So much for being cute.....

I had a hilarious moment happen today I've been waiting to share.  So, getting booked at The Cosmopolitan is a lot of emailing, contracts, rules, and red tape.  Generally, when bands get booked they have what is called a hospitality rider.  This is a contract of sorts that artists use to get their utmost wants and desires at each venue.  You may or may not have heard tales of performers requesting fresh flowers, bowls of only green M&Ms, or dressing rooms set at certain temperatures.  The Yes Team prides itself on being chill and low-maintenance.  We requested a minimal amount of food and beverages.  However, The Yes Team can be a little cheeky.  We like to think we're pretty funny.  At the end of our rider I requested 2 dozen high fives.  The following is an excerpt from the email responding to our requests:

What are high fives? Not familiar with this product….

I just about died.
