    mate of mine who:

    - books show for a indie band in a gallery. asks me to do sound for free.

    (i agree because i've heard this band and they're wimpy as fuck, can do it with a couple of vocal mics and the galleries tiny PA)

    - puts his loud as fuck punk band as support...

    (i tell him i'm not going to do it any more because i agreed on the basis of not having to bring much gear)

    - asks if he can borrow my PA, mics, stands, and bass amp because the gallery PA isn't going to be big enough for his band.

    fuuuuuccckkkk youuuuu!!!

    • if i hire my rehearsal room PA for £50, and it breaks I need it to work the following week and even one cable costs £50... if someone's not even paying for hirekingsteven
    • they're not even going to fork out £50 if it breaks! i use it for my own shows, and my mics... but i know it's on me to replace it all if it blows up.kingsteven
