dear sports, inc ...

i've been waiting all day to write so that i could get my thoughts straight..

let it be known: the ONLY reason we ever came to sports, inc was because of MARK ADKINS..

we have been faithful friends and supporters of his for over 3 years now, and have followed him to every karaoke venue he has had in that time..

we are not passers-by who just happened upon your establishment.. we did not bring friends and family to your place just by happenstance.. we came only because mark's show was there..

in the few weeks since you opened, we have been to sports, inc at least once a week.. and in that time, we experienced underpoured AND overpriced drinks each time we ordered drinks (and we order a LOT of drinks).. meals took over an hour to be served, and this last weekend, mine was COLD.. the tabs were always wrong - last weekend we were charged for our friends' food.. drink orders were delivered wrong.. the very first time we ever visited your place, we were served WATERED-DOWN tequila shots (how stupid do you think we are that we would not have noticed?)..

we put up with ALL of this for one reason: MARK ADKINS and his karaoke show - not just ANY karaoke show, or just ANY KJ - but the best show put on by the best KJ in the dallas area.. (have you not seen or heard about all his awards for his show??)..

believe me, we have been to MANY karaoke shows in the dallas area in the last four years, and mark's is the only show which is not only FAIR, but is also FUN.. he has the most extensive, up-to-date song list of any KJ i have sung for.. he is always fair, and above board, and you should be ashamed for treating him the way you have..

you should also be ashamed for the way you have treated your customers.. we brought many people - apologizing the whole time to them for your shortcomings - just so that we could attend mark's show.. and many people from mark's previous show followed him - not just a few - but MANY..
and i assure you - that we will ALL follow him to his next show, which will most assuredly be a success..

we will not be back.. and we will definitely be passing on the above sentiments to all our friends, families, and acquaintances..
