Just for the record...
So far as I know, Dex is the only one of this bunch who is here because he's on the clock. Yes I know, the Rev. "fixed" that with Muse. Fine and good, but Muse isn't my issue, he hasn't fixed it with my crew.
My guys like working with me cos they know I watch out for em, that I'll go to bat for em if I need to, and that I won't dump on em. I can't just vanish on em without a word. So I suppose Theo takes charge of the gig til I get back, I apologize to him for this, and let him know I'll be talking to Muse concert services and payroll both in the morning and making sure he's in the records as being the one who ran it, and gettin paid at that rate rather than as a lead hand. That's the least I can do for him having to clean up my mess, and as far as I'm concerned I still owe him.
That either happens face to face before I go anywhere with the Reverend or it's happening by cell phone before I really have much else to say. I like the man, I respect him, blah blah blah. That doesn't mean I'm gonna drop everything for him.
I felt like this needed to be said, needed to be publicly on record, but really didn't need to be slowing the psychological pace of the 'Vigil' thread.
