During the height of the pandemic, my band went on the weirdest tour ever where we played an empty concert hall with the music streamed to various screens around the city.
At one point between sets, I noticed a solitary woman in the back hammering feverishly on a laptop, so I wandered over.
“Oh hi, I’m the entertainment co-ordinator. Right now, I’m removing posts from the website where people are still trying to scalp tickets to your show.” I reminded her that it was a free concert by an obscure out-of-town bar band with no public admittance to the actual venue, and she just rolled her eyes.
“Honestly, you’re the first people to play this hall in 6 months and it’s generated a lot of buzz. You should be flattered.” I was!
