I can relate to the mantra of not booking a calling date the night before an out-of-town gig... my regular c2 club night meets on Thursdays (first and third) and often I will have dancers tell me they are not coming that night because they would be leaving the next afternoon for some dance weekend somewhere. Meanwhile, I am left to wonder what they'd think if I told them I wouldn't be calling that night because I was catching a 6am flight out of Dulles (which means up at 4pm to drive over there)to call out in California for the weekend ... I'm all for not calling the night before going out of town... it's too rushed and harried to try to get everything together and packed for the airlines inspection routine, etc, AND not lose stuff because the bag for regular calling has to now be repacked for the weekend gig. Gggrrrrr.....
If you find yourself pinched on Tuesday nights and Dayle can't cover in Baltimore, let me know. I might be able to cover calling the night for them...
