    Actually, I hadn't thought of your point when I wrote the line. It's
    a good point, however, I still don't know the answer to it. It was
    more of a question that I was posting, not an opinion on the subject.
    There may be no fair way to add another artist to the show. The
    answer may be that there is nothing that can or will be done at this
    point. As the clerk had originally said, something like "there's no
    way I can get those 8 people back together". 

    I really have no solution or message to send at this point. Ive may
    be out of luck. The only point I would like to make on this whole
    subject is one of being proactive in every situation that involves
    your career. 

    What I mean is this: if you have to leave a message for someone, do
    it by email. Always try to leave a trail for later. If you're getting
    the brush-off on the phone (and it is possible to do so) get in the
    car and go get the application in person. When sending anything that
    has to do with a deadline, send it by registered mail. Always have
    someone sign for it. I work really hard (as do many of the people on
    this list) I will be darned if I let someone who is maybe having a
    bad day accidentally round file my application if there is anything I
    can do to prevent it. 

    Actually (and this if totally hypothetical and actually
    tongue-in-cheek) I am a small, frail-looking person and I sometimes
    use this fact to my advantage. If I was told there was "nothing to be
    done" I would try actually going to see the person. I would be polite
    and look as pale as I could. I would put a little tear in the corner
    of my eye and I would state my case in the nicest way possible. it
    might work, it might not. If it didn't, I would collect my self and
    find a way to make the 2-4k that I needed in some other way. I can
    guarantee that there are other shows (possibly better shows) that
    could be done in the same time frame and yield better financial
    results. I would give them if someone was interested. There's always
    another way to do things, it just depends if you are willing to let
    yourself do things another way.
