if carl is who i think it is, then i know how he operates. i don't trust him for one second. there is no way i would attend his party or spin at his party. i would not allow myself to be even associated with him or his friends in any way shape or form. all he cares about is money. he doesn't care about people having a good time or good music. that is why i can see him using TP's name on the flier w/o actually booking him. TP draws people in, and just like in porn when people come someone is making money. in this case it is carl. unfortunately there are alot of people out there like that. jeff
