Dave, I'm a big fan of afternoon gigs and getting home early. That Indian take away sounds good too. Daryl

Nice pics. Looks like a fancy venue. Daryl

Hiding gigs? I would be devastated if my band did that to me. Sounds like an up front arrangement could be made. I hope everything works out. Daryl

It does look tight for space. I'm glad you guys had a good time. Daryl

Our Saturday holiday gig was cancelled. So, no gigs this weekend. I guess the venue doubled booked. I'll never understand how that happens. Daryl

Very Nice Daryl

We had a crowd, however it was awkward.Nice room, nice stage and sound. We bought our own lighting. Like I said this place is more for the Saturday night party bands. There were a few "screw ups" musically . Good paying gig and some nice tips. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BTJQAGVN2/ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17qH8nAp5f/ Daryl

Agreed Daryl

Nice depping. Nobody ever calls me for anything. Daryl

Nice Starfire ! Daryl

Maple Road Saturday 11/22/25 7:00-9:00 "Join us in the newly revamped Eden Ave. event venue located inside Game Over, downtown West Bend! Full bar, killer food menu including smash burgers and a Saturday night of live rockin' blues tunes!" I don't know about this one. I have one main concern. This is downtown West Bend (30k). We're not a 3 hour Saturday night party band. We're a better fit for the larger Summertime afternoon multi-band festivals and fairs, playing for 1.5 hours. This could be a real dud. I've been wrong before. And here's another issue. Dep drummer. Daryl

The guy was a real " peice of work". I'll try and find a pic of the band. Daryl

I don't think I can top being spat on. I remember playing a club where they put us in a separate room with no bar. The clientle were in their early 20s. They would walk into the room we were playing in and immediately take an " about face" and walk out. Lol Daryl

You might be right Pete. Wiki has been wrong in the past. Daryl

Dave,Some venues like Harley might pay them by direct deposit a month prior to the gig.The BL and Band Manager pay us with their own money. I'm sure this is very rare. It's really very nice. I'm always handed a pay envelope when I get in the van. Dave, it's kind of cool. I've played in bands in the past who handled money very poorly. Here's a sad story. I was actually in sort of a Glam band in the early 2000s. We played Shank Hall in Milwaukee ( referenced in the 1st Spinal Tap movie ). We took in $900.00 in cash. The BL didn't pay any of us and he kept all the money . The band broke up a few days later. Daryl
