Someone costs you a bunch of money and the subsequent legal hassle of you being sued by the venue for lost profits you'd probably do the same.

Just making sure she gets what she need to make the gig on time. Sounds like a good business person to me.

Don't hold out on us...whats the deal with the brown M&Ms?

[Avatard]

Al told me it was about making sure the contract was honored.

If they get to a gig, and there's a nice big bowl of M&Ms with no brown ones, they know that someone read every aspect of the contract, and that they can relax, and have a good show.

If they get to a gig, and there's no bowl of M&Ms, they know they're fucked.

If there's a bowl there with M&Ms, but there's brown ones in it, they know someone read the fucking rider, but maybe not so carefully, and it's time to start looking around, and asking questions to make sure all is OK.

I know it's not as glamorous sounding as "they trash the dressing room if they don't get their favorite eccentric confectionery request", but it's actually there in the rider for what turns out to be merely an easy color-coded barometric indicator of actual rider compliance, that helps them stay on top of things while on the road.



Things ain't always what deyz seems, folks.

Now that you can easily buy M&Ms in any color you want, you could have some fun fucking with them.

What if there are three bowls? One with every color M&Ms, then one with every color except the brown ones, then a third with just the brown ones removed from the 2nd bowl? What would that do for them?

[Avatard]

Probably let them know that the people on that particular gig are going to be a pain in the dick, and are out to fuck with them, and aren't particularly interested in honoring their contract, or its rider provisions.

[Trip]

What if the bowl just had blue M&Ms?

[Avatard]

Gee, I have no idea Trip. I haven't spoken to Al in years, but I'll ask him if I run into him, I'll be sure and pose the question, mmmkay?

[Avatard]

My guess is, that if you can buy them in any color, and the rider just says "no brown ones", then they'd probably find that whoever's taking care of shit is not only paying attention to detail, but is pretty efficient too.

The point is that the entire thing is neither eccentric nor mysterious...it's just good, efficient thinking.

People just wanna work and go home, man...most of this shit's not that hard to figure out.
