Happy New Year!

We played 2 shows last night. The first show was at The Oak Street Bistro. Our set was to be 7:00-9:00 and to be half instrumental piano/half Acoustic. They charged $45 a plate(new years special). And turned away at least 40 people who just wanted to order from the usual menu at the restaurant. We played well. Set went solid. Settled up and headed to our 2nd show of the night. Little did we know we were driving to the most awkward shady show we have EVER played, EVER!! We show up to a mid 40s very very country crowd of 25-30 people playing horse shoe type games. From the beginning we were told they didn't want to pay the full amount because we were late. I put them in check and said we would play longer so they were happy. After 7 or 8 songs we are stopped and told that I was to drunk and Ben was messed up on something. Complete bullshit. We left pissed with, of course, only half the money they promised. We grubbed out on the food Oak Street Bistro gave us in the RV and called it a night.
