We now pause for a little explanation: I normally don’t answer calls from strange numbers because I figure that people should send their contact number to me first before calling me so I’d at least know who’s calling. That’s what I do; I think it’s part of good cell phone etiquette.
Anyway…
I hesitated to answer the call, but then on impulse I decided to take it. The man on the other side seemed a little hesitant, then said, “Ito ba yung sa acoustic band (Is this the person with the acoustic band)?” I said yes and asked who it was, and he said he was with a certain company (which I couldn’t hear because of a bad connection) that was having a product launch at 6 tonight and needed an acoustic performer. “At the most a duet,” he said. He also said “Dave” recommended us, and I racked my brain (still racking, actually) for the identity of this Dave since I know only two people with that name, and they’re not ones who would be in a position to recommend 220 to a business group for a product launch.
I said I had to check with Ellen and Kukie, but offhand I couldn’t commit yet because I had work up to
So here I am, gig-less. It was, in a sense, a non-gig; we were invited but we weren’t. It may be just as well since the caller mentioned they had budget for only two people at the most, meaning we would have had to split the small, unspecified amount three ways.
Oh well…
