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.

If you have seen me at a club or event
with my digital camera, odds are
your photo is in my gallery!
I've been posting pictures in my photo gallery for 4 years now from gigs, parties, concerts & festivals. The photos are all downloadable and you are welcome to use whatever you like for your own myspace page.

Please help me buy a new camera
My old camera has just about had it! Several of my friends suggested I take up a collection to buy a better quality camera. If you can spare a few bucks, that would be awesome!

About Me
Hi. My name is Judy Blem aka "Agent Biotch."
I am a licensed talent agent, promoter, band manager for The Spoon Benders, 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 Florida for 17 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(tm) for 8 years, (1991-1998),
I got my Talent Agency License and started my own company:
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.
Need to hire a band?
If you would like to hire entertainers for a private party, special event, club, etc., I will do my best to work with your budget and help you find the right music to create the atmosphere you desire.
E-mail me for info on available performers or bands. I can send promotional material by Internet or snail mail and I can tell you where you can go see these acts perform live.
