I just moved to San Francisco and i'm wanting to put on a show...a concert. I have no idea how to go about it. Do I get an agent? A manager? Get a record label to sign me? Thanks.

Call the place where you want to perform, chat it up with the manager and cross your fingers.

Indeed. The stupid thing is, mostly YOU have to pay to play there. You are bringing people, you are giving a concert, ... but you have to pay for that. In my opinion the people from the place where you are playing have to pay YOU.
This happens never to me :'(

Well I can see that starting out, there is a price to pay. But as time goes by, the fee goes down and hopefully reverses itself toward your income.

Lostinidlewonder has written some incredibly detailed and useful posts on just this subject. :D Unfortunately I do not have the threads :'(. Do a search using his name. Hopefully, he may read this and direct you.
Best wishes,
Bernhard.

Mind you, I understand he lives in Australia, so things may be a bit different elsewhere.
