much to the venue's credit, the band (it's not my band, I was to be filling in) had played their a couple of weeks ago and nobody showed up because the weather sucked, but they still payed up without trying to back out of it or haggle, then asked them to play new years for $100 more than they had just payed. The resons they backed out on this one was that several (like 6 or 7) of the regulars complained (basicly they want about 5 top 40 CD's on shuffle, not blues/ rock), and the weather is supposed to be bad again (we think). Anway, their was no contract, if they try and book my band, I'll probably turn it down.
