This is spinning off from the "playing for tips" thread.
Like a few of the posters on that thread, I got laid off a while ago (two years in Feb) and have been relying on temp work and music gigs to keep body and soul together while I search for the possibly mythical "day job." It happens to a lot of folks these days, and on the bright side, I finally have the time/desperate need to focus on my music career.
A few posters in the other thread talked about bypassing the traditional venues and creating performance opportunities. I thought it would be interesting and possibly helpful if we collected some of the ideas and discussed what worked/what didn't, without hijacking that thread.
