For me, it's not about being "jealous of west coasters" or feeling anger towards those who have the opportunity to go ... I live in Indiana, spent close to $2000 for the Webster Hall show... A once in a lifetime thing... I have been a Stevie fan for 30 years, and just knew this show would be everything we had waited for... it was crushing to have it canceled (I know she couldn't help being ill) BUT! If I am truthful, the birthday show is kind of like rubbing salt in an open wound... I know Stevie doesn't owe me (or anyone else for that matter) anything... her words and music are gift enough... but this is... I don't know... it has just kind of deflated me when I read the email. I want to be happy about it for all of those able to attend... but selfishly, even though I had a GREAT time in New York City, I feel a bit let down.

Only 300 ****ing dollars and I'm sure I can't go because I owe my dad.

I hate everything. Seriously, I hate EVERYTHING. I just flew across the country to see this performance and look what happens.

Can you drive to it? Take friends, share the cost?

Good for Stevie, and good for the fans on the West Coast who never would have been able to make the Webster Hall gig, even if it had gone on as scheduled.

Very true, not everyone is able to travel from coast to coast so easily. I'm sure this event would be happening whether Webster was cancelled or not, and I really don't think it's to make up it at all. I'm not disagreeing that Webster being cancelled was like a kick in the stomach to those who were going, I would have been upset at the time too but I wouldn't go as far to say that it's unfair for this event to happen because of a previous show being cancelled.

If the show at The Webster had never been scheduled, the fact that she is doing this new show would not have bothered me at all. Stevie is only human and I am not upset with her at all for BEING human and getting sick at an unfortunate time that caused The Webster and The Borgata shows to be cancelled.

What I am upset about is the timing of this new show with the recent cancellation of The Webster. I understand scheduling wise it probably works best for Stevie to do something on the West coast this month. But this is not what you do after you release a press statement that you, "hope to reschedule," and then reschedule The Webster show "in disguise" now as Stevie's birthday party across the country.

I feel completely burned as a fan by her management.

we got 'robbed', happy for the west coasters but was really looking forward to NYC, now I may just have to go back to LA, was just there for the Bowl show...oy vey!

Where are you getting that this is the Webster show "in disguise"? I think it's entirely possible that this show could have been planned all along, to coincide with the East Coast Webster show. Makes sense to me...have a fan gathering on the east, then a few weeks later, have one on the west.

I'm down

If the theme of last week's get-together was giddy, sloppy dancing, the next one might be uncontrollable sobbing and rage blackouts. But I think I might need that.

I know! I was just there too and flew back the night before Webster. Oh well.

How much is it to charter a jet coast to coast?

louielouie2000 · #45 05-09-2011, 08:23 PM

Anybody else have a sneaking suspicion this show is going to be filmed (at least partially) for Stevie's documentary on the making of IYD? That's the main reason I can see her rescheduling something like this. She's never really thrown us fans a bone like this before (an intimate setting, her star friends stopping in to sing/play with her, etc)... why start now?
