Seriously, how can someone be a promoter and be broke? If a promoter cannot pay-out the people that they hire that night, there is something economically wrong with their situation. Trying to floss like they are high-rollers but in all seriousness, they are some broke ass jokes that don't make any money at promoting. The folks that run
THIS SO-CALLED PROMOTIONS COMPANY are just that. They couldn't hit off a $300 payment at the end of the night. How sad is that. They couldn't get enough business to make $300? And even so, they didn't have $300 in their wallet to pay-out someone? Seriously sad.
I'm an old cat with a new bat, don't forget it. I've been doing the Hollywood club scene for MANY years now. People like this, I've seen them come and go. Like these clowns... they don't realize that they'll be out of business in a year, broke ... and I'll still be in the Hollywood scene. Makin' my money with business people that also make money. Teemaree said it best, "How can I do business with someone that doesn't have any money?"
It's bad business and it shows no character for people to say something - make a verbal contract even - and not uphold their word. In the REAL WORLD, there is no such thing as "I'll pay you tomorrow". The only circumstance that would have me accept this sort of deal is if it was a good friend of mine that I have known for a while. Someone I trust.
The night that these guys couldn't pay-out, some crazy dude who kept calling me "pimp", seriously put himself into a bad situation. He just doesn't get it... and that's fine. Like I said, he'll be back to his 9-5 within the year and I'll still be in the scene makin' my money.
I actually feel really bad for these people. But at the same time, your character really shows a lot and determines how things will play out.
God is watchin' People should remember that!
