesting is that because we had the FocoMX event Friday and Saturday is that our doors were open at 6 instead of 8. We were pouring drinks at 630 instead of the usual 930-10. We never got really busy either night but we had great nights, it just goes to show you how important the early money is, if you can pour an extra 100-300 a night because people show up earlier than they would for most shows it really adds up. We can't get people in early every night but as I think of new ways to make the bar money I'll have to look into taking advantage of times we can do that.
I was cleaning up my desktop and found a few pictures of foreclosed houses in Japan I was looking at. I can't afford one now but I still like to look and found a few places I liked. This one had a pretty low minium bid and was really cool looking. It was pretty small house on a small plot of land but it's got a very isolated and unique look to it.
This next one has been my favorite so far. Decent sized plot of land, has 2 additional building, looks fairly big, and isn't around any other houses.
Lots of work today, but I'm excited because I'm feeling bit healthier and I'm ready to get back to work. I've got a pretty decent amount of shows to get booked and a strategy to develop and pursue for summer. Really looking forward to it.
Till next time.
