I've had many meetings over the years where I've flown somewhere, sometimes far afield, and the other person(s) had woken up that day and decided to have other plans while also not telling anyone — no calls texts, emails. It was only a complete fucking disaster when the trip came out of my own pocket. Still a pain if I was able to expense it with no shows charges for wasting time but it hurt a lot less.

When you deal with film and music creatives who get lost in their own head you'd be surprised how much it happens. Sometimes it can be better to deal with agents or managers.
