Vent here about missing out on the Nicks birthday extravaganza!!!

Now, I have to consider myself a lucky person. I got to jet off to LA from Providence to see Lindsey's special show last month. That was amazing! I had a mini vacation to LA the week after. I flew to NJ after LA so I could take the NJ Transit into NYC with my PIC Alex. We had it all figured out. Everything was set in stone. My vacation days were accounted for as were my hotel reservations. About 5 minutes before Alex arrived at my hotel in NJ all Hell broke loose. I saw a post on Twitter that the show was canceled. It must be a cruel joke I thought to myself. How could she do this to us?
OK we get confirmation it has been canceled. I rearrange my travel plans and buy myself a new Coach bag as a consultation prize/birthday present to myself. I feel just awful for people who spent their last dollar flying in from the opposite side of the country to see the show. Alex and I are pretty much in a state of shock. I felt bad she got sick but by the same token she should have taken better care of herself. I thought to myself "Lindsey would never do this to his fans" and sadly kind of continue to hate on Stevie.
Then on May 9th I hear about the birthday show. Mind you I find out the day after my birthday. I am praying the show is on that Saturday which I could do in a heartbeat. It's not. It's on her actual birthday which is on a stupid Thursday. Boy was I pissed. I work 2 jobs for my company so if getting out of one job is tough can you imagine getting out of two?
I decide to say the Hell with it and book my flight and get ticket to the show. Anyway to make a long story short we are down a person at work. My boss was going to take that week off for vacation. If I called out it would have left only one person in the department. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I think what broke my heart the most was when I found Lindsey WAS going to be there. I was so upset as was my friend. This was the show WE were supposed to see. When I saw that anyone and everyone as far as fans were going I just became ill. I should be there with my camera filming it all to share on YouTube. I don't wish any ill will on any of the fans who got to go at all. I am so happy for them! But, I will say if she doesn't do this exact same show on the east coast I doubt I'd see her solo shows. Not going to waste my money on a stale set list when I could see Lindsey perform his fabulous new music instead.
