Stop Being Cheap

Ok, this is something I feel I need to bring up. First I am rather new to the world of being an author and attending events. When there is an event that I want to attend to solicit my books I pay the necessary registration fees. There are so many other authors that also pay for events. The problem is there are those CHEAPSTERS that have not paid to go to an event to solicit their books. I feel it's not right to crash an event when you have not paid and gone through the proper procedure. It is a competition; in itself, to sell books in this recessionary economy. There are some artists / authors that think they are entitled to attend an event without paying for admission. They think they can just come in and not PAY and solicit their books. I for one am not for that. I don't care how known or paid, or successful you are. PAY to PLAY!!! Thus, I'm not mad at the hustle I just think the hustler needs to be a person that abides by the rules. Basically, to me your a cheap jokester. Don't brag about going to an event and how successful or popular are when you cannot professionally patronize the event. I say you deserve to be kicked out of the event. Stop griping when you are kicked out.
