Sakto ka bawitski. Never ever judge a person right away. Naa nay mga reasons why ingon ani ila paglakad sa gigs.
For our part, lisud jud mahimong organizer. Before it was just all for fun just so i could have my friends play. But soon that all changed. Not only did i want to help my friends but so are the other starving local musicians here in cebu who arent given any opportunity to play and share their talents coz there werent much gigs here before. It's even a good thing now that there's a lot of productions out there trying to help out other bands.
You think producing gigs is that easy? Honestly speaking it aint easy at all. You'll encounter alot of problems from venues, bands everything.. kanang wa nimo gi expect mahitabo will bound to happen sooner or later and u just have to deal with it one way or another. Di jud lalim mag organize.
Not all productions have sponsors. Like our production. Some call it Indie pa gani. Well you can say that our venues have their own sponsors but that doesnt mean we get all the money and we get something from them. wa jud. We too have other things to pay.. like the venue, the instruments and of course the free food and drinks we give to bands. We don't give tf's but just food and drinks mao na jud na amoa ever since. We even use our own money sometimes for the expenses for that gig.. like posters, flyers, tickets and etc. But did we ever complain? NOPE we do it coz we LOVE doing it. It's not about the money, it's all about the MUSIC (right shoeless? hehehe)
We should all be thankful that there are still people who are willing to help without getting anything in return. Just gaining respect and appreciation from people is already a BIG reward for me. I never ask for anything more. Being of help to others is what I love doing and that's not going to change... for a long time
