How MyLot helped me make $80.40 in one day!

I posted a post today and did a lot of commenting between volunteering at the preschool and seeing my afternoon kid client. Then I had a gig tonight with the Country Music band at a local bar and restaurant associated with a local golf course. I wound up making $80.40 above and beyond what I make at my "real" jobs. I leave it up to you to decide how much I made playing guitar and mandolin and singing (I sang lead on only three songs: Dim Lights, Pancho and Lefty, and Paradise) and how much I made on MyLot. Woo hoo--I'm gonna be rich!

You wanna be rich? I've got just the thing for you. Start selling Frog Repellent. I'll buy it. Two frogs in two days is too many.

Maybe you need to convert the squirrel population to carnivorism.

I'm going to guess at .40 on myLot and $80 for the rest. Good job!

@TheHorse Always good to keep yourself and others in a band grounded. An ego is a dangerous thing.

@pgntwo That is VERY true. Like the Warriors (who won tonght by eleven, I think), you have to focus on the team, not the individual. For some, that's hard.

It's fun making money doing something I love. But I worry that it will become a burden, or that band mates will take what we do too seriously.

It is. I enjoy cycling to the bank to deposit a few 20s. It all adds up eventually.

@youless I've thought of doing some music teaching. Especially for kids. I do a bit of that anyway in other contexts.

@TheHorse Yes, $80 a night is not enough so that we can get richer.

@ida123 But I'll take it. I like jamming with friends best. If I have to play in front of people, and "entertain" them, I'd rather be paid than not.

Heh heh. If I made $80 every night playing music I still wouldn't get rich!

The title was a tease. I guess you made the $80 singing and the $0.40 on myLot.

@ElizabethWallace I wrote my sarcastic posts near the end, when we were making $00.05/day at best.

That would be a reasonable guess. Do you remember when I'd do these posts over on "the site that will not be named"? The total would be like $50.04. I guess I'm moving up in the world!

We had another gig last night (different band--two common members) but don't know how much we made because we're getting a percentage of what the restaurant made. The place was packed, so we should do well.
