Fabulous strikes again...

...or so Fabulous thinks. Fabulous has gotten into the habit of putting people up to calling me and booking gigs for the purpose of fishing for information. (I suspect that's the reasoning behind it but one can never be sure of the ulterior motive.) I end up reserving a date and time slot for a sham gig and run the risk of possibly not booking a legitimate one. At least I suppose that's the idea. Except I'm on to Fabulous. I can always tell when it's one of his/her peeps. They're not discreet either. I'm quite sure they're oblivious about just how conspicuous they truly are. It's actually funny. I can always tell.

Calling other companies or performers and digging for information is something that I don't do as a rule. It's dishonest; I'd rather just call someone up and ask them something point blank. Unfortunately sometimes people won't give accurate information under those circumstances. But I look at it this way, how badly do I really need information from another company or performer? If someone isn't honest with me I don't want to do business with them anyway. If a company is lying about me (and that has happened in the past-it's weird how cutthroat the birthday party business can be) it always comes back to bite them in the ass.
