Jxxxxe -  Please make sure your clients understand that this is a live broadcast and, when we bring somebody in, we plan around that person. I need time to fill slots and Rxxxn's last-minute cancelation left us with a hole on Friday. Not your fault, but he didn't make either one of us look good.

Anyone needing transportation to a warming station can call 615-401-1712. (Be prepared to share your name, location, number of people needing transportation, special needs or mobility concerns, and whether you’re bringing pets.)

I've talked about this A LOT, but it's worth mentioning again that a lot of the Shure mics on eBay are fake. Look for price that's "too good to be true" and packaging photos/mics that look like Shure, but have the name blocked out. And read reviews!! 🎤
