Quote:I've had people crash gigs I've played rather than pay the cover charge. I don't like it, not because it hampered my exposure -- it obviously increased it -- but rather, because it makes it harder to line that gig up again, because the owner rates our value with two metrics: the gate, and drinks sold. It didn't kill a career, because I've never been in a band that garnered more than local interest; but it did make it harder to make money making music.How did they crash? Didn't the venue have security?
