Throwing a $200,000 Birthday Party

So it's a lot of money. So sponsors come in and those— they're all over the place and it's like kind of fun. Like, they all have a purpose. They're not just like— it's not like a NASCAR where it's just like stapled all over. Like, you have like your little sections of like, here you have clothing, here you have snacks, whatever. It all makes sense. Alcohol sponsor. Um, but so this artist wanted $25 grand, right? Which is okay, okay, we'll do it. And then he's like— and then his man— we're just texting his manager. His manager's like, you know what, I can't take it to him for $30. And we're like, okay. And then, and then these are the texts I'm getting. He said he's available but just wants more than $30K. He's currently out of town and he's trying to get it done by the morning. And then I said, okay, give him $35K. And then she texted back, okay, now they're saying it has to be $50K unfortunately, because he was saying the $30K was a steal, so he's offended that you wouldn't offer him more after he said it was a steal. And then I'm like, okay, let's do $50K. And then his manager responds, that he's offended and he doesn't want to take the offer to his artist of $50,000 because it's still not high enough. And he said, and he said he's losing patience with us. Whatever. He said he's losing patience with us when every time, every time the manager comes back with a new number, we're like, okay, fine. Yeah, we have a budget in mind and we're not going to go past it. But like, but it's crazy. It's crazy.
