...you find yourself trading stories with other workers about how much time you can spend in a bathroom at a working gig. I once went for a walk. Looong story.

What kind of restaurants book you to do close up in their bathroom?

SPM

It wasn't a restaurant, lol...

I don't understand, I guess because I'm not a pro

Lol, sorry Maestro- I don't mean to say someone should feel left out (not that you do) because they're not a pro. It's just a joke because when you've done a few hundred gigs, odds are that at a couple of them you have spent some time not on the floor working, for whatever reason. Maybe the crowd was terrible, (or even absent!) and if the host isn't even there, there can be a time where there's little incentive to "work".

NOTE: If you're a future client reading this Q & A, I promise not to go for long walks around the block during your event.
