mothy wothy, i imagine what he means is that his own personal money coming out of his own pocket to pay the touring bands that have gurantees and maybe liking the band so much that he takes a hit over a draw compared to musical integrity or something like that hta thsh? and not to mention liking a local band so putting them on the show even though you know they will not bring too many people out.I love reading posts from touring and/or local bands complaining about concert promoters. It only further validates everything that I have personally sacrificed by putting on these shows.
sacrifices for the sake of support as oppossed to just making money?--------->i could be WAY OFF but i stink maybe perhaps that's something kind of kind of like what he means. and that is why i would never ever want to be a promoter. too stressful. so my respect goes out to all of those promoters that find a happy sunshine unicorn filled middle ground. taking chances on bands, taking hits now and again, and making money for themselves and bands.
