It really galls me when so-called "professionals" pull stunts like this.
Even the greenest newbie knows that not only do you need to be setup long 
before you are supposed to PLAY, you also need to be setup long before the 
audience arrives.
Admittedly, sometimes unforseen things happen - trucks break down, etc. 
Unfortunately, this attitude also seems to be all too common among those who 
get a "big head."
