SiouxMeNow Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Martin Short has "rescheduled" his appearance at the Betty for the grand opening..... more to follow... Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 so....less than a week before the highly touted opening of the Betty...the "headline" act reschedules with no apparent explanation ...anyone wondering what's going on??? From what "I hear" ...ticket sales at $30 a seat where "less than expected" and someone from one end or the other (guess which one (hint REA) pulled the plug. Too bad they never considered bringing in a mariginal act at even a "gasp" losing price to make an event like the opening of a new sports facility a success might be "worthwhile" in the long run. I'm just wondering what "c" list of celebrities they even got Martin Shorts name off of in the first place??....and to make it worse...."A MUSICAL EVENING WITH..." ;) If only we could get Ed Grimleys take on this whole thing Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 it's a shame!!!! We'll still have fun but it could have been a lot MORE fun... Quote
dakotadan Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 What do you mean he has rescheduled? Is he playing/singing or not? I want to see Jimminy Glick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 my point was...GET SOMEBODY someone you might want to see for $5 or maybe $10 a ticket....fill the place!!! (even if you (GASP ) LOSE MONEY!!!... it's an opening for f*'s sake!!!! You only get ONE CHANCE to make good FIRST IMPRESSION!!!!.....(I think I got that from a shampoo commercal!) WHAT AM i MISSING HERE? Quote
7titles Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 siouxmenow, did you go to the opening? i think they blew their wad on the food. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 siouxmenow, did you go to the opening? i think they blew their wad on the food. no..but I heard...pretty ritzy!! my point was..if you WANTED to let the unwashed masses into the opening - you should have charged $10 for MARTIN SHORT and filled the place - even if you, GASP , lost a few bucks. Would have made it special for all of GF instead of a face-stuffing festival for the fatcats!!! ....just my opinion... Quote
sioux goo Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 heard at the opening there were quite a few people, sioux boosters turned away at the door, not even let into the building, because their name wasnt on the list, there were some very not happy people that night, and i hope there are no consequences!!
