And the damn whirlwind with the Kritzerland show. Our latest performer lost HER voice, she found someone who could learn only three songs and wouldn't be at any rehearsals (again, I think performers in LA are so used to the shows that rip us off, where they just throw things together that our schedule is anathema to them - even though they need it). We haven't lasted eight years and ninety-three shows by doing unrehearsed and thrown together shows. They were supposed to find someone else and of course didn't. So, I'm not sure what to do other than cut those three songs and be done with it. The show would be short, but at this point it's do that or cancel.
