My observations: Yeah, we all know Mimi!  I dig her playing way beyond the fact that she's a technical virtuoso.  She did the first show here on 1/9/2022. She should be able to draw, too. The only catch would be how she would require as a minimum guarantee.  in 2022, Elizabeth said she usually asks for a $1000 minimum guarantee for a solo gig.  But Mimi intervened and said she would do it for $500. She had 25 in-person attendees and made $555 for her previous LJS show. That's $22.20 per attendee. But one or two donors were watching the live stream, so it's something more like $18.20 per person -- still 90% of the guarantee if it's a similar draw and the guarantee is $500.  If it's $1000, we'd be out $500 unless she drew many more than 25... I'm inclined to say I'd book her again for LJS if she would agree to a guarantee of $500 again, but not $1000.  Make sense?
