"What is this stuff?", referencing "Private  Event".

A few have asked similar on various occasions, but I thought it  should 
be quite clear.

Many artists include "private party,"  "private event" or simply 
"private" in their listings as a way of letting  everyone know (players, 
agents, venues, etc) that they are in fact busy on  a given date. If 
filled dates are not shown, it could be construed that  they are in fact 
available, especially in a given area.

A date  filled with a "private" notice can save others from needless 
contact for  that date, but on the other hand, can also indicate that an 
artist may be  in a given locale on a "blank" date, and may indeed be  
available.

Hope this makes sense to  all.

Danny
