Hello to you as well!

Manny, you don't know who I am or where and with whom I spend my time.
Your statement is utterly ignorant.

Right. And there is nothing crass about freezing your ass off while
sitting on a metal folding chair. And there's nothing crass about
calling your patrons "shitbag", "asshole" and "lazy fuckface."

I'm not telling you that you need specifically a coke machine. I think
soda is bad for you. I just brought up because when I was there, you
didn't even have that, or even water to drink. Art galleries usually
have water fountains.

No, Manny. I will not be your guest, because you never cease to find
new ways to insult people. I don't need to pay you money so that you
can insult me some more. I also won't be your guest because I like to
know that part of the money that I pay to get into shows actually goes
to the bands - unlike what happened the two times I played for you,
and got shafted. I have no desire to donate to the United Manny Fund.

I'm glad that you know all about what I should be doing. I guess it's
the Intelligent Dance Music that makes you so smart.

Manny, I rarely drink alcohol. I just find it pleasant to find that a
place where I'll pay money to spend several hours has running water
and perhaps a person running it who won't call me an asshole. I guess
that makes me a pretentious douche-bag.

I did as a few people who were there. I would have asked you
personally, but you weren't even there, at your own show.
