She made a lot of money ($1.2 million) on Kickstarter.She now claims she doesn't have enough to pay for a backing band ($30K for the entire tour).She asked her fans to play for "beer and hugs"-- these fans already supported her on Kickstarter.She asked for trained musicians, not amateurs.These same musicians will also be required to play for the support act.A quick survey of her accounting suggests that she is lying about her lack of funds.An more extended examination suggests that she may in fact be a total con.
People care because:a) lost jobs for actual musiciansb) she continues to frustrate and seem more and more grifty with every explanationc) the semi-pro and pro musicians on this board (and their friends) object to people in their profession being exploitedd) she opens her blog posts with "hola comrades"

Chewing postcards. I do not understand. Even 1000 posts will not help me understand.

I think my Mum has some old postcards in a closet that have been chewed by silverfish; based on this could I sell them for money?
