Vegas Show Canceled

Postby Sick4Tunz » Sat May 07, 2011 2:22 pm

No explanation provided. I know that Kelly was not going to be in attendance at the Vegas gig because of the distance they have to drive themselves over night. Sounds like Mac and Will want to spend some time in San Francisco. This triggers a change in my plans.

I'd guess more to do with ticket sales than anything else, doubt the promoter would let them pull the show to save travelling time.....

I've heard of that.. it's not just a San Francisco treat. I believe it's been referred to as the San Francisco treat!

"It is with huge regret that the Echo & The Bunnymen concert scheduled for the 20th May Las Vegas – Red Rock Casino."

"The venue promoter decided to cancel the concert, we appreciate that lots of you have purchased tickets and booked flights and again we apologise. Ticket refunds are available from the place of purchase."

Yes, I'm guessing poor ticket sales. Seemed like such an odd venue for them. I was looking forward to thin crowds, where my drunken dancing would have been most evident, threatening Gordy as having the oddest moves in the theater. This was to be my wife's first show to see the Bunnymen. Nonrefundable airfare and hotel. OUCH!

Just out of curiosity, why was the Echo & the Bunnymen show canceled? Also, is there any possibility of rescheduling?

it’s a fair question Darrell, thank you, the best way to answer is to say that our venue size didn’t match the fan base, as of now there are no concrete plans to book the band but we will say we would love to host an Echo show in the future if the right opportunity comes along, sorry and thanks again

Sheesh, before that clip I thought Rice-A-Roni was tolerable for slop, but I have no desire any more. I have never seen food look less appetizing.

Bwahaha! Last time I had R-a-R was in college when I forgot to look at the expiration date. Had eaten half before I noticed the "extra" protein, in the form of little worms..... :vomit: indeed!

Hmm... sounds like somebody's confusing her own life with a scene from "The Lost Boys"

How can rice expire? All the other shit's in a little packet. I find this story hard to swallow.
