Really?

How fucked are you?

Hi Dan

Remember me asking you to call me so I could discuss this with you last week?

I was trying to explain to you that they city is giving us a Special Event Permit for the Memorial Day Weekend only(May 26, May 27 and May 28) These event permits are quite costly (cost of permit plus having to provide proof of insurance - can't remember how many millions we have to demonstrate the hotel is insured for) and while this isn't a paying gig, it is part of our never ending effort to show the city that we can do this successfully so that we can get our Conditional Use Permit permanently changed. This way we don't always have to apply for a permit (we are only allowed a tiny amount per year and they usually go to Hotel events such as New Year's Eve etc -NOT bands) As I previously told you, you have NO IDEA what I am going through to try to permanently allow bands at the venue. A conversation between us certainly would have helped.

By the way - I don't have to tell you ANY of this because to be frank, instead of us having an intelligent and informative conversation about this last week, which I tried to give you as a courtesy despite your insulting and condescending attitude towards me, you instead chose to continue to go your current negative route (quote" how fucked are you?") without the facts. Dan. Seriously? 

Well I prefer to continue to keep it positive. While I have zero interest in trying to explain anything else to you (I tried that last week and you blew me off) I am sincere in saying that I wish you continued good luck in your career and endeavors. As a fellow musician (I play drums in one of the top drawing bands in LA) I only wish good things for all musicians and thanks again.

Good luck Dan

I've been posting our exchanges up to my blog and to Facebook, for the added interest. Your sound guy and your equipment are a joke. Your guy downtown told me I couldn't start early AND I had no vocals for the first half of my first song. He couldn't deal with my little preamp at Hotel 20 and I had to instruct him to give me a second mic so we weren't screwing around for 15 minutes. You are a fucking joke. You want to take advantage of these all these wanta be's, go right ahead. I had a really good guy out to my venue in Westchester and he's telling me you are still making him sell tickets. I'm glad somebody is letting you play somewhere, cause you are are fucking user and really nobody should be letting you play anywhere. Check out my blog numbers and my YouTube numbers, let's see what happens to your fucking shit.
