Heh... That's an upcoming article, by the way. I need to start informing people about different types of insurance and specifically about event insurance.

It's just a potentially huge topic and I'm not sure if my getting too deep into it opens me up to liability issues. For better or worse, people seem to view me as an authority on such matters. So, I am pretty careful with some of what I say.

Frankly, I'd probably just settle out of court. I'm pretty sure you could sue me and I'd just give you money to go away. I'll be right fucking pissed, but that's probably what I'd do. So, if you're ever really poor and want to burn some bridges!

My lawyer would tell me not to post that.

I'd consider it, but I figure top results for a tshirt cannon case settlement are too low to be compelling.

The insurance part is very important, but few bands seem to heed that sort of advice until they hit a level where they must have insurance. And even then, the lines get very grey.

Yeah, we are still in the event insurance, per event, stage and only when the venue doesn't provide it. There's a couple of venues that have, so far, required we carry our own insurance and some that have riders that cover us. It's really quite a quagmire.

I also need to talk unions, at some point. They are sometimes important and another thing that's often overlooked. I might as well get this all typed out before I am too old to do it or am dead.
