Rich, Megan, Scott, Jon - I do appreciate the shows you put together as subsidiary bookers. And I do give credit where credit is due. The flyers were phenomenal, and I appreciate when the bands promote in tandem with me.

When I used the term "handled promotion for the venue", it means:

a. I was NOT given a budget for ads/promo by the owner
b. I had to publicize events at the venue by sending out press releases/listings to the media and posting on boards, using mailing lists, etc.

You guys did well and I really appreciate ALL subsidiary bookers who approached me about setting up shows. Some great bands played at Skybar over the years.

In regard to one band stating that they "didn't get paid dick", it was probably because there were less than 14 paying clients that night, and/or the band drew no one. In the confirmatory email I sent out to bands who get booked at Skybar, I CLEARLY stated our payout policy:

Bar takes first $100 off the door ($70 for soundguy, $30 for doorguy); rest gets divvied up among the bands according to draw (that's why we ask patrons which bands they are there to see). Bands who do not draw, do not get paid.
