My plan is get to Chicago sometime before showtime on the 25th, then hit up this cannabis conference for work:
Then hit Gary aka Save_The_Garys on the last Bort’s late night, sleep in a bit, maybe try to hit the second day of this conference, and to make my way over to Sacred Rose in time for Lotus, and then dip out of Chicago that Sunday and hopefully see Umphrey’s one more time that weekend somewhere else. Cough* @bluishcough any word on a Sunday show that weekend* cough.
It all comes back to Browning when you think about it. Lower booking fees for dudes like Andy Frasco means bigger paydays for the band which means more cheddar for the Browning empire!
Frasco probably richer than most UM members these days. Hes everywhere. Is involved in the entertainment world outside of music too. Well known in the comedy game. Did the score for a Judd Apatow movie/doc. His podcast was moved to YT now. List goes on.
Also, since you said MOST UM members these days, what do we think is the net worth ranking of the boys?
Stasik
Joel
Jaco
Bayliss
Myers
Andy
Stasik has that family money it looks like, Joel’s got Venice Beach real estate, Jake’s got his own studio in the burgeoning town of NIles, Bayliss has Chicago real estate and three kids I think (the most of them?), Myers is hustling Kick the Cat shows but doesn’t have that MWFS connection, and Andy is paid less than everyone in the band (although didn’t Papa Farag finance a lot of the early days?)
Just talking out of my ass but what do we really think on this topic?
