In September, the Canton Liquor Commission suspended the bar's Class B license for 60 days after city officials said they received complaints about exposed breasts during an August midget wrestling event there.

+1!

who complains about topless midget wrestling really

This kind of thing happens more often than you may think. Everything from 50's doo-wop groups to the classic rock bands that are just enough to make you say, "hey, yeah, I remember they were great, I bet I could sell out my club with that gig."

You get some smooth talker and next thing you know you're paying guarantee fees, etc. The "sell" is that the club owner pays for the band to show up, and then the club owner is responsible for promotion and ticket sales. The only problem is that the manager/booker has nothing to do with the band.

There should be a special criminal classification and circle of hell for people like this: Assholes Who Ruin It For The Rest Of Us.

Now she's just riding the storm out.

No way REO gets 69k for a gig.

If I were that owner, I'd wish I had that cash here with me.

I have "you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish" somewhere on LP... it's pretty good...

"high infidelity"... umm yeah not so much...

I might pay that much to castrate the lead singer with a branding iron. Assuming Creed is booked already.

The same idiot who would get scammed by a phony REO Speedwagon booker.

That headline has me Cronin in disgust.

Reminds me of that show "Still Standing". Sister of Jamie Gertz goes out with a guy in a Foghat tribute band.

"We just lost out on a Foghat Tribute gig because another band was willing to work cheaper than us"

other guy says "another tribute band"

first guy " No, Foghat"

I heard this from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another.

I would think an actual "REO Speedwagon" would cost much more than booking the band for a night.

Congratulations submitter

/tried to tune my piano but ended up tuning my fish
//don't like my funny? fark you and take a flying turkey trot

anybody stupid to pay that much for REO
(who sucked from the beginning)
deserves what they git

goshdarnit

I bet he booked them because he was told Gary Rickrath would be
playing with them that night...

It's 'Richrath', and believe it or not, the guys still put on a kickass live show.

On 'Live, You Get What You Play For', the liner notes said thanks to Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Mo.... It's in Kansas City, KS dumbasses.

what? me, bitter?

Actually know someone in the biz' that booked REO near the end of 08, but iirc their real fee was something like 40-45k

oh, and subby, generally, a tavern has rooms you can stay in.

New band. Kevin Cronin and Gary Richrath shirtless and in
a steel cage mud pit: R.E.O. Mudwrasslin'
