Agreed, which is why we got the service mark for our band name when we
fired a drunken member years ago. He started booking himself as us and
put on a Black Haus-fueled performance of some sort. We put a quick
stop to that. We replaced him with a singer whose father is a lawyer,
so everything was legal and free.
