This is when being a self employed singer sucks. Gigs are always at weekends, and I miss stuff. Also, if we don't do the gig we don't get paid.

It would have been great to meet those MR rockers who are attending, but I am looking forward to seeing the fabulous photo's I know Marty will provide us with shortly after the event.
Hope everyone going has a great time.

Got a gig Thursday of that week? Perhaps we can come see you ...

So, unfortunately we don't have one Thursday night.

1300 is a sell out. Big club really. Nice venue. I think 900 tickets sold each day thus far.

Hmmm,, If 1300 is a sell out and if they sold 900 tickets a day,,, that means it took 1 day and 8 hours to sell out , right???

No, it's a two-day event. This means that 900 for each day. It's all in the wording. :wink:

Hmmmm... It's a 2 day event. Venue holds 1300 and 900 tickets have sold for each day. So that means there is 400 tickets available for each day. mmmm... I think I did my math correctly. :lol:

Where did you learn your math Beshad? :lol:

I think you totally missed what I meant, read what Rocker chick answered,
The way Andrew made it sound was : Theyve been selling 900/tix a day..... not about the event.... as in as days go buy since the release of tickets, theyve sold about 900 each day..... which with my shitty math would equal to , the place wouldve reached 1300 maximum, after 1 day and 8 hours after the tix where released....Its called SARCASM,,, where did you get your sense of humor?? :roll:

Chicas have landed ... in Manchester

Had to recite the entire Firefest line up for the immigration guy; he couldn't believe we'd come from Texas for a rock festival.

Cool old hotel; lobby looks like a set for a Madonna video

Yikes, need sleep ...

Safe journey to all of you who are enroute ...see you all there :!:

Glad you guys made it safe and sound. You better rest up, it's going to be a sleep deprived weekend.

See you Saturday.
