anyway that's mho.
but mark you're at a stage where self promotion is part and parcel of the job. like you said you need a business to do it but i think that entails self promotion.
Even this site is a form of self promo. i'm certainly not knocking you for it, i think its great more people should get it together more (myself included).

so maybe certain djs should be learning to help themselves out more because for some of you guys its your living.
