Grrrrrrrrr!!!!

So, one thing I don't like....people who act like they can do something for you and they don't come through. Just say from the beginning, I'm not capable of doing X,Y,Z.

So lately I've been experiencing this with promoters. Dude, don't say you have us, then try to play us when we get there? I've been noticing that people will say they can do something they don't have the power to do, or people who do have the power will try to get brand new when it's time to come through. I'm soooo not a fan. If you're someone that I would go out of my way for, I expect you to do a small thing for me. I know it can happen, because others do it with no problems. This especially gets on my nerves when a favor is not asked for, but it is offered. I stopped asking folks a looooonnnnggggg time ago to do certain things for me, because I know if they don't come through I'll be pissed, so I let people volunteer. There are a couple folks that never cease to come through and my friends and I appreciate it, and will bend over backwards to support them in anyway. These other folks? humph! It'll be a minute before I frequent anything else they're doing again.....can you tell a promoter I've known for yrs (before he started promoting, shoot before he started driving) got brand new last night? Guess it's time for a 2 month hiatus from his stuff too...

I have definitely experienced this madness. Luckily... I'm pretty cool with 4 of the major promoters out here. Although... one of them, on ocassion has pulled that madness @ the door, but each time... has come to the rescue after I either text'd or hunted his azz down in the club (to get my loot back). Grrr...

But now... instead of me + (1) or however many people, he just gets me for free & makes everyone else pay 1/2 price.

Yeah... the promoter game can be some b.s. But lol @ "There are a few diamonds out there though in this sea of cubic zirconia..."

Well I'm a promoter but I am also a friend of Ms. Sassy and I have always kept my word for her when she asks... Problem is she doesn't come to my event much anymore..

I guess I'm not a promoter.. I'm a medical device saleman who throw parties too..

I feel you A. When people make offers that are totally unsolicited and then the offer falls through, I try to keep it in perspective: we can plan plans but never the outcome.

Please be mindful of the fact that men say and do what ever it takes to see a woman again (and you are an attractive woman so in this case, it's acceptable), even it means lying/frontin/stuntin'/or any other ebonic term preferred.

My point: Don't let it discourage you from enjoying the social scene that your city has to offer.
