Never Assume: A Host's Dilemma and Unexpected Turn

[raebates]

I assumed my Monday show was not going to hold. The show was booked from a mid-October show. For a variety of reasons she couldn't do the show at her own house, so she was going to check on using her church. I told her that was fine. She asked me to wait to send the host kit to her once she had everything in place.

Then I couldn't get hold of her. Her cell (the only number I had) had no voicemail. She didn't answer my emails. I spoke with the booked-from host. I figured she'd changed her mind.

Nope! She just called. There's been a fair amount of chaos in her life including a broken arm, an arrested foster child, and a stolen car. She's arranged to host the party at a friend's house. She's excited about it.

Yippee! Never assume that just because you can't seem to get hold of someone they have decided to cancel.

I wish I had your kind of luck Rae.....the ones that I can't get ahold of typically cancel. I always leave that "last" message, and then I finally get a call back with a variety of reasons as to why they have to cancel. But, CONGRATS on yours still holding!

Hey, c00p! Haven't seen you here for a while.

Yeah....I've had a bunch of "junk" going on in my personal life and haven't taken the time to be out here. It's good to be back though!! Thanks for missing me!!

I think about you every time I wear my PC tie or scarf. ♥

I went through the same thing! I couldn't get a hold of my host, her evite had like 4 people RSVP'd...so I assume she's not taking it seriously.I finally got a hold of her...and she said 20-25 people are coming and they are all excited and that her people do not do well w/ computer responses! Show is this Saturday, it is only my 2nd show and I hope it goes really well!!!!Never assume!
