All terms and provisions
contained herein, are integral and binding parts of PAPA's
Performance Agreement.
A) ADVERTISING: If this is

DOO RUN RUN's name and/or likeness will appear in all ads
connected with the event(s) named in the agreement, in the
first position and 100% size.
B) TRANSPORTATION / ROOMS:
If air transportation is a provision of the agreement, unless
otherwise indicated, PAPA will make their own travel
arrangements and upon approval will invoice purchaser for
such travel. If purchaser is to provide tickets, flights must
be upgradeable, and changeable without penalty, on UNITED, AMERICAN, OR DELTA ONLY. Costs will include all
taxes and fees. Flights with total travel time over 5 hr.
duration must be First or Business Class. Flights under 5
hrs. may be Coach Class, but must be upgradeable. Unless it is absolutely
necessary, PAPA will not fly on "red-eye" flights. All mileage
points accrued will be the property of the individual flyers.
All flights must be to and from locations and at times
convenient to PAPA.
If HOTEL ROOMS are a provision
of this agreement, they must be prepaid (including all taxes, required gratuities, parking, etc.), located at the venue hotel, and
reserved under the individual names of the band and crew.

Bob Gothar, Adrian Baker, Edward Fox, and if available, Jeffrey Foskett.
Crew: Al Nassar and Bob Busch. (These 2 names may change from

passenger air-conditioned private van, or 2 mini vans, or 2
limos, with English speaking drivers. Said transportation
will display a sign denoting "PAPA DOO RUN RUN",
and will meet band members and crew at the baggage claim for
their particular flights. If for some reason, performance
venue and hotel are not one and the same, then ground
transportation must be provided between the two, at times
convenient to PAPA. (Optionally, PAPA may rent 2 minivans and invoice
purchaser).
See contract for per diem applicability.
If reimbursement for plane
tickets, hotel, or ground transportation is indicated, it
will be immediate upon receipt of invoice. Reimbursements and per diem are not subject to any agency commissions.
C) ACCESS TO VENUE: A
clear access to the load-in area is required at least FOUR
(4) hours prior to the time the audience is to be admitted.
If catered equipment is indicated, check with rental
companies for required access time. Delays in starting
performance due to failure to provide clear access is
purchaser's sole responsibility.
If load-in area is a soft deck
(gravel, lawn, sand, etc.), purchaser will provide a plywood
walkway 1" thick x 36" wide the entire length of
such soft deck. Lights in the loading and stage areas shall
remain ON until load-in/out is complete
Purchaser will provide parking at the venue, as close to the stage as possible, for the equipment
truck (30'L x 8'W x 12'H), and up to six additional vehicles
at no cost to PAPA.
Loaders, technicians, and
sound/light personnel will work under the direction of PAPA's
crew chief. Lack of cooperation and nonprofessional
attitudes, will not be tolerated. Purchaser is responsible
for procurement of any required union loaders, and/or
technicians, and their compensation due, when required.
PAPA and their accompanying
personnel shall be allowed COMPLETE ACCESS to stage,
backstage, and performance areas. If necessary, purchaser
will provide back stage passes, badges, or other
identification to allow access.
D) DRESSING ROOM:
Purchaser will provide a separate private dressing room (or
motor home), with electrical outlets, and comfortable seating
for 10 people, near the stage. It should be made available
from load-in thru load-out, and be a no smoking area. In most
hotel situations, an additional sleeping (or hospitality)
room, or nearby meeting room (preferably with bathroom
facilities) will serve as a dressing room.
E) REFRESHMENTS:
Purchaser will provide refreshments for the band and crew (10
people total) from load-in thru load-out. At load-in: a CASE
of Calistoga, Crystal Geyser, or other non-sparkling bottled
water, is required at the stage. At sound check: (or two
hours prior to doors opening, whichever comes first) catering
is required in dressing room or other suitable area.
Suggestions include: A hot meal - chicken, fish, pasta or other low fat hot entree (no red meat
please), salads, fruit, veggies, desert items, soft drinks (please include caffeine-free
beverages), juices, coffee (cream & sugar), water, ice, cups, glasses,
plates, and utensils. Please avoid deli-trays unless there is no other
option. The band would rather have a few pizzas and a bucket of
chicken than another deli tray. REFRESHMENTS ARE TO REMAIN IN THE
DRESSING ROOM AREA UNTIL LOAD-OUT IS COMPLETE.
F) STAGE: The stage is
to be a sturdy, single level platform, 20'D x 40'W x 2'H (optimum) or 16'D x 32'W x 2'H (minimum). A carpeted drum riser (8' x 6' x 2') is recommended at

or 24-0.5L bottles) of Calistoga, Crystal Geyser, or other
non-carbonated bottled water are required on stage at
load-in.
The stage is to be set, in
place and free of encumbrances when the crew arrives for
load-in. PAPA's band gear placement will take first priority
over decor, podiums, opening acts equipment, etc. Any delay
in starting performance due to incomplete staging is
purchaser's sole responsibility. If there is to be a dance
floor, it is to be centered, directly in front of the stage,
with no obstruction (tables, decor, etc.) between stage and
dance floor.
If necessary, purchaser will
provide electric fans, and/or heaters on stage to assure that
stage temperature does not rise above 105 degrees F nor fall
below 45 degrees F. If temperature exceeds either limit, PAPA
will have the option to postpone, cancel, or curtail their
show, with no effect to compensation. A "rain date" may be
arranged.
Storage for equipment cases is
required. It should be a 15' x 15' area, near the stage and
out of sight of the audience. If stage is outside, purchaser
shall provide plastic covers to cover all equipment and

including but not limited to rain, wind, snow, hail, and
excessive heat, is purchaser's responsibility.
