ATTENTION LAURA/ 80sMetalChick!!![views:77446][posts:209]_______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 10:47am - nate ""] Rock show benefit in Quincy hits sour note By Jenna Wolf Wednesday, September 21, 2005 A rock 'n' roll benefit for Hurricane Katrina victims in Quincy has led to a dispute over who should get $96 in proceeds – and the American Red Cross is demanding a formal investigation. Four bands gathered Friday to rock 'n' raise relief funds at Dee Dee's Lounge. Nathan DeMontigny of Quincy, founder of Cold Stone Productions, organized the event on behalf of the Red Cross. Patrons paid $6 a head, but after expenses were deducted from the gate, DeMontigny said, only $96 was left for the charity. He said that money had to go to an Upstate New York band, Malomar, to cover gas for its trip. \'\'That's all I got at the door. I even gave the band four bucks out of my own pocket,'' DeMontigny said. But Laura Harrison of the Red Cross, who said she negotiated the deal with DeMontigny, claims he defrauded the agency, whose logo appeared on his concert flyer. Harrison said she has filed a complaint with her headquarters in Rhode Island. \'\'I didn't know it was going to be a spin-of-a-coin kind of chance we weren't going to get any money,'' Harrison said of the Quincy show. 1st - I am not from Quincy 2nd- It is Cold Storage Productions 3rd- The event was booked way before Hurricane Katrina hit NOLA so it was never a benefit for the Red Cross from the get go. It was to be the first of a series of shows in Quincy. When the Hurricane hit I thought about doing something for it. Jim from BOE got in touch and said Laura was interested in setting up a table and would I talk to her. I did speak with her about setting the booth up and possibly getting money from the door after I paid Malamor gas money as they were travelling from western part of update New York. I had not heard of any such dispute till I got a call from the Boston Herald yesterday, obviously they got my number from Laura, which I do not appreciate at all for doing so. Laura if you read this you need to check your facts about the whole situation. I told you a couple times on the phone that 3 of the bands had agreed to give up their cash, if the show made any money. I had kept with my word to Malamor about getting them gas money so they could get back home after the show. I told Laura andything above and beyond what I gave Malamor would go to the Red Cross. Even though the show seemed to do well, with all the band members and people the bands brought in with them I made $96 from the door. Julie from Dee Dee's handed me that money. It was all I got. So, again, Laura check your facts and drop this ridiculous suit. |

| ___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:19am - succubus ""] does chickie (80smetalchick) know about this? i mean you already had a show and why does it say: \'\'I didn't know it was going to be a spin-of-a-coin kind of chance we weren't going to get any money,'' Harrison said of the Quincy show. if you still gave them $96? |
| _______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:25am - nate ""] I didn't give them $96, I gave it to Malamor to cover their travelling expenses. She was told from the get go anything above and beyond what I gave to Malamor for travelling here was to be donated. I didn't make anything more than the $96 and gave it to Malamor along with $4 from my pocket to round it off to $100 for them travelling here. She did go through the crowd asking for donations and people gave her some. I don't know what she made from that but I made no money from the show over what I paid Malamor to travel. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:26am - nate ""] I nwould assume Jenna Wolf would be the person at the Herald to contact but I don't have her info... |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:26am - largefreakatzero ""] This is so fucking gay. Nate needs this shit like a case of AIDS. He tried to do something decent and give money to a charity and gets fucked because of it? Due to an unfortunate fender-bender on the way home (see other thread), we (well Nick) is going to be out about $1500 or so. We are not crying about it, shit happens. Malamor came a long way to play this show and deserve to be compensated. This was a small show, not a massive turnout where people got rich. This woman Laura needs to get fucked. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:33am - succubus ""] yah this is ridiculous...wtf people....so someone was going around at the show collecting money? but they didn't claim that they got anything? wow...this makes me sick |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:36am - anonymous ""] this is what happens when you think you are better than everyone else, have no job and love acting like a complete fucking whining self important bitch. Again, get over yourself. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:37am - largefreakatzero ""] No one ever approached me for a donation. Not that I would have donated, since my donation was $3/gallon to get there and back. Sorry for this shit, Nate -- I guess you must be really looking forward to moving to TN now! |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:41am - JayTUS nli ""] Someone has some 'splainin to do. This is ridiculous. I love how the article doesn't say anything about ANY money being made at all. This dumb bitch should feel fortunate that someone is even TRYING to help. I thought the Red Cross prided themselves on the whole "no donation is too small" mentality? Obviously common sense dictates that pre-existing agreements have to be fullfilled. If that band wanted to donate any proceeds they made, that's totally up to them, but with the cost of gas these days, I don't blame them whatsoever. Lame. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 11:43am - succubus ""] you know what bothers me most? how you try to do a nice thing and people take advantage of it and talk shit...give me a fuckin break... this is why some people don't bother helping, because you do something nice and people try to fuck you |

| ___________________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 12:34pm - largefreakatzero ""] "But Laura Harrison of the Red Cross, who said she negotiated the deal with DeMontigny" Do you have any paper trail on this, or was this just something you spoke on the phone about? If this was a verbal agreement (and it appears that she is adding some of her own stipulations after the fact), I am venturing to guess they have nothing on you. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 12:39pm - succubus ""] and was she even at the show? |
| _______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 12:39pm - nate ""] it was all verbal on the phone... and I told her over and over, anything I made off the door over and above what I was giving Malamor for gas money would be donated. I didn't make anything over and above what I gave Malamor so that's it. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 12:41pm - nate ""] yes she was, and I reiterated the same thing I talked to her about on the phone about Malamor getting paid gas money. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 12:46pm - Mess ""] we all know you pocketed $2,000.00 bucks. admit it. |
