Venice SummerFest Bands 2013- Fx3events.com

So I call them because all of this is not very clear. They want a payment of $100.00-$300.00 to sponsor the stage. I want to know what times - dates - performance time we get. I was told I have to pay them first. So I asked: I pay you $300.00 and you give me a 15 minute set?

She hung up on me.

I was considering it. $100.00 could buy some good publicity - we would be listed on their events things- may sell some CDs if we have them by then. But I ain't buying anything until I know what I'm paying for. This racket is just that. 

Hi,
Thanks for considering performing Summer Fest at Venice Beach, California. This event helps our non profit groups. This is a very costly event which gets over 50,000 people who come out to see our event every year. To cover some stage cost our band sponsor the stage which also help non profit "Save me a penny." They feed the homeless year round in Venice Beach.
