I'm "sure" the Cordish clan have never walked all over people.

lol drama.
Still there's no excuse for making any sort of t-shirts. Let's act like adults.

Looks like Cordish needs a better legal team. If there were damages that could not be repaired in 14 days, then you make sure the contract addresses reliance damages; or you change the cancellation clause in your contract before it is signed. I am further appalled that Cordish seems to stand behind the t-shirts as a sound corporate decision. In fact, the common man would get away with this action as far as a court of law is concerned.

WAAAAH WE HAVE UNTOLD MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WAS DONE LET'S MAKE SOME DISPARAGING T-SHIRTS ABOUT IT

I say the commoditization and packaging of the "rock'n'roll experience" has done far more damage than Joel here.

I don't get it. The club entered a contract with Madden stating that he had an "out" up to fourteen days before the show. He canceled with hours to spare before that 14 day period. Seems like the club should have planned a bit better or had a better contract.

Angels Rock Bar vs. Joel Madden.

Fighting over a broken toy.

what idiot organization signs that contract with out compensation for damages within a certain period of time? They gambled, lost, and now they're crying to the casino that they lost money. Work a better contract next time.

Power Plant used to fill a fun niche here in town, a place to go and get your unfiltered dance on at places like Bar Baltimore and Have a Nice Day. Not great places mind you, but they served a purpose. Now, it's a bunch of lame themed bars that have better counterparts in other locations. Sad stuff really.

who is joel madden?

Some clearly do not know when it is best to just leave well-enough alone.

The Madden response was unecessary, but at least diplomatic. Mr. Miller should have just let it go.

wow, this is the kinda stuff you see on tv, or maybe in the magazines. buncha celebrities who'd all like a little sympathy. but all they do is cry and run, their mouths on the pages of the midnight sun.
tellin' me how hard life can be. someone should write a song about how they should spend a week, living life out on the streets.
frankly, i don't think they'd survive. if they could, they might spend a day or two, in someone else's shoes. it's possible that they'd fall. they might fall at some point.

ah well, lifestyles of the rich and the famous, eh? always complainin'.

Sam -maybe you'll make it on Perez Hilton over all this. You could be INfamous. Haha.

Sam, Nice job on this story... GC seems like a stand up guy. Isnt this the company that just put a bid on the old Tropacna in AC. I am sure they will go broke because GC cancelled, lets get real

The weirdest thing to me is that Reed Cordish doesn't respond to emails.

Does this conversation really warrant three threads? Aren't there more pressing, interesting things going on in Baltimore?

I don't know about anyone else, but I did not see any advertising for the Joel event at Angels.Isn't this the second or third time a celebrity decided not to show there? Seems to me Tommy Lee was also a no show.

"His contract had an “out” up to 14 days before the show. He literally cancelled 3 hours before that period. We were not even given a reason."

Hey, he still had the option to cancel, no explanation was necessary.

Reed Cordish & Co. took a gamble with the contract terms, which didn't pan out. Their reaction was an unjustifable reason for the petty and mean spirited retaliation.

Good Charolette is music for [w]ussies, anyways. Perhaps the biggest bunch of [bad words] I've ever seen. I'm pretty ashamed to admit they're from my state.

He has bigger priorities to take care of than dj-ing in a small club, why doesn't the club act mature and not make hate remarks and go as far as making shirts that call him names. very grown up of the club. to me, it just makes the club look like a dumb ... place to go.
