Chad Leonard Staples grow some balls and own up to your crap, stop deleting all the good replies back to your post attempting to bash me, make me look bad, and claim i am greedy, and the ones that explain things clearly. All you are doing is causing drama, i understand that ppl such as yourself feed off this kinda crap, but i thought so much better of you. i was completely the middle man in all this crap... but after the first of the year, please do go take a day and go meet with the pastor at the church, his name is eric schultz, the church phone number i believe is 623.878.4747, and thier main office is held out of the same location as the brightstar... he will tell you all the same things i did to a t, cause i was literally reading the contract to you. i had nothing to do with any of the financial stuff what-so-ever, the thing you don't understand is you can't book a show and make thousands of dollars, it costs a ton of money to have a venue open, which i took the time to write out for you and explain and you STILL didn't listen or care... i was trying to be nice, and take time to explain this all to you, but then it became clear you didn't even care, you just wanted the drama... wll, im done with all your lame drama, you sit here and pull the christian card time and time again... yet you yourself a "christian" did so much wrong with your purpose behind all this, mocking the situation, mocked God, mocked myself, you're pointing the finger and assuming sooooo much, and honestly you are so far from correct, and then any good post that was made, you went and deleted to make yourself look in the right. im not sure who ______blood is, but he said alot of good things, things that maybe made you realize how in the wrong you are, but instead of realzing it, you went and deleted his comments, so all this stuff can continue... i know you have a hard time realizing you are actually in the wrong with this, but you should really consider stepping back and thinking about this.
way to go chad, you got some attention... wanna still pull the christian card? think about everything you've done, seriously stop and think. you know so much better than this... so much assumption and false accusations in this whole post... chad if you want things to get messy let me know, i know alot of things on the business side of this whole post i could get you on, and you of all ppl, mr. my band played late so im gonna have my mommy come in and get involved and sue the venue. chad i honestly can't believe you did all this, but i hope you're happy...
for the record i am going to post this in my livejournal aswell, so you can't actually go and delete it!
love,
me
p.s. heres the fincial breakdown for all those who care to see, becuase the story did get warped quite a bit... and i atleast would rather have people know the harsh facts instead of some crazy numbers and things that have been said. this is what i wrote chad....
ok, heres the break down of the money for shows for an outside promoter....
the room fee is $350, which covers electrical, booking the room lighting sound, and all that jazz... pretty much "holding the room" for the night... alot of cables end up getting miss placed, holes in walls, things getting broken, so that fee covers that...
then due to insurance policies new life comminuty church has to have two paid unniformed officers at the shows which each cost $175 for 4 hours.... the church is no longer allowed to have "moshing" or "slam dancing" and stuff becuase of kids hurting themselves, a lil girl got hurt at a show a while back and almost sued the church for a very very very large sum of money when they had nothing to do with it...
the clean up crew (church parking lot, mop and vacuum the room, clean the bathrooms) so the church can be ready the next day runs for $150)
and IFFFF the show goes amazing, then the sound crew / staff gets $100 to split between them selves, thats like $10 bux a person for a whole days work.... we have to get up there starting a 4pm and we don't leave until 1-2am
now do the math... lets say 500 kids come at a $7 show, that means the profit is $3,500 off the door... in that case the church does a 60% you 40% us split so we can put money into savings to upgrade and such.... still allows you to walk away with over $2,000 to pay all the bands and such.
all this is just becuase the church HAS to cover thier butts and has been screwed over way to many times, so yeah i think that everything, and hopefully it explains things very very clearly.. |

i miss james david cawley, and how we used to hang out all the time, and how goofy he was, how he was always talking about what food he wanted, and what cd's or gear he just bought... of course this is in a completly straight way... but it was cool having a best guy friend(if you will).... i feel like we broke up and he never talked to me again, but i never really knew what happend, i was way bummed/hurt in the begining, but i dunno... just wierd how things went down.
just a random thing that been on my mind thats all |
