It was amazing! I loved traveling, setting up shows as well as taking care of the merchandise among other things. After a while it got to me. It was impossible to maintain a relationship cause every guy I ever dated was convinced I was cheating on him. I've never cheated on anyone in my life! You get the thrill of backstage passes, meeting interesting people around the country and establishing contacts in the industry. I stopped because I realized I eventually wanted to get married (which I did) and start a family (which we will). As much fun as I was having, there was something missing. There are thousands of traveling musicians that can make relationships and family life work, I just wasn't one of them. It was good to get out of my system, it was an incredible learning experience for me. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-1563 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:29:19 +0000 Sadie 1563@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <blockquote><p>an out of work coked up A&#38;R guy</p></blockquote> <p>Props for the Butch quote if you did that on purpose... </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-660 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 10:39:12 +0000 godsaverellogg 660@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Oh man, this thread got me into some awkward pie yesterday. You see, I love sheet music in an obbsessive way, I have mounds of it in my room mostly for the violin. So every once in a while I go to this music warehouse (Dumont) and just prance among the Mozart and bathe myself in piles of Strauss. Yesterday I was thinking about this thread and I asked the guy there for a job, and it launched THE most awk conversation ever, which I'm so good at creating. Not only did I get no job, I think they're still laughing at me and my strange fixation on baroque operas. </p> <div class="signature">-- Lauren</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-654 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 01:35:14 +0000 mbaker 654@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>What I'm doing now.

I hear you can dance around in your underpants at that job, and no one cares. In fact, it's encouraged. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-620 Wed, 22 Aug 2007 00:53:13 +0000 acoustic11 620@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>weekapaug, that's the thing.</p> <p>I've been to concerts where I *hate* the type music that's playing...random after-school heavy rock fundraisers and all...and I still have a blast. I really think that I could dig any sort of live show, so venue-side (especially at a chill venue like WCL) would be awesome.</p> <p>P&#38;R would be fun... but I could never be an Ari Gold. </p> <div class="signature">- Kim</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-598 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 12:49:59 +0000 sarah 598@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>for me, my dream job is doing public relations for some sort of label/band. </p> <div class="signature">something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-589 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:51:43 +0000 weekapaug009 589@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>i'd have to say that its a very difficult business to get into from the tech side, and that it would probably be way more fun to work with specific bands rather than a venue because then you won't have to deal with the random bands/artists that you don't really like... </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-588 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:30:31 +0000 acoustic11 588@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>thanks for picking that up neddi. i was waiting for someone to notice </p> <div class="signature">- Kim</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-583 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 21:13:17 +0000 neddi 583@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>stray bassists, hahaha </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-574 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:06:18 +0000 godsaverellogg 574@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>gemini club? i don't ever remember it being that. for a while it was pangea. then it was the latin casino 3. </p> <p>then it was my all-time favorite- the busted heart baritone... that's my way of saluting the man who makes me love music. </p> <div class="signature">-- Lauren</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-570 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:10:41 +0000 acoustic11 570@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Jeeze, Lauren...what happened to the Gemini Club?

I want to open my own venue and call it the Candy Cave (after my cousin whose name is Andy Cave) hmmm or maybe the Bat Cave after my cousin Matt Cave... anyways the point I'm trying to make is that since we're already best friends we can go into business together and only have Todd Martin play, ever. </p> <div class="signature">-- Lauren</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/music-industry-dream-jobs#post-544 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 21:53:43 +0000 acoustic11 544@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>So, I was hanging out at the Tweeter Center last night and realized that I need to be working somewhere like that. Doing lighting or sound or guarding the stage from stray bassists...</p> <p>But I don't even know where to begin, and y'all are infinitely wiser than me.</p> <p>What would be a cool job in the music industry? I'm at a point right now where I really have no idea what to do with my life, but i could totally see myself working at a venue or being some sort of tech. Do venues employ their own sound/light people, or is that something the bands do? How do you get started ding stuff like that? I always thought I'd end up as a music journalist or photographer, but maybe there's something more fun out there. Any other suggestions?</p> <p>I don't wanna end up as an out of work coked up A&#38;R guy....but man, how fun would a job in the venue-side of the business be? </p> <div class="signature">- Kim</div>
