I wasn't as assertive back then and I could have done more. Thing is we missed the "meet and greet". Most of the venue staff were kids from the local college probably working only a few hours so they did not know and may have thought we were lying. Looking at everyone who had depended on me - even though there was miscommunication - and their disappointment after being so excited gutted me. Even missing my own chance to meet Meat (a bucket list item for me) as bad as that was can not convey how bad I felt. I still have bad dreams about it occasionally. I can still see all those disappointed faces looking at me and feeling that I somehow failed them on something that meant so much to them, and I can never make it up to them. He hasn't played this area since so I doubt many of them ever got the chance to meet him.  |
That's terrible man, I really feel for you. But don't feel so bad, it wasn't your fault you were given wrong information.
