Oh, the admin. I've really had enough of it.
I've spent all day again in a coffee shop looking for places to stay in San Francisco, Toronto and Iceland and no luck. Big cities are the hardest. It's such a drag.
I also did more booking for Europe but again no bites. It's been a while since I had any positive responses, and summers coming up - the worst time to book.
I still have to:
- Promote my NXNE showcase: find some way of getting the 'industry' people to come to my show there
- Post to couchsurfing groups in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to see if anyone would like to host a house concert
- Add more venue names to Italian and German databases
- Keep mailing European venues
- Promote Thursday's show in Portland. Call the radio and message on meetup.com and message people visiting Portland on couchsurfing.com to get people out
- Start building up a database of New Zealand venues
It really takes the edge of things when you have so much admin to do.
Sympathy?
Finding some way of getting the 'industry' people to come to any show's a waste of time. Connecting with other like yourself might be more fruitful. Good luck. No sympathy.
