Stage Hand says 'no setlist, not mine to give'..

[sinatra]

as much as I love the 930, the majority of stage-hands there SUCK major ... no matter HOW polite you try to be, catch them when they're just standing there not busy & trying to look cool, they NEVER oblige to give you the setlist.
 
 They say 'it's just a piece of paper, who cares' or 'it's not mine to give' (that's the best one) & then you watch another stage-hand rip it off & throw it away- it's SUCH BS it's sick. I know there aren't any 'DC' laws being broken for getting a setlist- no other venue (& I've been to hundreds) are a-holes like 930- they think they're God & the kings of alternative & coolness- it's really quite played out & stupid.
 
 But then again, I know they don't care but wanted to bitch about it anyway.
 
 what a bunch of f'in a-holes..

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

with your attitude, I'd tear it up in front of you too...

[sinatra]

what attitude?! it's called an explanation you fuckin' droll idiot..
 
 oh yeah, let me guess, you're 1 of the cool ones who work there, right?!
 
 I'm so happy for you that you're getting paid $6.45 an hour - but hey, I guess that's the compromise you make when you wanna be cool & work at the 930.

the club's employees are not allowed to take anything from the stage and give it out.  they have a job to do, and dispensing souveneirs is not part of it.  the tour personnel can do whatever they want.

I hear you, but a small bit of gratuity like handing  a setlist to a fan is a win-win.  Being a little reasonable and compassionate goes a long way.  Remember, the club is a business that survives on customers.

what a controversy more elitist behavoir... wait until the dc bloggers get ahold of this one
 
 imho, which does not reflect the managements, bands could turn the post concert auctioning off of setlists into a real money machine.  but then someone would turn around and sell them on ebay for a profit and more whining would ensue.

and while we are at it, i'd like the club to change the toliet paper they use... using it always results in that uncomfortable burning sensation, which detracts from my enjoyment of the show.

I guess there's a small difference between saying "No, we're not allowed to give away the setlist" (which I have seen done before by staff) and ripping it up and throwing it away in front of people. (If it really did happen that way).

Then grab a setlist and wipe your arse with that, as I'm sure it's better quality than 930 bog roll, and that's about all a setlist is good for.

$6.45 per hour, free entry to every 930 show....plus the bonus of pissing obnoxious little twats off by not handing out setlists.

You'd have to move back here first  

[poorlulu]

i actually really like getting a setlist, i think it's a nice memento, and it's the perfect thing to get signed if you are lucky enough to meet the band/performer.
 
 but the 9.30 roadies don't hand out setlists unless the band's roadies tell them it's ok.  Which i always thought was fair enough, just try and bat your eyelashes at the roadies that you either don't recognise from the club, or the ones dismantling the bands set up.
 
 oh and dr.doom you are a tool........

I'm happy that you're happy for me, but I'll have you know I don't work at the 9:30 club (they'd never have me), and I make $7.00 an hour, thankyouverymuch!

Yeah, like the trend of "all access passes" which the larger tours are now selling, and which cost a fortune so the chicks can now PAY UP THE WAZOO for the privilege of doin' what groupies have been doing since the dawn of rock...ain't America a great place? The only thing they don't ask when you buy one is for a current nude photo...(yet)  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
