You might even get some give-aways that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise. So, try to be optimistic, even tho I know you're probably crushed, pissed & worried about Stevie right now, it's hard to do, but I don't see her NOT rescheduling & making it up in a BIG way.

I'm not so confident about a reschedule. I mean, the whole point of this thing was to have a big party, get notices in the music press and possibly even film footage. A month from now IYD will probably be well on its descent off the charts. The horse has almost left the barn and Stevie is not riding on it.

Y'know, this CD is the biggest thing to happen to Stevie in a decade. She was absolutely stoked about it. Everything was going great. So if she cancels on the eve of the official launch, then that means she's really sick, and while I have sympathy for people who're losing time and money, I can't help thinking it's not the big picture. I'm seeing some pretty angry and selfish stuff going on over on Twitter right now, but all I can think of is that I want her to be OK.

Obviously everyone wants her to be OK and go nowhere until she is fully healed.

But people have a right to be upset at the situation...NOT Stevie.

Not necessarily. This could be a way for some more publicity down the road, esp. if Dave decides to film the event. I think Stevie should now do something extra for it - like perform the whole album instead of just 6 new songs.

In any event, I feel bad for everybody who spent the $ and made the trip. And I'm sure Stevie is feeling frustrated as hell. Bet she's glad Oprah had her on weeks ago.
