i just read this thread for the first time. EASILY the most disorganized, unprofessional fest i\'ve ever heard about, and i\'ve heard about ad been to some serly mind boggling clusterfucks before!! i mean, THE BAND doesn\'t even know when they are scheduled to play!! it\'ll probably be a fun little blast with a bunch of local kids droogin\' it out and whatnot, but if they wanted anything more than local kids they are extremely out of their league!
and knowing buddy cage just a little bit, i\'m not at all surprised to hear he bailed! not that he\'s snobby, just the opposite. hell, he\'s sat in with a buddy of mine\'s band numerous times to play bar gigs with 20 or 30 folks in attendance. BUT he was told when to be where and when they would be playing and for how long and how much $$ he\'d get (even though it was very little $$), etc.... anyone in the business as long as he has been would have run from such an amateur hour, too!
