Dear Readers,
I know that many of you are very angry at me and have accused me of all sorts of malicious intent and have said things like im only announcing this bad information so that odysseylive can generate hits and what not. The truth is, though i want the site to have its hits, my announcing that the Eraserheads concert is canceled was because for a moment it was indeed considered canceled. What happened was that Philip Morris has backed out from being the ones behind it. My information came from someone who works under Marlboro, so it was indeed considered Official Information. What is happening now is that another company has taken over the project and will be handling the show.
I offer my apologies to those who were offended by my post but i assure you that i only announced that info because in the end we all just wanted to know what the hell was going on! And that is exactly what was going on. Im just glad that the concert is going to push through and that were all going to have the chance to watch one of the greatest bands ever!!!
here's a text raims sent me earlier this evening:
"dude, quote me on this: Philip Morris has pulled out of the show, but its pushing through with a different promoter. Aug 30. Tickets will be sold next week".
Here's a message that Raims posted on yahoogroups:
dear everybody
after much ado. the eraserheads concert is most definitely pushing
through.
philip morris and its brands have pulled out from the concert. but
another company is taking over the production. the turn over started
yesterday and they have already started work on the site in the fort.
so you can check.
there are good news and bad news.
unfortunately its no longer free. all the long winded registration
procedures in the red nation site is now void.
the good news is that the age limit is now 12 years old (for safety
reasons)and tickets will be sold so you dont have to wait for
confirmation and what not.
the official announcement and ticketing details will come out in major
newspapers and on the radio on tuesday.
these are the only details i know for now so no need to email me. im
just the drummer.
btw. i just got home from the last rehearsal. the band is cooking. we
will see you all on the 30th.
