Hey Josh. Sorry to jerk you around, but one of the
bands we were waiting to hear back from emailed last
night and said they could play. So with them and you
there would be too many bands for the time we've got
in the space. There is a chance one of the bands might
cancel, in which case you could take their spot.
Again, sorry.

-Mike

I'd just keep it short and polite

"okay np - let me know. thx."

 

[Josh Seipp]

you left out 'dickwad'

 

[avi]

eh, booking is a shitty business so I always try to keep things as polite and concise as possible.

 

[xfer]

maybe they were scared you were all Christian and anti-swearing after hearing that version of "where eagles dare".

 

[deadair]

yea, just be nice. if you get mean now it might come back to haunt you.

booking is a crappy job.

 

[FrostGiant]

Don't burn any bridges until you have to. If they jerk you around again then I would.

 

[FuSoYa]

I'm in touch with that guy too, he seems nice enough. Keeping it polite is definitely a good idea.

 

[Josh Seipp]

I wasn't REALLY going to call him a dickwad, sheesh. but he should have said he was still waiting to hear from someone instead of just saying hey can you guys play.

so unprofessional!

 

[minxnim]

yea i think he should have mentioned that he was asking someone else and would be waiting to hear from them first. still. i guess be nice. (me = not usually nice)

 

[kleo706]

Dear Jerk,

If your mom told you about someone calling up and screaming at her for birthing you, it was me. Dickwad.

xoxoxo

[Josh Seipp]

also why can't you assholes just humor me for once. fuck you guys (not you preppy & kleo).

 

[0sm0se]

I say don't respond at all. Show up at the show, rush the stage, dragging that guy on stage with you, and sacrifice him by tearing out his still beating heart with a hooked blade like an Aztec paying tribute to Quetzalcoatl. or you could show up wasted, heckle, and throw bottles at the stage. I wholeheartedly encourage that.

 

[Josh Seipp]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Or find out where he lives, and go Viking-style on his domicile, take all that is valuable, and leave the building as a structure fire. I'm assuming no wife because he lacks the necessary balls to attract women.

[Josh Seipp]

ok just as an update here I replyed with 'OK - let me know."

this was just a venty thread

 

[deadair]

venty threads are nice though

 

[Josh Seipp]

well thanks for not helping at all
