Reply to Friend are too "old"....

Hi folks,

Looking for some advice. Maybe some of you have been in this situation.

I'm 28 years old, married, no kids. Most of my friends are my age or older and also married, some have kids.

As I try to build up my following as a DJ and push to increase my promotion to land gigs, I have nobody to go out to venues and events with to meet other DJ's, promoters, and be present in the scene. I've managed to do it a little over the last few months by begging some friends to join me (including my wife) and I've made significant progress but I feel there is potential for a lot more, especially in nearby cities like Montreal and Toronto.

All my friends are "done with clubbing", or they have to be up at 5am the next morning for other adult commitments, or they've had a long day at the office and would rather just relax at home.

I've managed to meet a bunch of people in the scene but I wouldn't call any of them my friends. I can't go out and hang out with them all evening as they have their own group of friends. Promoters are usually busy socializing anyway, they don't tend to hang out with one group.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks
