[Ruff House]

First and foremost we do apologize to Q for the hotels being booked outside of downtown, for him having to commute to Richmond, and for the fact that his escort's vehicle was towed during sound check creating further complications. I want him to know that if he felt mistreated we would have happily discussed his concerns to ensure his visit was satisfyinh for him. We offer an apology to SPK for not recognizing who he is. I do apologize for the swearing and if you felt threatened by my posts. I'm sorry for expecting you to recognize me as well, considering I was unaware of you before this incident. Sorry if you feel we mistreated your F.R.I.E.N.D.

Explanation: when you PM me saying you want involvemnt in a show, you expected me to recognize that I had failed and assumed I needed help. At that time I did not know about all the problems that you have since mentioned. So yes, you were disregarded. Sorry. Now that I know the concerns I can address them. You may have been throwing parties since '91 and have achieved "perfect host status", but I am still young in this biz and I'm not fading away any time soon. This was all a misunderstanding over an insignificant post. Simply respect the boundaries of a business and keep this shit private.

P.S. words not to use to avoid beef: VPD, meth-addict, rookie twat, just to name a few.

PM could have been sufficient, no?

Meh... it's FNK. Everyone airs their dirty laundry out here I guess. :)

PS... Your post only confirms your newbie status "in the biz", and you contradicted yourself in keeping matters private.
Just thought I would point that out.

In ruffhouses defense on this one. I happen to know that he was threatened into posting this as a public apology by Spk. I really don't want to see this escalated, so we have removed the thread in question from public forum. If this is your site I think you'll understand that we aren't on this forum to stir shit up.:crooked:

Obviously, I would hate to sustain any "member to member" escalation on the site. Just a general suggestion that perhaps a PM or an attempt in personal contact would have been preferable if this is a sensitive "business" related topic.

I think if this was a sincere apology, a "reader" might not see that, especially into the second paragraph. Also, to be "threatened" and to utilize this site as a mediator is something that I feel a bit disturbed about.

Going forward, this thread will be read-only.

Steve,

Thanks for taking this step. I appreciate it. I know how hard it is when you're just starting out and trying to build your dream - sometimes you get very protective of it. That's fair. It means you have the passion to be successful in this madness of the music biz.

Please keep me posted of your progress and let me again offer you any help you might need along the way.

All my best,

Sean
