Hot weather, high bills
Yesterday I had two double bookings. One could be seen as my fault. I offered they said can you pay more? I said no. They said, oh, okay, got it. They didn't say, We'll take it. I understood them to mean, okay, they understood my price, but not that they accepted. I had to tell her I didn't have this gig for her, but I will try to find another spot for her.
The other one was arranged in November long before I came along and I don't know what we're going to go there. How do you let the world know that they need to have more than an email to hold these dates. I will face that one today. If it were my business I wouldn't let these handshake deals get started months before the series.
M&M is off to Illinois again today so I am going to move the office this afternoon (a little). We only have a computer and chair. I will try to get phone service moved, too. Bother. She told me if all the checks go through that she has written she will be $16000 in the hole. And how am I supposed to remedy that? I think I'm depositing one check for her today for $3000, max. Most of these checks are going out tomorrow to people, to be cashed, certainly, before she is back! I putting out some invoices, but that money won't be in before she is back. Stress stress stress.
Great time last night on the east side. I drank too much, though. It was hot so I drank to cool off. Way hot. We were putting ice down our shirts and on our heads and necks and wrists trying to cool off. I don't know how the band did it. We were sitting on the "low" side of the floor and it felt like we were in a valley.
M and T's family from Holland is here visiting. T left for work and left his stepmother there, but he set the alarm. She opened the garage door to get some water and set off the system. Poor thing.
