LOL ... I played a wedding cocktail reception at this upscale Country Club in Long Island NY ... got there real early to set up, parked in the front, took my gear in the front door and placed it in the lobby ... there was NOBODY in the place but the manager went ballistic when she saw I went through the front door ! ... told me in no uncertain terms that I'd better make sure I went out through the back ...
Having played in a 'wedding band' most of my career I would say I've entered through the kitchen on about 95% of my gigs ... grin


hey rules are rules,....the back entrance is a gift when there's hundreds of people all over especially big catering halls with up to 10 rooms running parties all at once..
I Love to sneak out the back door baby! cool2
