First Paying Gig - How much should I charge?

There is a small concert promoter who is doing battle of the bands concerts
throughout the US with finals in Denver. I walked into one of his shows
just to get some pictures and, after sending him some at his request, he
liked them and wants to hire me for another Texas show. It is for two
nights from 7PM to 1AM. I estimate around 3000 to 4000 exposures all
together. Each band will get about 25 exposures or so on a CD. There are 16
bands all together. I just walked in there to get some pictures for my
local photograpy club contests and never expected to get hired. I have no
earthly idea what to charge. This guy is probably not going to pay
professional rates (or maybe he does... I don't know - just my hunch). What
would be a fair price to charge him that he won't blow me off?

thanks,
Jiim
