[QUOTE="madoakdevin%20nli:745582"][QUOTE="cav%20nli:745221"]my favorite thing about promoters these days (im talking about the billion and one booking "companies" there are on myspace) is how they try to "look" professional on myspace and try to act professional by sending out a billion flyers and lineups and all these rules and all this shit and then you get to the show about 10 people show up because they booked NO locals and they go "oh sorry i cant get you the money i guaranteed you because no one came" like its your fault. i have one major problem with this, if you call yourself a business you need to act like one. and definitely dont call it a guarantee if you cant guarantee anyone any money. any business owner will tell you that there are days that you loose money it just happens, the thing about a good business is that you are able to cover your losses with profits from another day. if you made 4-500 bucks at a show a month ago then you should have that money on you before you even show up to your next show so that you know you can pay your bands. if you keep putting on shows that no one goes to you need to do everyone a favor and stop booking shows. even better than that is when you drive 8 hours in the rain to bangor, maine only to see the promoter let half the kids at the show sneak in for free and then say oh im sorry the show didnt do that well can i give you guys 50 bucks less than i guaranteed even though its gonna cost you about 100 bucks more than the guarantee to get home. oh i could go on all day. [/QUOTE] the better question is why in hell would you play bangor anyway?[/QUOTE]
