If you’re going to play for free, make sure the perks are good.
One of my bands, the 4:20 Special String Band, had its first outing this weekend. We played for one of the most prestigious of all possible occasions, the NORML Colorado Medical Marijuana Harvest Cup 2008. Since none of the band members are actually card-carrying legal Marijuana users, we were not involved in the judging in any way whatsoever. No, really. (Anyway, we don’t really advocate anything, we’re just the minstrels.)
As it was a paid function (with dinner!) We needed passes to get in.
VIP, indeed.
