I'm pissed at Paul right now. It's after 10 PM, and I've been trying to call him all day.

He has no cell phone. But we have a show to do in the morning. A Christian Biker event. The plan was, he comes here. Spends the night. Roxann needs the "van" to go to a class reunion.

I don't know the location of the show, I won't have a vehicle. So if he doesn't show up.. I have no way to do it.

Here is why I am pissed (Me and Roxann) actually. Paul, I really love the guy. Just so many things about him that aren't totally right. He thinks he knows all about shows (setup and whatever). Well, he's done them 6 months. Me, 37 years.. lol.

I really don't care if he can't cover the show fee. I don't care if he can't afford to eat (I'll cover his ass). I do care if he doesn't let me know what's going on.

Well, he isn't here. He hasn't called. I had to make "alternate" plans. If he doesn't show.. we are going to do this thing in "Flint Michigan".

Now here is the problem. The Biker event would be best for us. Plus we didn't budget, for the "Show fee" in Flint. We are not rich people. We paid for the "weedwacker", paid "child support", bought alot of groceries. We spent what we had. Now, I am certain if I can do the Biker event.. in the first few hours I will make a few hundred dollars. The thing in Flint, I have no clue. Probably won't do much.

Roxann needs money for her class Reunion. This is the reason I decided to go to Flint. Close to home, and she can go with me. Make some money, and it gets over early.

I won't have a "dime" to set up with. They want the "fee up front". So I gotta look like an ass to them. Will I get in? Yes, I know that won't be a problem. They want me there.

Not to mention. From the last show. I ordered 300 chains. I ordered 144 keychains. They all came in. I already put all that money out.. and may be doing a crappy as show this weekend.

I love Paul. But if he shows up.. gonna have some words with him. he hooked up with one of the "coolest" he will meet. I got the "experience", I know the people.. all that. He doesn't even drink. Me, I drink with the promoters out of sight, when not allowed in the festival. I do NOTHING conventional, I don't even try to be that way. I am however, the BEST there is a what I do. I get as many "promoters" watching how I work as customers.

I don't want "Paul" to be "afraid" of me. He knows he hooked into a good deal. I feel I did too mostly. I don't want him worried if I have to buy his food, pay his show fee.. or whatever. None of that matters to me. I just want him to be "honest and up front".. and not worry. He's a big fat guy.. and I'll have a cooler full of food. I want him to lose weight, but don't want him to starve either.

I'll let you know what happens this weekend. I'll just say (for the moment), I really am not happy with him.

Paul needs to listen a little.
