It seems that Diegos is having live music these days, is it a regular occurance or just the occasional special night, and is it a flat rate of pay or the same old get the door scenario that all the clubs are doing that i`m sick and tired of. - Thu, 11 Nov 2004 10:10am

Let`s just say I like to know how much I`ll have in my pocket after an 8 hr. shift of moving gear and playing my ass off so i know how much i can blow at the casino the next day. - Thu, 11 Nov 2004 5:14pm

But Dr Vee...you still have your ass....anyhow I personally think Diegos is another great place to play and it's just awesome with the "Palm Trees" in there. All they need is a blackjack table and free drinks and you'd never have to leave.;-) - Thu, 11 Nov 2004 7:17pm

I agree with the comment about bands only getting the door. It sucks. Why does tha sound guy get $100, and a band with 5 people in it only gets $100-$150 to split between them. Back in the day some places actually paid the band and didn't charge cover. They found they sold more beer when there was no cover so it actually offset the cost of paying the band. - Fri, 12 Nov 2004 5:02pm

If you want to make the big money, you have to draw the big crowds.
Although I disagree with the band having to pay the soundman (never worth it unless it's someone as talented as John Borys), I am all for the band reaping what they sow at the door. If you suck and draw 20 people, you should be paid accordingly. - Fri, 12 Nov 2004 5:18pm

Although that article is basically common sense, it is a good read for musicians who are out of touch with reality. - Thu, 18 Nov 2004 6:39pm

Mr. Hell, if that photo is any indication, your cat must think you are out of touch with reality! - Fri, 19 Nov 2004 11:18am

My cat ran away, so I fashioned turds out of Tootsie Rolls and lined the litter box with them.
Reminds me of my cat. - Fri, 19 Nov 2004 6:35pm

ahhh....yes, I see made them out of tootsie rolls, very realistic too. How....um....how creative. That's entirely different, terribly sorry to hear about your cat, can't imagine why the cat would want to run away. What's that? Would I like to see how you "remind" yourself about old girlfriends? Uhmmm...gosh look at the time. I really can't stay, perhaps another time. Sorry I have to run away...I mean be going now. - Sat, 20 Nov 2004 2:26pm
