An agreement was met. The position of Steven Leflar was to organize the company and lower overhead. After a complete analysis of the companies financial situation was determined it was found to be more than $100.000.00 in debt consisting of deposits paid by the clients for future events were already spent prior to the partnership. (Supporting documents can be found at: www.northbaye.net )
The company was moved to Concord CA where a new license was started as agreed by the two owners of North Bay Entertainment. The company had major problems in Napa since it was operating without a business license since April 9, 2007. (Source is from The City of Napa Finance Department.) Thomas Schoenberger had notified the City of Napa that he had moved the company to Rohnert Park when indeed he operated as usual in Napa to avoid paying license fees and taxes. He was already under an audit from 2004 to 2007 at the time. North Bay Entertainment also had a reputation for not paying artists and had been sued on two occasions and lost by 2005. One of the articles you can find at: http://www.napavalleyregister.com/news/articl ... 50456e22fb.html
Thomas Schoenberger didn’t carry any General Liability insurance and would tell clients that would ask for the certificate he was under the Star Sounds umbrella.
We needed to start fresh without all the storm clouds hanging overhead of North Bay Entertainment.
North Bay Entertainment went forward without Thomas or Steven collecting any income from North Bay Entertainment. All of the profit was left in the company to reduce its debt. Thomas Schoenberger Managing Partner of North Bay Entertainment found ways to make money off of North Bay by bypassing normal business operating procedures. He would pick up checks against North Bay contracts and deposit them into his personal North Bay Bank accounts instead of the company account keeping the profits. He would also write his own contracts listing his home address and personal phone numbers.
It was found in November 2008 he was claiming he sold North Bay in February 2008 to people who were owed money. He has continued since with his claim he sold the company without a bill of sale or legal transfer of ownership of any kind. However he continued to do business as North Bay Entertainment Managing Partner.
Thomas Schoenberger then proceeded to defame and slander anybody that didn’t go along with him using Yelp and many other community websites. Thomas also created a website www.starsoundsdjmusic.com posting all kinds of false information and went as far as to copyright as Star Sounds Productions 2009 on the website. He registered it to Star Sounds Productions but listed himself as administrative contact with his email address and contact phone number. The website was taken down by the Star Sounds attorneys. Why would Star Sounds Productions put up a website and then slander itself.
Thomas has been working with Gig Xifaras of Associated Entertainment as a competitor of Star Sounds Productions and to recoup monies owed by Thomas DBA North Bay Entertainment in an effort to damage Star Sounds Productions. They both have made claims against Star Sounds Productions to artists and venues alike that are false but are true about North Bay Entertainment.
Thomas Schoenberger claims he sold North Bay Entertainment in February 2008 to Star Sounds Productions making Steven Leflar responsible for the North Bay Entertainment debt. If it were true then Steven Leflar would also have the assets of North Bay Entertainment and the only bank account under North Bay Entertainment since February 2008. The evidence at this point shows Thomas Schoenberger has deposited over $100,000.00 into his own bank account for North Bay Entertainment business. His own bank statements dated February 25, 2008 to March 24, 2008 total deposits $33,162.50 and April 16, 2008 total deposits $45,837.25. Total $78,999.75 in just two months. The balance of the bank statements are being subpoenaed. Now we have to add in all the checks written to North Bay Entertainment Concord contracts that he collected and put into his bank account.

The AEC stuff from 4 08 was paid long ago. So you can take those out.
I have made plans to pay David martin his three thousand since I received the check for this..
My immediate efforts are to raise an infusion from my art sources in the first week of Feb to guide
the company into better waters..
All 12 days of Christmas performers have been paid in full and Steve has the check stubs...
I am concerned about Guy Gash, but know Steve has dumped some money into his account weeks
ago.
My wife's two gigs are unpaid, but i plan on just using that credit to take care of the cell phone bills
we accrued..

Hi Thomas
I hope all is well. I want to respond to you directly and not through Eric as this is none of his business. As I
understand, he is no longer Managing Director.
I would like to clear up the books by the end of the year. I know that you are waiting for me to send a check
for the commissions and I have it ready. I want to remind you that the reason I was writing contracts and
paying commissions in the first place is that I could no longer afford to carry balances. Especially this year,
because of the shortage of gigs, we do not have the “$$$ cushion” to wait for money. I would basically have
to borrow money if not paid which will cost us financially.
As you know, I have been more than generous in the past about debt letting it run into the $20,000+ when I
could “let it ride”.
I don’t think it is unreasonable to want payment within 7 days. All of the other agencies we work for pay
before or within a couple of days of the event. I have to have payment to the players within 7 days at the
most or no one will want to work for us. Any of our players reporting to other competitors about slow
payment would ruin our reputation for years to come. I know that you disagree, but if musicians are paid
timely they never forget.
I would like to send my check for the commissions next week and receive the $$$ from all events through
December 8, 2007 by December 15, 2007. I know there is at least one Phantom show booked but I have not
received the retainer (as agreed) on that (those) yet. We should clear that up by the end of the year also.
Thanks for understanding about the finances.
Kevin

Steve,
Hope all is well. I am headed to Palm Beach the first week of Feb to raise cash to better the situation .With so many falling apart, and with our personal short crisis that blew over. I am confident that I will do well at my meeting.
Lets get together beforehand, when you are back from Philly.
Things may look bleak now, but we have always survived, and we just have to hang tough.
The artists can all be addressed and in the end, it will work out.
We can take meetings with whoever needs it, and we can meet what we need to head on,unflinching..together..
Lets make this investment work.
In the end, the artists make lots of noise, but its up to us to not act like they do ...
We will succeed brother .....
Looks like I will be hanging out with some heavies ...... and I am ready for it...

HeyHon ~
I've been looking over the excel sheet for 2008 to figure out why we are so behind in payments and I've come up with some numbers for Thomas.
I show that since you changed the Bank Account from Umpqua to Wells Fargo NBE had to come up with $43,122.50 to pay performers. Without money to back it up because:
I also show that $64,560.75 was put into the Umpqua account and none of it was paid out. It was gobbled up into the black hole that is Thomas NBE.
Please check out the Excel sheet that I've attached. Does it make since???? Give me a call with any questions.

Hey guys...Update for everyone.
Getting through some brutal times. But we will all pull through
Eric, my apologies for thinking the e-mail stuff was your son's fault.
It looks like it could be a mac problem.
I have been in a very poor mood because of dealing with so many forces at once. But I remain confident that
there will be better days ahead
The stresses of low money, debt and soft business can harden anyone.
But the good news here is that musicians have been paid some money before Christmas and the both Star
Sounds and NBE is going into wedding booking season now.
I see lost of misery at the wineries and resorts, with everyone blaming everyone else.
The way forward for all of us is to grab the bull by the horns and lead together.
Let everyone else fall apart as we chose to lead by example.
Steve, you have done an extraordinary job creating winning systems for NBE that the agency needed. Star
Sounds is going to be in the winners seat for 2009 and I plan to do everything I can to help you. Between us
and Eric, NBE can be shored up. If you need any help on the studio side of things, I am here for you as I am
sure Eric is.
Eric, you have dealt with and been strengthened by stress.
I am doing my best to keep the musicians cool and ready to work.
Nobody likes recessions. They are tough and break spirit
But I know NBE pretty well and can tell you that deposit season is coming shortly and we must all keep our
heads as everyone around us falters.
When weddings book, deposits come in.
That should take off much pressure.
As far as Crystal, she has had her own rough patch in 2009. Lets cut everyone some slack and gear up to be
the best brokers we can be.

Eric is handling Guy Gash soup to nuts
I suspect that he told Gig that I was day to day manager of NBE, but when I asked him, he as
usual denied it...
I set Gig straight and told him you and I own many businesses and NBE is just one of them
We can set up terms with him and he will be ok.
Gig is someone I trust
Are we expecting monies this week?

Here is how dumb Eric is. We decide to play the roles. I will be former owner, you will stay silent and Eric will
play leading man
Instead, he tells Guy that
1) He does not know when, if ever, he will get paid
2) The company is not owned by Thomas, but he is responsible
3) He is owed money too and is really scared
4) That either Thomas or Steve are the people he should talk to
He blew it big-time. When guy asked me who owns the company, I told him a corporation. I think he will
check Napa and will find nothing
Notice how I did not mention your name? Thats called strategy. Guy should be looking at Eric hard about
now...
The trick here is to give him no info....The problem with Eric is that he is looking out for number one...
Also, he obviously did the same s**t to Angela and hung you out to dry...
Steve, Eric needs to pay for this s**t man.. He is not doing right, he is not engaging in successful tactics and he
is playing victim..
If I could have come in with my role, I could have fixed this s**t. Notice how I do not mention you at all, not
your name, not your address, nothing...?
That is on purpose. Two people need to survive this bud... Me and you....
Eric hangs me out to dry all the time. He hung you out too, so as far as I am concerned. Guy Gash will not
have the common sense or will to sue....
Angela will have to choose to work something out...as Kevin will...
Eric stabbed us both in the back....so lets both be careful what we say to him....
Steve, he is such a putz....I f***ing pay him his measly 800 bucks a month, ask him to handle 1/10th of what I
handle, and the guy blows it....

Crystal, since 2000, when I got sick, there has not been a year that we were under 100k in forward debt Even last year, we had 20k in legal fees alone, never mind IRS bills above 10k, consumer debt of 63,000, higher
overhead ( office) and legal troubles.
To have a 50k deficit after having a 376k hole in 2001 is wonderful frankly speaking.
It is my liability , since the business is not incorporated. Going forward, the key is to gain market share while we are in
a growth recession. This is being achieved by bring Steve Leflar on board and defining our AR/AP mechanisms, growth sales and strategies.
I have spoken to Barry and he can wait. I see him for lunch on Wednesday. As far as debts, you forgot to add the 11k still owed me personally that I loaned to the agency.
I have the transfer info from 101007634 to 4099 that we will give to Dan Moore with our tax info.
Even with a much slower economy, we have cut sunk costs, improved efficiency and are now targeting new accounts with a vengeance. We will next work on getting everyones hours tuned up so our clients can expect a predictable call back/ contract generation ratio
I would say that we are basically recovered.For a business our size, our debt is manageable.
Happy New Year
Thomas

Good thoughts all. Lets re-new in Napa and set it u as partnership. We also have to set up a forgiveness of debt
paper for the second half I never got from you. I am cool about the 55k, since the economy went south and that
ain't your fault. We can roll that amount into the figures.
As far as his debt, we get him booked and apply x amount of every gig towards it. Maybe we meet with him next
week. We can also meet with MiI~e Halem together and sign that doc.
I dont have anything to say about the Loders.; I offered them a gig and got no response, so I am not motivated to
reach out again to them....
But overall, this can all be fixed ...Lets plan to go to WelisFargo, get you in as co signer, take out a license with both
names...all is good

Thomas Schoenberger then proceeded to defame and slander anybody that didn’t go along with him using Yelp and many other community websites. Thomas also created a website www.starsoundsdjmusic.com posting all kinds of false information and went as far as to copyright as Star Sounds Productions 2009 on the website. He registered it to Star Sounds Productions but listed himself as administrative contact with his email address and contact phone number. The website was taken down by the Star Sounds attorneys. Why would Star Sounds Productions put up a website and then slander itself.
Thomas has been working with Gig Xifaras of Associated Entertainment as a competitor of Star Sounds Productions and to recoup monies owed by Thomas DBA North Bay Entertainment in an effort to damage Star Sounds Productions. They both have made claims against Star Sounds Productions to artists and venues alike that are false but are true about North Bay Entertainment.
Thomas Schoenberger claims he sold North Bay Entertainment in February 2008 to Star Sounds Productions making Steven Leflar responsible for the North Bay Entertainment debt. If it were true then Steven Leflar would also have the assets of North Bay Entertainment and the only bank account under North Bay Entertainment since February 2008. The evidence at this point shows Thomas Schoenberger has deposited over $100,000.00 into his own bank account for North Bay Entertainment business. His own bank statements dated February 25, 2008 to March 24, 2008 total deposits $33,162.50 and April 16, 2008 total deposits $45,837.25. Total $78,999.75 in just two months. The balance of the bank statements are being subpoenaed. Now we have to add in all the checks written to North Bay Entertainment Concord contracts that he collected and put into his bank account.

Rating: 0 Over The Hill Con Man - 24 Mar 2010Poor Thomas Schoenberger. He is being sued for operating without a business license since April 9, 2007 to date not to mention collecting thousands of dallors worth of checks from a company he claims he doesn't own thru July 2009 and depositing them into a NBE account that he has had for many years as Thomas Schoenberger DBA North Bay Entertainment not to mention wrote NBE contracts from his home address.
I almost forgot the over $40k he deposited into his NBE account statement ending April 2008.
see some of the actul documents at www.northbaye.net He has not accounted for the over $100k worth of contracts he collected and showed where he paid the contracts to the artists.
He has also lost two cases as Thomas Schoenberger DBA North Bay Entertainemnt with four more pending and many more to come.
He has since sold the name North Bay Entertainment to AEC Wine Country. See www.northbayentertainment.com
