need tips or adviceI am still trying to get my May booked-I need 2-3 or more shows and since Mother's Day, NASCAR race weekend(I live near Richmond VA) and Memorial Day weekend are in May, I have only weeknight shows left....people are just not wanting to book them! How do you all handle this? I hate to offer anything extra since I believe so much in our Host benefits, but I am getting desperate! I have a show this weekend and will probably get a show from that, but the more the merrier!
 
Can you do afterwork or lunch time shows? Or an express show? Sometimes taking up a whole night doesn't work. These still leave most of the night free.
 
I try to sell Thursday as the new Friday. I have had some great shows on Thursday nights.
 
I sell Wednesday and Thursday night shows because we you do them in the beginning of the week, people are still tired from the weekend and are thinking the week will drag on. If we do it on hump day, it breaks the week up a lot!!
 
So I was wondering if any one here are ER fans? Who do you think was killed in the explosion? I hate to have it as Pratt since he finally decided to get his life in order with this girl. I also hope it wasnt Sam since she has the son who really needs her. And I definitly do not want it to be Abby since her and Luca just made up. Although I really dont think it was Abby. Now I have to wait till next season:cry:
