[Blacklabcollective] Petrify gig

[mick mccann]

Aww you sweet heart! Carly gave me her old back pack and I've enough cash from this Cheque to go buy another 80$ water bottle. I know it's pricy and possibly silly but I like cold water lol. I lost some books and good headphones but could've been worse. 

Yeah I think I'll start checking into the gigs she wants more and see if the bands are gonna bring people. The main band were metalcore which never had a drawer. X

No idea if there's a way to preemptively know how poorly attended shows are gonna be (what the fuck do i know about punk, nothing?) but maybe we should sign up on less shows propsed by Cheyenne or others unless we're actually stoked on the bands? But then on the other hand we sign up on shows just to help out and try to make money. Maybe we can't know in advance. In any case I'm really sorry you had a shitty experience. You already did so much work that it sucks you would have to face a personal loss on top of it! I'm gonna find you a new nice back pack, did you lose anything valuable in it?
