I just want you all to know I am living proof that nice guys finish last.
But at the end of the day, I'm still a nice guy, (gal) so I got that going for me.

For those of you who remember the story about my little project that got shit all over by bullies who threatened to beat me up, and then took all my hard work and ideas, claimed it for their own, accused me of stealing and immoral behaviour AND bad mouthed me and my staff to the local music community, of which I have been a member for fourteen years........
...shut down by the cops and the city.
I never loved the sound of "cease and desist" so much.
Should get interesting. Stay tuned.
And I'll take finishing "last" any day of the week, its much more layered, there is humor to be found in aggravation. Just have to look for it.

Mart is good and says "hello".
He also dished the 411 on my business that got snaked out from under me.
Cease and desist included a charge of " deceptive business practices", as in fraud, class d felony.
This is what happens when you bring gold chain wearing oontz, oontz trolls to do a man's ( woman's) job. Fuckers.
Sorry, I can't gloat in public so I'm doing it here.

So is the place shuttered for good or will they beg you to come back and run it like the pro that you are?

The place is partially shuttered, the trolls have told their clients " use at your own risk" . So essentially all of these bands nave a room, that they paid money for, that they have a lease for, and the " management / owners" ( and I use that term very loosely) can't honor the agreement they signed, or guarantee that for your rent money you can use your space,access your gear, or even get into the building at will.
Methinks there is a problem.
And I will not be going back to clean up a bunch of millionaire pipsqueak's messes. The damage is done. I was threatened by a four foot troll wearing a fucking pookah shell necklace who essentially tried to pants me In front of a bunch of dudes by pointing out my gender. ( the new 'mangement'). I had to call in three guys with tire irons and fucking baseball bats to get it straight. All of this condoned and allowed by my so called " bosses". Fuck those guys and the green monkeys they hump on the weekends. I will not be put in the position of ever cow towing to them again. I continue to hold down the job I do because it s a paycheck, I hold no illusions to who or what I work for, but I have limits.
Let them Figure it out, they'll have to when i'm gone, might as well start now.
I'm all for forgiveness, I've forgiven everyone involved in this for the humiliation and complete disrespect, but the issue I have is with the forgetting part. I can turn the other cheek almost immediately, but I hang onto the kernel of The issue until I feel I've been avenged. Revenge is mine sayeth the lord. He usually has a way better plan than I do, so I let him have at it. I help wherever possible.
I'm half drunk and planning to play with my pulpit tonight.
Wish you all were here.
