James Hamilton This is my best bud, guitar luthier Jim Hamilton. If you're looking for Jim, drop me a note & I'll get it to him.
This is Billy Livesay Check out Billy Livesay, acclaimed singer/songwriter and one of the coolest guys I know. Billy was the lead singing guitarist for Clarence Clemens' band "Temple of Soul." He currently fronts The Livesays, also kick ass!
The Hep Cat Boo Daddies The lovely lady on the left is Kristina, Joel's fiance, and I adore her! "Evil" & Randy are on the right.
There once was a drummer named Howard
He'd be famous if he wasn't such a coward
He feared a large crowd
He'd start crying out loud
It's a wonder if he's ever been deflowered
There once was a pianist named Gennet
He'd practice but no better did he get
'Cuz he'd stop to touch his cock
Instead of rehearsing Bach
And end up with keys sticky and wet
There once was a tire salesman named Frank
He worked hard to put money in the bank
By night, he played guitar
Sang the blues in every bar
His wife left, took all his dough, and that stank
Famous Frank's response to my limericks:
There once was an agent named Judy
Something died when it crawled up her pootie.
She booked us a date
But we showed up late,
That's what you get booking Rudy!
Here's a group of kind souls raising money for the animals...

My mentor, my friend.

The entertainment business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. ~ hunter s. thompson

Hi. My name is Judy Blem aka "Agent Biotch." I am a licensed talent agent, promoter, party & event planner, emcee, pimp, graphic designer, amatuer photographer, and personal assistant to Prince Charles. I have a bachelors degree in marketing and advertising from FSU. I have dabbled in stand-up comedy & sang in a few bands a million years ago. I love live music. It's why I do what I do.
I have been booking gigs in FL for over 18 years: Clubs, Hotels, Restaurants, Corporate & Private Events, Weddings, Festivals, Concerts, Casinos, Paramutuals, Grand Openings, you name it. Shoot, I once booked a jazz band for a shuttle launch.
After working at Musicians Exchange™ for 8 years, (1991-1998), I applied for and received my Talent Agency License and started my own company:
MAIN EVENTS UNLIMITED, INC. dba MAIN EVENT TALENT AGENCY
FL Dept of Biz & Professional Regulations
Talent Agency License #594
Bonded by the State of Florida w/State Farm Ins. Co.
I gladly provide my clients with assistance in graphics & promotions. I believe it is important to go that extra mile -- especially in this economy.
