Dirt bag.
[ 9:06 pm ] I got a call from Joel yesterday ... now, usually when I do get a call from him, it's usually either he needs some help or just a listening ear. In this case, it's just someone who's willing to hear him out. Ok, listening, I can do that. A couple of months ago, there was a little 'shakeup' at his dance studio, to cut the long story short, some low life thought he could take over the studio (lol) through some underhanded tactic which resulted in a few of his students and staff leaving for that guy. He eventually opened a studio in Puchong hoping to fleece some of Joel's student by basically ... character assassination, lol. Wow ... just when I thought I've met all kinds of people, but this guy is really something. That's really low. You bad mouth the same person that taught you, guided you, and now, you bit the hand that fed you. Speaks a lot about his character, don't you think? What a dirt bag. Anyways, the studio didn't do really well (as expected) and he decided to open up DIRECTLY in front of Joel's studio. Sigh ... what is he trying to prove? As expected, Joel is worried. After knowing him for more than 15 years now, I've not seen him this bothered before. Well, if your passion and business was threaten, I guess I would be. There were unscrupulous people using his name as well for shows, workshops, etc. This led to a few misunderstandings ... imagine la, if someone used Nike's brand and organised an event when they don't hold the rights to that brand. Your reputation is at stake. I suggested that he gets Urban Groove trademarked, that way, it should deter people from using Urban Groove for unauthorised events. At least if he wants, he could sue them for lost of income and damaging his studio's reputation. I gave him the contact of the company where we registered our trademark with, let's see if he'll register Urban Groove. Anyways, hope all will be well. I'll probably drop by and have a look see at the *ahem* competitor's studio :D Street dancing is really, really dirty business. Anything and everything goes. 0 comments Archives nothing |
