Bentsen" data-source="post: 215835" data-attributes="member: 263">Do you have a written contract you can enforce?If not, you're probably SOOL, these things happens frequently in places with no contracts or agreements based on a handshake.I'd had that happen a few times, some people can be talked into a return to a better agreement  and maybe a contract.Some don't give a shit.I'd have a chat with them and see what can be worked out. Especially if someone else "blows" a show, you get some leverage in negotiating a better deal. Don't commit to work there in competition with others unless  you have a written agreement, that never works out. It's the tech version of playing for exposure IMHO.Also, don't fall in to the trap of trying to make others look bad on their shift by "forgetting" to reset something after a gig.I've  been on the receiving end of that a few times, it's just bad  for everyone.If it doesn't work out to your satisfaction, I'd raise my rates  and l look for work elsewhere in your situation.</blockquote>
