So, I enter this contest for Warped Tour to be a Production Assistant on a mini-documentary they make on different bands on the tour. Needless to say I was super pumped and even more pumped when I found out that I was going to be filming Cobra Starship, one of the headlining bands and one of the fastest growing bands in popularity right now. I am fan, but I didn't have time to get really into them before hand. So we all get to the venue on time only for me to call the guy and him be like "Oh, what?, oh yea the band canceled sorry."
..... wtf.
I came dressed professionally and prepared to do this job. There was no warning, no precautionary "there may be a chance the band backs out" thing, nothing. How can you run a legit contest if the bands always back out? So needless to say that these people were ridiculously unorganized and it put a damper on my first cobra starship show. I did all this work to enter this contest and no one associated really gave a damn about it. It's bullshit. So the head of the John Lennon Tour Bus got a informative email from me.
