have a show tonight?
I have had this show scheduled for 4 weeks. I booked this show at a show that I had in April (that still hasn't closed and had to be changed to a May show, and gave my host the complete host packet that night). I reminded her that as soon as I received her guest list I would send invitations out. I went through the whole thing, the more you invite the more successful your show will be, people need 10 days notice, yadda yadda yadda. Well the beginning of last week I called to ask if she sent me her guest list because I haven't received anything and wanted to make sure that it didn't get lost in the mail. I was rudely told "well you don't have it cause I haven't sent it yet". OK, then I just want to make sure that we are still on schedule for next Thursday. "Yeah, but I'll have to make my list and get it to you."
Left another voicemail over the weekend asking about address list and stating that we needed to discuss what recipe she chose so I can get her grocery ingredients that she will need to provide.
Ok....at 10:09 this past Sunday evening I finally receive a few addresses (10 in total) from her daughter's email. Of course, the soonest that I can get these mailed is Monday morning, which I did. (Keep in mind, the show is 45-60 minutes away from my home....)
I called her yesterday to see how many people she is expecting and she tells me she doesn't know. I asked her if she could make some reminder calls and I'm told "no because she works until 8, an hour drive home, she won't be home until after 9" so I offer to make the calls for her and she doesn't have any of the names or numbers with her. So I asked her if she could please call me when she gets home (I let her know that I will be up late waiting for her call) and let me know if she had any messages on her answering machine when she gets home. Now I know she won't have anything different when she gets home because she had me put her cell phone # on the invitations so she would've already received calls if people were planning on attending!
I also ask if she would like the ingredients for the recipe that she chose and I get a very snotty "yes, that would be helpful". Then I needed to ask her what recipe she did choose since I didn't get a returned call from my previous voicemail that I left over the weekend asking what recipe she wanted me to demonstrate. So we left it that when she called me after work with the number of people she was expecting that I would give her the ingredients at that time so she could write them down.
Needless to say, her show is in less than 10 hours and I haven't heard from her........
