Members scarecrowbob Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 My venue's list has separate charges fro "xlr for vocal mic for drummer" and "unmute drummer vox in FOH". I don't know why. I didn't write that rule. But I have occasionally been glad that they are separated by a couple of lines, so usually you only get one or the other.

Members agedhorse Posted November 16, 2011 Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 Is it possible your mood causes price fluctuations as well? Possibly, but usually I staet in a pretty good mood and it gets adjusted downward as the act's general bitching starts... bad catering usually begins the process, followed by not enough crew, check not available as agreed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
