   That's a shame.

   But does she want it fixed in any way?

   If they're bass cabs, it shouldn't be much of a big deal which way they're   
   pointed, because of the low frequencies, so long as they're at least in the   
   quarter space.

   More like downright Hostile!   
   I'd suspect such a person's motives for being in a band in the first place   
   are less than pure.

   I've always hated such a situation, another reason for wanting to play   
   better venues.

   They'd never have anything decent until they first change their Immature   
   attitudes!

   I'm sure she needs practice at that, but it's going to take the right   
   attitude to see that through.
