mapsedge: Me at Stone Bridge Coffee House (Default)
My audience was sparse but kind, most of them friends or acquaintances, which is just fine. Always good to see friendly faces. The venue itself, though...

I don't mind playing gratis now and again, but I'd like some consideration from the venue: a latté, or a sandwich. Not so, tonight: drip coffee only, anything else I was a paying customer. It also helps if the person booking the act doesn't treat the act as an inconvenience. You asked me, honey, not the other way around, but you made me feel like a trespasser. Fu-u-u-ck you.

I considered packing my gear and walking out when She said, over Her shoulder no less and without breaking stride, "Drip coffee only," but I said I'd do it without ever specifying terms, so I did it. Never again, though. Not for free, anyway.
