311 | Times

In the Autum of 1995 I worked for a multinational entertainment merchandising company. One of thier clients was Shaggy. I had been on the Shaggy tour for about a month, travelling with the band and crew of 12 on thier bus. During Shaggy's show, the merchandise booth was normally set up in the back of the bar, next to the "shout out" table, or the photography vendor, or bathrooms. Shaggy sold very little merchandise.No one on the Shaggy tour smoked, except for me.One night I got a call from my boss."311 needs a merchandise manager and backline truckdriver, asap. We still have not worked out a deal with them, so you'll be paid directly by the band until we land the contract. Please do your best to persuade them to let us handle all of thier merchandise. We currently only have the rights to one shirt (the blue cloud logo/ alien ONC on back) in retail. The band has thier own inventory on the road. The road manager's name is Yonnie, he will be calling you tonight. get all of your stuff off of the Shaggy bus, and tell his road manager that we'll send a new guy to the next city.....
