Let's see...

First I would take money out of the tip jar
to pay the so-called "volunteers." Then the
coffeehouse owner would be upset that other
people were getting paid from the tip jar,
and he would reconsider giving us the venue
for free. Finally, we would be charging $20
admission, with a $2.50 surcharge for the
booking fee. At that point we could consider
using the Performance Center in Kirkland, the
musicians would get a big guaranteed fee,
and everyone would be happy. And look at all
the employment we would generate for ushers,
ticket-takers, stage hands, sound and lighting
techs, etc. etc.

Good Idea!
