Thank you for the offer. I am keeping the Garfield Artworks in mind for future
shows and I'll let you know if I think of something that would fit that space.

I just want to make it clear that due to the tremendous support of the scene,
we were able to pay the bands all of the initial gaurantee. I am less than
thrilled that you brought up a previous argument you had with Jeremy. I have no
interest in getting involved with an old argument. My interactions with Jeremy
have never been less than satisfactory and I look forward to working with him
in the future.

Thank you. I really do appreciate the support. I'll be in touch with you when I
have something in mind.
