so -- I had another thread -- but can't remember what I called it. (about 3 weeks ago)
anyhow... it was about an ex-employer who's gone above and beyond taking advantage of me.
... I finaly stood my ground and sent an email stating i will no longer do anymore work or updating to his site until I receive some compensation etc...
His reply to me "... even though you're a pain in the ass, I still love you. Come to my party - forget about all this and we'll figure it out later."
I'm easily duped with the 'love' and 'friend' bit.
I'm crying right now.
lame.

go to the party,
have a good time
and before you leave hand him his bill
and see if he's still smiling

Do you Need the money for bills and shit, or just want to get paid. There's a difference. If you really Need the money, explain that to him. If you just want to get paid, then, well you need to work out terms. Maybe he don't have the money either. Sit down, talk to each other, and be honest about everything and your situation. Its your best bet.

Dump the motherfucker. even if he is your so-called friend.
psychologically i'd say you look up to him, like Stokes did to Irving.. that is bad, really bad.you should be the man,
and i mean
hardcore
THE MAN!
and dump the motherfucker and his pathetic "forget about it parties".

Sorry but if your "friend" can afford to throw a party, he can afford to pay you.

nah... no real tears.
the party was saturday.
huge event at Saks Fifth Avenue - everything from a fashion show to gogo dancers. (see the thread for 'pimp intern' for a visual)
ya'll are right... this thing was so big too (the event)... but what's sad.. is pretty much everything form drinks to gogo dancers to runway models - music - projection ... EVERYTHING he got without cost - because he can 'promote' them... with his new website.
a-hole.
I post more pics of the event in the next couple of days... and some video - it was actually pretty damn cool.

Yeah, friends are capable of doing the worst things...

Stick to what you said, no more working until you get paid. Parties are fine, but you did the work. I'm assuming you didn't have a contract? If you have a contract, get some legal advice.

anyway, THE worst industry to be used and be run over and get shit for sweating is the "party-biz", entertainment etc.etc.
no matter where on this globe.
trust me, i have been thru this shit, but ditched some fuckers real hard, as they deserved it.
