How about this request?

I just received this lead from freedjamerica.com. Needless to say, I'm not responding. However, I thought we DJs should perhaps keep a list of crappy DJs who are willing to go out for $200 bucks, and then we'd call them when we get leads like this. Obviously, I'm joking, but it WOULD be effective at educating the public!

hey whaddya expect from "FreeloaderDJamerica" anyway?

just the name is a dead giveaway that the clientele is going to want something for nothing!

I like this . . . :

"Willing to hire a DJ with little experience!"

I wonder what kind of DJ with 'little experience' would be able to pull of a 60th. birthday party!

Somehow I doubt that the birthday boy will dig on hip hop and moshpits!

As bad as some of the leads are from FreeDJAmerica, I actually booked a $1200 wedding for May of this year from a FDJA lead.

Jim----
you are incredibly lucky since of all the boards I congregate at, you are one of the few to book a gig off of Freeloader DJ America!

(you also had luck with ATF while I came up goose eggs there)

then again, I've scored with Gigmasters when it sux in Maine

its all in the Google-ization of a particular site.

Here in California, FreeLoader DJ America is worthless (just like ATF)
