Jon Fay not playing this show - I talked to him a couple months prior to the show happening, before even agreeing to play it. He really wasnt interested unless it was a full original reunion, on top of being in Europe with the Red Chord at the time. So we agreed it would be cool to have the Final Battle go up and play some DD tunes. The Shirts - It cost about $1300 to get the shirts printed. $150 for the designs. $200 to ship the shirts out. We made just under a grand at the show, on top of about $600 in presales. Now subtract all the original costs, throw in soome other stuff like gas money to get to NY and back (benefit show, we didnt get any money for playing), Seth and I's ever growing dependency on alcohol and hookers and we basically broke even... I actually had to spend $100 of my own dough to get the shirts sent out. So, no, we didnt all come home with fat pockets, writhing in the glory we all just made bank playing "somebody else's" songs. Bottom line... we put in a lot of work getting the songs ready for the show, scrounging up the cash to get the shirts paid for... and all a couple kids can do is bitch about the money that someone else, who didn't put the money or the work that we did in the last couple months, get? So what, its wasnt an orignal lineup, it wasnt even a real reunion, but do you think kids really wanted to come out to witness the frenetic technical fretboard wizardry or come out to smash other kids in the face and sing a long? The show was amazing, we had ALOT of fun, and Im sure everyone else did too, whether during us or other bands that night. And I really doubt that anyone put in the same position would pass up the chance to play a show like that.
