What kind of dumb assumption is that? Christ, they bring bands in from all
over Europe. He's right next to them in the same country and should have
been a lot cheaper than the others. Plus they booked Dirty Dozen this year.
They must have cost a shitpot full more than Jim's band.

Damn, he never even contacted them back last year or this year and he got
"NATIONAL EXPOSURE" playing at the Coronation of their fucking KING? What a
damn fool when it comes to promoting his band.

Cheers,
Steve
