I was using this festival as an example the other day in my AP Macroeconomics class (yay me!) to discuss exchange rates. A student asked "If a band is booked in August of one year, but doesn't get paid until the NEXT September, how do you build exchange rates into the contract?" I think I have an idea, but I'd love to share the real answer from the man himself. I assume each band get's paid in their own currency and if that's the case, Glenn do you just suck it up and cuss when the dollar loses it's value over the year or do you have something in place to counterbalance that? Or do you pay them in USD? I'm very interested in this process if you get a moment.
