Well, I've just had a rather disheartening day.
I had two new gigs supposed to start in the new year. Both places told me we would begin in January. To be specific, one said to call him this week and we will work out the details and the other said I'll start in January. So, called the first one and he says "we've decided to put it on hold for now, but when we do go a head with it, we'll use you." The second one, though not a complete backing out, said "it's just the first week, I still have to tack to my staff, I have your card, so I will call you" What does the owner need to check with his staff for? So essentially a 'don't call us, we'll call you' blow off. I've dealt with rejections before, and that's fine, but two things REALLY **** me off. One is not having the balls to just give me a "no," and instead dragging it out with 'have to work out a few details' and 'let me just talk to my staff' BS. The other is agreeing to have me come in and do walk a round, and THEN backing out. Of course the one could still pan out into a gig, but I'm not holding my breath.

The start of a new year is very ROUGH for Restaurants Magicians. I feel for ya brother...
I have written the solution to this in my January Column of The Magic Menu. If you haven't subscribed, you should...if for no other reason then to read my article on this very subject. Keep your chin up...there are plenty of restaurants out there... Christopher

If it makes you feel any better, I had the same thing happen to me!
Same exact thing - two restaurants, two gigs lined up, two sets of "details to be sorted out"... |

Keep at it man, you will land one eventually when you keep at it.
