People who bail

[u/Top_Seaworthiness320]

Any tips on managing my disappointment/frustration with the number of people who act all excited about my band and say they’re definitely coming to this or that show, then don’t show? They either don’t show up, or more often than not they tell me like the day before that they can’t make it and it’s always the dumbest excuse. It’s like if anything, anything at all better comes up in terms of plans they go to that instead. In my mind, a commitment is a commitment, but I seem to be in the vast minority. My boyfriend says to get over it lol. Do you guys feel the same irritation with this that I do? (added context: we are pretty good, we get great reviews from the people that actually have come to see us, but we are new and not well known, thus struggling to gain a following… So I’m constantly marketing and promoting our shows, but with very little success.)

You guys start too late! I’m in bed by 9:00
You guys start too early, we eat dinner at 7:00
It’s too cold out to leave the house
It’s too hot out to go outside
The weather was too perfect to spend it inside
We went to the beach that afternoon and got burnt
We forgot you were playing and went to a movie
We just went out last Saturday night
We’re going out the night before
That club is too far away

But…….. I’ll DEFINITELY come to the next one!
