[Blacklabcollective] totals for tonight plus rant

[Anju Singh]

That is super shitty Tara, I'm really sorry about the situation, it's not
fair to you or Quinn at all. Obviously, I wouldn't approve her to do
another gig at Black Lab and I feel like maybe we should say something to
her but also it might be worth it to cut our losses.

I would like to help share the brunt of the shiftiness, obviously I can't
go back and help or tell everyone to go fuck themselves but what if I sent
you some cash to contribute to a nice dinner for you and Quinn?
