Today I packed up and walked out of a gig about 5 minutes into it. Sometimes the ADs are just so full of themselves it just isn't worth the trouble. After my first song she ran up and wanted to know when I would start singing. I told her, for about the 5th time, I am not a singer and she went nuts. Told me in no way would she pay my full fee if I didn't sing- said she would pay only half of it. I thanked her and started packing up my gear. That really set her off - like I cared. On the way out I dropped by the main office and dropped off my invoice which I told them I expected to be paid in full. Told them the story and left. We'll see.
