Re: Damn anklebitters
I just recently worked with a promoter for about 2 months squaring away production for a concert he was doing, with a national band with a rider, along with a generator, etc. After all the preparation work, the promoter decided that he was going to hire "someone highly recommended that does all the Christian events in the area." To try to get back in the door, I told the promoter that I'd meet their price (mind you, I already advanced the show and we were 100% ready). He still went with the other company.
I should also mention that the other company brought an EAW line array for less than $1k.
That night, after the stage guy (a friend of mine) loaded out, he texts me, "The generator those guys brought quit in the middle of the show. National headliner did an acoustic set with no power."
I guarantee I'll be getting the call for that show next time!
