The band was paid $300.00 to play three sets of music on a Thursday night, the week before Thanksgiving.  Presumably, Dave Styn ran the sound that night and was paid $40.00. Mike Carroll set-up and ran the lights for $40.00. The band employed five roadies for this show, each paid $10.00.  $23.00 in gas reimbursement paid to Barry and Steve. $80.00 for truck rental. Backstage reduced their booking fee to 10% ($30.00) and $10.00 was paid out for something labeled, “materials” (cheap drugs? No, probably duct tape). At the end of the night, we paid out $273.00 in expense leaving us with a net profit of $27.00.
