If you can't make rockstar, you could always be the "trim coordinator"
I think you can figure out what that is.
Also, it is a real job.........usually the bands security or roadies assume this responsibility.
They each write their name on the backs of the passes they hand out and whatever band member scores a girl with your name.........you get a little bonus like 100$ or a case of beer or some dope.
No shit, honest to god truth their is such a person.
