I wanted to share a message that I posted on the Journal Star's blog page today. The message that the Event Director of the Rococo posted on the front page annoyed me for reasons that had little to do with Lindsey, and more to do with her lack of business sense:
While I definitely fault Buckingham for cancelling at the last minute when he certainly could have modified the show, I also found the message posted on the Rococo's website inappropriate and unprofessional coming from the event director of what is supposed to be a major venue. By posting on the front page of the public website the perhaps not-so-nice expletives that LB uttered in frustration, she could alienate other musicians who planned to perform at the Rococo: would you really want to perform at a venue where the person in charge has no qualms about posting your outbursts to the staff on the front page of the venue's website? Again, not that Buckingham wasn't wrong -- many fans drove for hours to see him -- but I find that event director's unprofessional comments show a definite lack of common business sense on her part.
