Get back to your CDs.

As a music promoter, it would be absurd to think that I could just walk into a club and go up to the booth and start DJing without either a) having the training, or b) being on staff. So why, as a DJ, do you think it's ok to offer a band a gig at my club when not only do you have no say over booking, but you don't even resident there?

Seriously. I just had a rather uncomfortable discussion with a band who apparently had been told they'd be playing at one of the clubs I work for by someone who is not even on staff.

Now, there's nothing wrong with pitching a band to me. And there's nothing wrong with letting a band know about a club you like to play it. But to go so far as to say "Oh, yeah, I know those guys, and I'll get you next month's gig" is way over the top.

The logic evades, apparently.
