Hopefully they end before you hit the stage!
Order a blast from HAARP or something
Just to make sure we're on the same page, I have the thread tonight.
I thought so, I was just going to ask you and make sure!
We were asked to come play again this weekend but we declined. The other band and the venue rented out stage for this weekend. It's absolutely pouring down the rain this weekend, so there's no fucking way they'll be playing outside at all.
As they won't have even pulled it out of the trailer, we'll probably not give a shit and will not charge them. The venue is great to us and the other band opens for us sometimes.
We are playing there next weekend. Just Friday and Saturday. No other venue has tried to book us yet. They're not having major live entertainment, or not risking paying that much for live entertainment. We don't come cheap. Depending on what you want, it can cost you well into the five figures to have us for a weekend. In fact, for a full weekend it will be in the five figures.
There's six musicians, four roadies, one person in sound. They've all gotta get paid. Five of the musicians get paid every week, even if they don't perform. So, we have to hold onto our money that we make and be pretty smart about it.
Most of it is going south of us anyhow. It's just a light rain and it'll pass within a couple hours. We're prepared to play outside.
As if by magic, the sun broke through the clouds at 16:00, in time for the first band.
