Wow, you guys in the US really think legal action for every little thing. Up here, we are still doing things the old fashioned way, simply trying to do what's right. If someone screws with me on a personal level, I'll either beat on them or simply forget about them. My blood is 100% Italian, what can I say?
As far as my finances go, a CGA handles everything and the way I pay my subs is standard and acceptable by Revenue Canada, so that's a non-issue. My accountant is very experienced and has gone through many government audits with flying colors, even with my family's high $$$ car biz. So I know I am doing everything right according to Canadian law.
I have known the guy in question for about 15 years and consider him a friend. He was even present at my 40th birthday party and spun a few tracks next to our very own Jay Tea Vegas. He is trying to back-pedal now saying that he didn't know about it. He even offered to pay me my cut which is normally the retainer. He claims that his girlfriend handles all the bookings for him now, that if he gets a call, he refers them to her. He said it was too hard for him to keep things straight on his own since he is so busy with his full time job and his DJ work. Question still remains, how did they get his number? In the past month alone, I sent him two gigs which I paid him 1500 bucks for. He works at a lot of pubs and also has his own DJs working for him at those pubs. He supplies his own gear at the pubs and only gets between $150 to $175 for each gig. He really likes the events I send his way since he really makes a lot of $$$. He said there is no way he would ruin our friendship for a gig. I kind of believe that part. I f’n hate drama.
