Hi.

I've managed to abstain posting in this thread because I wanted to see where it would go.

To clear up any confusion here's what happened to us on the night of the party.

* We were delayed crossing the border (not anyone's fault really)
* We got to the hotel specified to us by the promoter only to find there was no reservation for us
* We waited an hour for the promoter to come to the hotel and then another hour for them to try and find another hotel for us
* We didn't actually manage to unpack and get some rest before the show until 1 am (2hrs before my set)
* We got paid half of what we agreed.
* The promoter wanted us to pay for the hotel

I'm sorry, but that's unacceptable. I saved the promoter close to $2000 by managing to fly myself out rather than them paying for the airfare. And working with Milo and many other promoters in North America we managed to put together a tour. Considering that alone, everything else should have been sorted. Milo has every right to kick up a stink because considering the numbers game and our combined booking fee, it still totals to *less* than what it would have if the promoter had flown only me out and paid me my booking fee. Surely they could have done that, but no.

The problem was that the promoter kept on promising that we would be paid in full, and delaying it and delaying it. First it was after my set, then after Milo's set, then they said 9am then after we checked out of hotel. After all this, they stopped picking up the phone and sent us a lovely message to "get out of Montreal".

I'm sure everyone would agree that is completely unacceptable to treat any of their artists, let alone an international who has done *them* a favour by saving them huge flight expenses.

Great party, crappy promoters.
