oh my.

So I think what happened is since nicksfix became official, John is no longer able to post any information unless it comes from the camp. And it seems the camp in some ways is not too organized when it comes to things like keeping the website updated and merchandising. Wonder if those are Chris's areas of responsibility.. LOL!!!

I still love the nicksfix because you do get things like Q&As, random handwritten notes and journal entries and the occassional rarely seen hi-res photo.

How would they prove whether you were at a show or not??? Would you have to show them a ticket stub or something?? I don't see how they could do that

And he would demand PROOF of what show you went to? If this is the case, he's a total creep.

That is a very optimistic assumption on your part!

Hope you're right, but with the level of organization and commitment this clown has shown towards getting things done on time, I expect we'll be lucky if it includes photos of her from the SA era...

Selling the tourbooks only to people who attended the Two Voices/Gold Dust concerts is just plain stupid, I'm not saying he didn't say it or suggest it - I'm just saying it's not very business savy. Why wouldn't they want to sell to anybody who would buy one? And like someone just said, how the hell would they know you didn't go?

:ring ring:
asshole selling books: hello?
eager young fan: Yes I'd like to order a tourbook please!
asb: Did you attend any of the shows during the Two Voices/God Dust tour?
eyf: No, but I went to see her in Vegas, gambled, lost all my money, my home, and my job but was able to save enough cash for the tourbook. I love Stevie very much and...
asb: sorry, you can't have one.
:click:

:ring ring:
asb: hello?
bootlegger/scalper dude: Hi, I attended a show on the Gold Dust tour and would love to order a tourbook to sell on ebay for a billion dollars.
asb: prove it.
b/sd: I can send you a copy of the show I bootlegged and receipts of all the money I made selling them to fans!
asb: how many tourbooks would you like?

I guess the tour books weren't ready for Cinci....

...maybe by Atlantic City? Tampa? West Coast?

Does anybody besides me worry that there won't be a tourbook?

Not as much as I worry it'll be yet another tour around her Phoenix house with wishings for a safe and happy new year from Stevie and Chris! Oh wait, that was Enchanted.

I'm sure there will be one--I just doubt we'll see it until mid July, IMO.

When I talked to Chris in Detroit, he said he was working hard on getting them done...I mean, how long does it take though?? I have to take into consideration though, that he did say he was the only one working on them, and he had no help...

I suspect there will be one....late. And that it will be an embarrassment for all parties involved.

Actually from my experience in printing, he would be required to reserve printing presses and a bindery at the plant he's using. So if he could design it quickly and meet whatever deadline he set up, it shouldn't take more than a week after to get them trucked to the next city on the schedule. If he's missing deadlines over and over, it just costs him more money to print them.

Whoever said it was optimistic to think Chris Nicks was using pictures from the Grand Rapids show for the tourbook, I say LOL. My thoughts exactly.
