Dear Catters:

It was so nice to have a place to unload, so thank you all. I have calmed down a bit since, so thought I would report what we actually did.

After I got off the phone I called my band mate and asked her to take over the negotiations. Figuring that I was beyond reason. She contacted the venue and arranged to take the gigs.   We asked my husband to haul and set up sound so that we could make a couple of the dates and one date, we will just be late.

We decided that not taking the gigs was really not an option. There are not that many venues in our City and pissing off a venue is just not good business for us in the long run. However, we will definintely get things in writing in the future.

I am curious, do most of you send out contracts to pubs. I always send them for events, but usually not pub gigs.

Thanks, Claire
