And I'm not saying I like his attitude or shit he's done at all. as I've probably been around him more than anyone of us.  But unless it gets out of hand then maybe just keep it as is but be aware incase future things arise?

>>> In terms of dropping him as a bottomliner because of his moodiness/jerkiness, I don't think we should at this point.  On the one hand, its going to be perceived as linked to this drama now whether we want it to be or not, and two, We're not doing enough shows, we're not making enough money, and Darryl and Jill pick up a lot of the slack that we're all collectively dropping. Unless his moodiness gets out of control or comes to a point where people don't want to come to shows because of him I don't think it merits action. Whether we get along with him enough to keep wanting to work with him or have him peripherally involved in the collective is something I can't personally speak to yet because I haven't hung out with the dude that much. So Idk. 
>>> Also, I'm kind of outraged at the initial message sent by Kate.  Who do people think we are?? The drama mediators/police? Why is this city so fucking annoying right now!!!!!!
>>> Love you all though, for real.

I think someone should at least talk to her about what happened before we do anything. And if we're going to do something we should probably try working with him before we ban him (we don't do that remember).

I have heard from others that he is somewhat possessive From others but unless Jill tells me Im not sure what do to as I don't want to feel like making decisions without her if that makes sense.

I'm not mad thatKate  brought this up, I think she did what she thought was best but I'm also confused why people come to us so much. I feel like the shit talk is really between them, and it's Vancouver, shit talk is as normal as the rain.
