Denied!
Hey kids how's it?
Well there's a little bad news from the world of Soul Candy. We were going to play GK 10 for it's 1st year anniversary (despite all my reservations about it), but I know you need a park permit to do so. So we were prepared to do just that and the band would pay the fees--maybe around $200. But unfortunately there is another requirement: liability insurance. And we would need to buy a policy. According to the park guys it could be between $200 and $400! So that's like a possible $600 just to play some songs in front of a bunch of geeks in a park. We decided it's just too expensive of an endeavor at this time.
So no performance at GK. We're disappointed but we'll get over it. Just ridiculous to have to pay to play. GK is not the type of thing to have a budget nor to be an organization, so that's something to remember for the future.
But now...there really isn't a reason to go to GK 10...unless...
We're trying to get an alternative gig somewhere. A place to get a good practice gig in--a restaurant, a party or something. Sometime before Aki-Con rolls around. We'll see.
In other news...may have plans for New Year's eve/day already....!
