RE: (313) Not quite 313 but close. Epic story about a failed Lil Louis show.
That's absolute Gold! There was alarm bells ringing through the whole story, Lil Louis excuses are a bit thin , he'll lose the most from this as it's all over the web now. His Publicist needs to learn to stay out of forum debates. Even Marshall Jefferson has jumped to the defense of his friend. Even if the promoters were a bit naive, for him to take nearly €12,000 is out of order. I can imagine promoters will think twice about booking him after this episode. I'm sure it happens lots of times that artist don't turn up and don't give the fee back. I've seen it happen here in Dublin.

Re: (313) Not quite 313 but close. Epic story about a failed Lil Louis show.
Wow I had no idea those forums got that long in like, 2 days... Can't believe the publicist went public, if the promotors had hired lawyers LL should have got his own lawyers quickly onto it to shut it down and negotiate an outcome. On my quick analysis if it was unlikely that the promotors would get their $ back the best thing for them was to just go public and win it that way (even if it meant it showed how naive they were). Sadly, to recover $12000 by using lawyers is probably going to be a waste of $ - I can see a legal bill about $5000 at least (which would cover 10 - 15 hours work), totally not worth it. Even if they got judgment there is the question of how it could be enforced. On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 6:06 AM, The Archiver thearchi...@thearchiver.netwrote: That's absolute Gold!

Those poor promoters. They should have walked away much earlier, when the whole fiasco with the sorting out of who his official rep was. I know they say they're the types who do it for the love of the music but sometimes it is better off following the head and not the heart. Especially when there's thousands of other people's dollars at stake.
