In Reply to: Worst compensation for a gig? posted by Jason G. on April 15, 2001 at 22:43:25:
Back in school, the Four Horsemen(tuba quartet) in KY got a gig at the Lexington Brewing Company for a Lexington Phil fundraiser. Not a bad gig....free beer, 200 a person and food. A lot of peopple did not make it to the event because of a car accident, and they were giving everyone a six pack of beer on the way out, but they had a ton left over. They offered it to us, and we took it(duh!). We walked out of there with three cases of Lexington's finest Dark, Dark stuff(same people that make the hemp beer). At the keg party that night after the gig(at my place), we offered up this stuff after the heg was dry, and it was awful. Like drinking motor oil. Took us a month and three keg parties to give away those three cases of beer. Awesome gig, but some skunky beer.
