The Artist doesn't know what to do? He has agreed to do five fairs for a much lower price if he gets all these dates, and now he finds himself in a very awkward position. Does he skip our on the fourth fair and sit for over a week not working and lose four days of this one contract? Or, does he do these four days at this next fair, then lose the last six day fair that is now backing out on him?

Artist decides it is not the fourth fair's fault, so he goes and plays this four day fair. He then proceeds to the fifth fair, parks on the fairgrounds and is awaken late at night by police and the Manager and escorted off the fairgrounds rudely.

In this case, the fault was that of everyone who signed this six person agreement. Not one of them caught the error of the one fair listed wrong on the contract, and the Artist had to eat it again, let alone get rudely escorted off a fairgrounds by police!

If you have horror stories of your own, let me know what they were. I'd love to publish them so people know. The more we are educated, the better the decisions we can make in the future.
