"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

For those of you in bands or experiance in this stuff

We desperately need a p.a. system! But the issue is money man! Those things are expensive!! So I need your guys help please!

Right now were looking at a p.a. system package thing for 400 bucks, list price is 800. But my friend said those little things suck ass. Heres the one me and my other vocalist are looking at.

What do you guys think? Please gimme your replies were desperate for this we need to get this stuff before me and my band start playing at gigs and shows
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Check the local trading rags

... those little free classified ad rags you see in newsstands all over the place. Here we have one called "Trading Times."

Very often there are PAs and such being unloaded for less than you can find them for in a pawn shop.

What are you going to be using this for? A rehearsal space? Give me some details and maybe I can help you out a little more.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

ok,

for practicing in a garage or playing a house party the setup you found should work fine. As far as playing in larger spaces that setup isnt gonna be any good (im sure you already knew that).

Unless you wanna spend upwards of $2000+ your best bet is to peice together a set-up with other bands that are also playing the venue if there is no house PA. It kind of sucks but all bands go through that at the beginning.

In my personal setup I have tri-amp system with 3 QSV 1000 watt amps, a behringer 4 way (3 band + sub output) crossover, behringer 2 channel tube mic pre-amp, and JBL 1500 watt speakers for each band running off a 16 channel mackie board. I have around $2000 invested and I can thump a house party crystal clear but larger areas I have to pull in backup equipment from friends..


Good luck to ya man.
