      Had a gig at a resort tiki hut type bar. The deal was, a one man
act would play from 6 to 8, and we'd play from 9 to 12....well, we're 15
minutes into setting up, and the (female) manager comes over and asks
why there's no music....turns out they wanted the other guy to fill in
on our breaks so they'd have continuous music, but we didn't know that.
      We get set up in record time (25 min), get done with the first
tune and the waitress comes over with two options from the manager.
     She says we can continue to play through without a break till 12 (3
hrs) or we could take our normal breaks and take a $100 cut.
     Our singer tells her there's a third option, we could pack up and
go, which we did.
     I was proud of the guys, they are normally shameless gig whores...I
was ready to go when she complained about the set up time...

Did you consider hooking up an iPod to the PA for your breaks? Would
that have sufficed? Just a thought.
