You should have went back the next day with some friends and ordered a really big meal and then when they brought you the check, you should've said... I'm sorry but when you pay me what you owe me than I'll pay what I owe you.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a restaurant or bar. Itvwas a nonprofit organization that helps the Mentally Ill. The gig wasn't to provide funds but to give their members a social outlet.

8) You can then write it off as a charitable contribution on your taxes since you didn't get paid. The administrator for the program should be willing to write you out a receipt so you can take it off yours taxes.

Facts. Until I found this forum, it hadn't even occurred to me that this was an issue.

And even then, now that I know? In my travels, it's probably 80% pirate shows. Heck, SmoothEdge is probably the only person whose shows I have been to that I can safely vouch for as not pirating stuff.

You are still on my list! Smooth's one show just happens to be less than a mile from my one work stop when I'm down there, and I'm typically staying in Ft. Myers.

BTW, I take summer and fall off for travel, so I am not doing shows from May through October.

I was just down to one of Smoothe's show this past April. If I had known that you were around there, I would have taken an extra day or so to visit you as well.

I'm in Sarasota, and Smoothe is in Venice/North Port. That is only 15 to 30 miles apart depending on where the shows are.

I usually see him in the Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda area.

Cue, any time you are going to head down there, let me know. I'm there for work once a month or once every other month.
