Hi,
I met with someone what promotes talent shows and he is now on TV and has about 20,000 people watching. I am going to be promoting my product (www.whatspoppin.com) during the shows, and I asked if he ever did a magic or an escape artist show yet. He said he would be happy to put one together on Dec. 13 in Milwaukee, WI, but would need at least 6 contestants. Actually, I asked him if he wanted to promote an escape artist event for next years WEAR (yep, I think we can get many more people involved). That is when he said how about December 13th. He said each act can have about 3 minutes, and then I asked, can it be edited for the escape artist to have more time, and he said yep. So, any takers on this short notice / any takers for a later date? Bret |

Hi,
Sorry I didn't respond sooner...finally have a free minute and answering PM's on the board. The promoter justs like to get people known. Like he is taking a group of people to New York to meet promoters, etc in the music field. I am going to see how he runs the show first to see how it is done, and what the crowds are etc. It could be a good "pride" thing though, people call in to vote. Anyway, I will keep this message updated in a couple of weeks. If you are in the Milwaukee area,let me know. |

So does this mean that the TV station manager, the producers, presenters, and all the other station employees all the way down to the parking attendant also work for free? Just asking.

Can't answer that question, since I do not know. I do know the promoter / the person who puts on the show doesn't make anything, since he donates his money to the innercity kids. However, that could change in the future. As far as the TV station, I don't know how that works. I will ask for you. The timeslot might be donated by the station. I will be finding out how all of this works on Tuesday, since Iwill be at a show taping.

Why do people think what we do is easy? They feel like we should be their slackies and not get paid? I love these shlubbs!
I prefer compensation, sorry. |
