LA Birthday Show

[jkmaletic]

Wow- just wow.

I felt REALLY bad for you guys that had arrangements/tickets to Webster Hall. Living on the West Coast, however, it was impossible for me to go. It's also why I missed the Barnes and Noble DVD signing. She never did one of those out here. It is possible that she will still reschedule the Webster Hall show though- it's not like her show schedule is all booked up. I'd say there is still hope for Webster Hall.

As for me, this email about the birthday show took me by total surprise! I live about 2 1/2 hours away, so I would need some time off work. I wish it wasn't on a thursday night. I'm going to see if I can make it happen though.

I'm sick right now.

We talked about this on the phone.... it's super far for you which makes it unlikely that you can go simply because it's more money, but for me, IT'S 2 HOURS. And I STILL can't go.

Webster Hall was planned first and tickets were on-sale and sold before they ever had a LA plan. I asked about LA in mid-April because I was on the guest list for Webster. I was told that LA "might" happen if they could find a date that worked with all the press and TV appearances in May. I found out about the LA booking over the weekend. The show is May 26...

Did it say anywhere that it's on the 26th, or are we just guessing? Wasn't Miley's "sweet 16 birthday bash" (or whatever it was called) like 3 months away from the actual day?

I'm desperately hoping it's actually the 28th. I just can't miss work and school to be there on a Thursday *sigh*

FRAK.

*sigh* better to let it go now, I guess.
(But of course I'll keep debating whether it would be worth it to miss the end of the concert and take a red eye, etc.)

Thank you for the info! And my apologies in advance for the people here who will inevitably accuse you of lying and/or withholding information.

I'm sort of surprised that it is finally happening, but I had heard since before Webster was officially announced that there were going to be these gigs in both NYC and in LA. I don't think she's just throwing something together, I think it has been planned for quite some time, but just like Webster, they waited until just weeks before the show to announce it.

It would at least be nice for them to honor some of the tickets from Webster though, just incase she doesn't reschedule it.

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.

I know exactly how you feel Being also a devout fan for over 30 years having just spent a good amount of $ for the NY show. This feels Sh**ty
Last night I just tallied up all my travel receipts towards the NYC Webster Hall gig (including airfare, hotel, meals, etc.) and it totaled @$25oo.00 for a "special event" that was cancelled just as I was touching down in LaGuardia Airport by way of Denver, Colorado.
If I hadn't just blown that much cash, I would sooooooo be at this LA "intimate Bday performance". So this is nothing against West Coast vs East Coast. I feel the most for those of us who traveled from states outside NY - this is like rubbing salt in an open wound.

But Hurrah for those lucky enough to attend, because I am seriously & bitterly jealous

A plane ticket is almost 400. I have a friend in LA who I could probably stay with. But because of NYC I have NO money to go. I hate everything right now.
