Now that Summer is here I'm finding it easier to get restaurant gigs due to the long line of tourists who are hungry at the end of a long day of sight seeing...
I have three restaurants booked and one which promises to get back top me by tomorrow afternoon. How's about anyone else? |

It's the opposite here in Gainesville, Florida. I think parents are so busy shuttling their kids around to summer activities that they don't take them out to eat.
One of my restaurants has me take time off until the kids go back to school. |

Must be like that all over based on the lack of responses?

Many people are out performing over the weekend, not checking the Big Green Monster.
I've got things lined up in CT, NJ, MD, and southern PA so far, throughout the rest of summer.

I and other northern California magicians will be performing at the state fair. Not a paying gig but free admission and parking. Can hand out business cards. Good experience. (I am an amateur.)

I do a lot of library shows over the summer. They don't pay a lot per show but it's a nice big check at the end of summer.

I've got a good number of library shows in NJ this summer, as well as performances down the shore weekly. My one bar gig also shuts down for the summer due to slow traffic.
@WitchDocChris, I'd love to come see you perform! That sounds like a great time! I've performed in the past at the Witches Ball in Mt. Holly. It's an awesome town for Magic! I -used- to perform on the boardwalk in a certain South Jersey town up until they implemented a rather restrictive permit last summer, so... meh. Gotta roll with the punches, though! Hope everyone has an amazingly productive summer season! |

I got the library shows in my county this summer. Also get opportunities to busk every month at a "first Friday" street fair.
I'm Trey, I'm a magician, a liar, and a cheat. But you can trust me!

I’m just busking in Portland. Haven’t done restaurants in 4 years. I do miss it, but I love the freedom busking allows me.

I used to do -very- well on the NJ boards....I miss those days ;-; Anyone from the South Jersey area familiar with good busking spots these days? South Street in Philly USED to be decent, but it's kinda....well, it's not what it used to be. |

Still working 4 restaurants, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Graduation party
and going away party this weekend. Lion's club dinner coming up as well as Masonic Lodge and church festival next weekend. No signs of slowing down. I'm a happy camper.

I performed for Microsoft recently and I'm doing a few kids shows and then blacking out some dated to spend more time with my newborn baby.
