    And by double, I'm sure Mark means double your usual rate. I like the additional 10% and bar tab :

    $700 for a 4 piece is chicken feed any night of the year. It' s almost disrespectful for New Years Eve, so unless you want to do it just for the fun of it, I'm sure you can negotiate a better deal.

    Here where I live that would be right around the going price for one of our regular bars and they all seem to have bands on New Years Eve If it were one of the four larger bars it would be around 1200 - 1500
    New Years Eve here is not really one of the best times to gig ... being a college town ( 3 colleges ) most of the students are gone then
