      <![CDATA[Thanks a lot for telling all the bands you already booked!  This went down over two weeks ago???
    Take a look at Will West's comment.  That would have been me and my band in about 3 weeks.
    Maybe it's this kind of lack of consideration that lead to lack of attendance.
    
    Well, I guess it's "good ridance" to bad business.

      <![CDATA[Not going to be missed by me one bit!  I'm glad there is a smooking ban.  I prefer to breathe & I don't want to be breathing the crap other people are exhaling.  The Map Room was the most boring place I've been in Charleston.  It has a bad location.  Who wants to go to West Ashley (frumptown)anyway? I treid to book a band there & NEVER received a response from Ryan.  He was always "in a staff meeting".  Not going to miss it one bit.

      <![CDATA[Thanks Brad.  I'll look into the Pour House next time...
    
    I'm still pretty salty about the Map Room incident.  I've tried to email Ryan Brown a few times since then --- not even a response or apology.
    
    It's not only the lost $$ for the gig that hurts.  It's their apparent lack of concern for the musicians involved... 
    
    In my years in the music industry -- i've stumbed across some shady business practices.  This was one of the worst...
    
    I love Charleston & all the wonderful musicians I've met there...  
    cheers.

      <![CDATA[will,
    sorry to hear that. Charleston prides itself on its music scene, and this is definitely a thorn in our side. Please come back, but to the Pour House instead. They have a grea following. I'd be there.

      <![CDATA[Even better --- I'm on tour from Portland, Oregon.  I showed up for my show Wed May 14 and nobody was home...
    
    I didn't get a call or email.  It was really classy sitting on the curb out front waiting for friend/fans & telling them "I guess there's no show"
    
    thanks Map Room !!!  very professional..

      <![CDATA[devin
    No kidding!!! I had about 4 shows this month that I was waiting for, this sucks! 
    
    I understand Map Room, but you should have stopped booking bands, and fulfill their obligations to us and them that you advertised for, THEN close!

      <![CDATA[that sucks, I liked the small crowds, but as a business man, you have to make the right call. Maybe move to a different location in West Ashley. All the character of the bar on the inside is lost to the blank storefront look of Strip Malls.
    Hope to see you guys somewhere else, thanks for the music.
