Got tickets. Booked flights and reserved seats. Had leave approved. Booked accommodation. ย It's been an expensive month, but I've never had it all sewn up so early. Looking forward to getting past the financial sting and enjoying what's to come as a sunk cost. -
I took a risk this year and booked my flights a few days before ticket sale (I could change the dates afterwards if I wasn't successful). I'm thankful I did because the flights I booked for $1,632 are now selling for $2,871. Feels good to have it all sorted so early.

smarter to keep it small as Cruel World is 30,000 if it was sold out in the space it takes place in.ย -

The building maintenance and construction industry is notorious for corruption, the world over. I once had a contractor ask me directly if I wanted to 'go in with him' in robbing my employer. As my employer was a housing charity, and because of a sense of decency, I refused his, very generous,ย offer. I already knew of a way that it could be done without even the FBI,ย Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG), or any other forensic sleuth could ever have nailed me (and the contractor) as by the time any invoice was raised, all evidence would have disappeared. I asked the contractor if this was the system that he proposed would have been used. he agreed that it was. he had spotted it too. ย So, what did I do? I told him 'No' that's not what I wanted. What I wanted was for him to stop taking the piss so much with his prices, and then we'd all be happy ie. I wouldn't get on his case in a deranged obsessive manner. You have to realise that there was one of me, and he had between 12 and 15 blokes working on my contract at any one time. That's like me going out to play a game of rugby against a full team of rugby players. well, who's going towin that match? It's a no brainer that the contractor would win. However, he also knew that if he didn't comply then I'd probably have devoted my life to nailing him to the cross. So he backed off with the excessive prices. ย The thing is though - it's not just the building industry where this goes on. It's every industry where there's a glut of money swashing about. It's local and national government too. it's everywhere - always has been and always will be. -
well she isnt getting any money from the broadcast, so nothing to gain there. That is also another small wrinkle here. All the re recordings are not out yet so her being put on TV for this kind of thing can have a wrench thrown in even though it likely wouldnt. Theres a clause on the masters sale that lets the owners control performances of songs if theyre on tv and such. So 2 albums left would technically let that be an issue even though its one of the rarest things to happen anyway. ย ย So now its 1975, Olivia and Stevie? Things do change fast eh. Are they just running through names and gauging how they would be accepted? You dropped 2 newer headliners in as many months just on the chance go get a repeat legacy act to please the old folks and to not let them leave early.
