Yes, the deal is - and Hoyt is too professional to say it publicly, but I'm not - he booked **4** shows at Sidelines about 4-6 weeks ago. This was to be the first one since our show with To/Die/For was a success. Alex, the sound guy for Sidelines (and before that, the Darkside), owned the PA that was in the room at Sidelines after the Darkside moved out. Alex quit and took his system - he told me at the TDF show that it was the last show it would be there for.
SO.....the guy that runs Sidelines had no PA. And knew he had 4 shows booked. And we found out last night that he hadn't gotten a new one installed like he said he would, even after over a month. Just unprofessional as hell.
What I'm worried about is this - if SL doesn't get their crap together, we have 3 great shows lined up that will not happen. One is the weekend after PP, and I GUARANTEE all of you will cream your pants when the lineup is announced. There's also a Halloween show booked that is going blow the roof off. Now all 3 shows, including next week's, are in jeopardy.
*sigh*
Rock and roll....
