Nebraska is really flat. Because it's so flat, and we did nothing but sleep off Monday's gig last night, I have no stimulating current events to write about. That makes me want to tell you about other, non-current events, like Mountainside Mardi Gras. But I can't even tell you what artists we are negotiating with.
Because we could get sued.
It's actually a funny aspect of music promotion which is more indicative of the state of justice in the US than anything else. See, turns out if you announce that an artist will be performing at your festival, people get really excited. If the artist cancels, and its your fault, people get really angry. So angry, in fact, they can sue and seek emotional damages in a court of law!
How silly, no? We've all heard of the woman who sued McDonald's because her coffee was too hot, albeit the fact that is was she herself who spilled the drink on her own lap. I guess at For/Sure Productions we could view such emotional attachment to our event as flattery, but I struggle to imagine a situation where the public cries about brass bands to the point of litigation.
But I'm not telling you which brass bands. (You might sue).
In Frogs Gone Fishin' news, we sold some CD's in The Netherlands.... Dank je wel!
