Promoter doesn't arrange ride for headliner - demands deposit back via threats

[esoter1c]

I can't believe Reid Speed threatened to put a bullet in her head.

where are the managers and contracts in all this? seriously.

while i dont agree whatsoever with what the promoter did, as a "small" female deejay, why did she not protect herself, at the very least, legally. further to that, who opens the door to a small thug-like group of people, they dont know in a city they arent familiar in?! i know none of what happened was her fault, but a little bit of commonsense goes a long way.

wood/soo - how often do you play out of town for a promoter you dont know without a contract?

actually, if you read the whole thing - she *did* have a contract.

If you read the e-mail exchange, the promoter even admits to not sending someone to pick her up too...

And if you check the dates, this literally happened a few days ago so I'm sure there are still repercussions coming.

i am just playing devils advocate, but seriously....

as a "small" female dj, why was she not more vigilant with her personal well-being and safety.

i never hear of this shit happening to bri, she has got to be one of the most professional "small" female djs i know.

Bri's only been at it for a few years tho. I'm sure everyone has their own story of sketchy promoters - some more severe than others...
