Music politics?

The flyer for the MS Open Mic anniversary show was released today and is VERY biased. We weren't told we'd be playing as "guests" to any band, and my logo and the other "guest" act's are so small you can barely see them under the huge graphic for the reggae band. I have never seen such a shitty flyer. If I wasn't cranky from PMS I'd tell them exactly how I felt about it and pull out of the show. That's just rude. COME SEE THIS MASSIVE REGGAE BAND oh, and these other two bands that we found, too. AND HERE'S A SHOUTOUT TO OUR COMPUTER GEEK SPONSORS.

WTF? No wonder people think my flyers are awesome. All they ever see is poor design like this.

I did end up writing to the coordinator and flyer artist wanting to know what the hell and have yet to hear back. Maybe, MAYBE they'll fix it. If they don't, I guess I'll be making one of my own.

I would never pull that kind of shit with other bands I perform with. Everyone there is there for a reason, and I don't care who's getting paid and who isn't. You don't relegate supporting bands' names to less than 10% of flyer real estate for a fucking open mic night.

Rude! Rude rude rude RUDE!

ETA: Aaaaaand I'm PMSing. I got a response to my request to change the flyer, and they will make our names more prominent.
