    So I got an offer for a gig in Chicago, They asked me how much I would charge.

    All accomodations would be covered (airfare, lodging, meals, etc) so the question is for 3 days (2 rehearsals and 1 show) what should I ask for on top of that?

    BTW this is an Assyrian gig, they pay pretty well so I was thinking $800ish......

    I like your thinking, how did you come up with that number?

    3 days for me would be $1280 (which assumes no more than 8 hours per day at $40 / hr + a travel day on the back end).

    I figure if I'm out for a day it shouldn't be less than $350. Extra $150 to hassle with traveling.
