I am a solo artist trying to get my name out to the people. I just wanna know, how do I find gigs for myself to play. I have NO connections in the business and I am NOT comfortable with Battle of the Bands. Is there anywhere online I can find gigs.
The best place for solo artists to start out is at open mics, usually the people are nice and a lot of people attend them. They’re the easiest and best way.
On average how many gigs does a beginner comedian get per day? Been thinking about going into comedy but want to get in as many gigs as possible.

Im looking forward to buy a Camera or device that records good video quality and sound quality because i want to record during concerts and gigs. I Also want to record a few band practices. What do you guys recommend? My budget is anything thats $200 and down. Thank you.
Honestly, for $200 I’d opt for a good digital audio recorder, one designed for music such as these by Olympus:

Digital video in that price range is poor at best (Yes, even HD), and the audio is highly compressed and even worse than the video. If you can up your budget to $250, the best audio and video you can get is Canon’s ZR960 MiniDab tape camera.
Seems counter intuitive, but the quality of MiniDv exceeds even high end HD cameras, and MiniDab uses uncompressed audio with better than CD quality.
Reinstalled windows and now it’s telling me my C drive is on 5gigs, When i know for a fact that it’s full capacity if 40 gigs. Any help?
How did you "reinstall" Windows ?
Did you install Windows ontop of an existing installation ? The existing files would have been "saved" for backup purposes, so the "new" installation would then occupy whatever space was left. You probably have a lot of music or video files, so those take up a lot of space too.
The best thing to do is fully erase your harddrive, then do a Windows installation. Then you would have more hard drive space available.
But what do you do if you have data you want to keep ? Take out the existing hard drive, get another harddrive (used 40G drives are cheap), fully erase that harddrive, then install Windows.
Get a USB-to-harddrive adapterd connect your old hard drive to the adapter. Turn on power to the adapter, then plug the USB cable into your computer, and you can get all your data off the old harddrive, and then erase the old harddrive and use it for backups !
Pretty simple, we have a few gigs, but are there any good websites that show you places that want live music?
phone, email bars and taverns
I’ve been exploring Craigslist for labor gigs until work picks up for me. Are there any other websites out there that has similar labor gigs I can search for in my area?
I’ve heard of hotjobs.com is a good site for finding jobs and tempory jobs i think.
