True. Or at least a booking email agreeing to rate and start/end dates. Ask around about how to do a kill fee. Like if the second place booked you, but their client canceled the job. A kill fee= “you booked me for a week, cancelled a day before, I turned down other work, pay me at least a portion of the week. “

Tell your current shop you are booked but would love to come back after. It’s all about making connections and building your personal brand.

You could tell the other place that your current place wants to extend you. This will let the other place know that you are demand and that they will need to book you or release you. If they book, then I would follow the advice from Freelance (from former Droga5)

Keep your word. Do the gig, you’ll leave the door open at both places. Tell the current place how much you enjoyed working there. If you leave the next place in the lurch that door closes.
