Moonglow Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Something like that actually happened to me. Back in the day, when I was single, again, I was on a gig and noticed a girl who appeared anxious to talk to me. As I came off the stage for the second break of the night, the girl approached me, introduced herself, etc.. After about five minutes of talking, she asked me a favor: Would I personally introduce her to the lead singer ? Apparently she was frustrated by the long line of girls waiting to talk to him, and wanted a shortcut... Perhaps she would have been willing to negotiate?

Stokely Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Stuff never heard--a soundcheck, period. We don't normally get one, and honestly with the digital board we are using we don't need one, providing everyone is consistent with their settings from gig to gig. The board can play back multi-track recordings of each instrument from a past gig so if there is a bit of time, our bass player/soundman can tweak each channel/whole PA for the room before anyone else gets there.

NEGOTIATION: Getting unwashed, unshaven, untrained roadies laid by hot young women, who want to actually sleep with the singer, since the British Invasion.
