No problem. I just hate to see a good pair of Hanes go to waste due to a mis-reading followed by over-reaction.
I appreciate your information about Susi and now realize her lifetime job isn't blog updating (and am happy for her new career). Looks like that duty has
been turned over to Tweetnesis. I say this with no hard feelings towards Susi - as a fan, just disappointed to see it lacking so much.

I think she tries to do as much as she can... She got a site that updates the tweets, not that I think that is not weird.. Someone actually came up with a
whole site that's sole functions is to gather tweets...but.. I am sure when she has time she will update..
Interesting in the management panel on the boat... They sited Try and Msm as was one of the main reasons they said we don't need a fan club such as L-83...except for the tickets... there is nothing they can report that Try or MSM does not find and post. debbie  there came a moment in the middle of the song when he suddenly felt
every heartbeat in the room & after that he never forgot he was part of something much bigger...Brian Andres

Very interesting about the websites' mention on the panel. Seems to be a very valid point though; evident of the strength and diversity of John's fan
base. I am only a member of L83 for the tickets as I'm sure many fans are. I may have come off a bit strong the site "sucked," but with it being
the L83 panel mentioning of TRY, I'd like to think it somewhat legitimizes the disappointment. I know the site has had a plethora of visitors, but curious
to know what kind of revenue the ads generated/now generate and daily past vs. current traffic statistics.

You know Debbie, that saddens me that his management company thinks they had nothing to offer to fans. That whole MSM/Try comment truely sounds like a cop out.
They had content control over the site/club but chose not to do much with it. Maybe if they got creative (*gasp*) and came up with some exclusive content, like, I don't know...live CDs or DVDs from the tour for fan club members only, it wouldn't have to be put down. PS...the content here and over at Try can be found with any Google search or at any supermarket check out lane.

How about an early release or a DVD for the fan club, or meet-ups/listening parties sponsored by L83? (They would DEFINITELY have to get their act together on freebie merch release...I still haven't gotten my playing cards...grrrr...) Yeah, it would eventually make it to mainstream but having it first is even better. I also like the idea of the "designer" tickets -- last year's tour was a let down with the plastic lanyards and Livenation tix. I much preferred the year before with the ticket designs. Maybe he could take a cue from NKOTB back in the day... their moms originally ran the fanclub... betcha Mrs. Mayer would kick ass and take names at that job...

I think this is all too little, too late...from what they were saying...We are going to get tickets and that is about it. And believe me if that is all we
get, I will be happy with that. All there ever was anyway.
I think it is a bit late for suggestions, these have all been suggested before anyway, for years and years and nothing has been done. We used to have special shows...the last one was in 06 in Toronto. Mod Club and I loved the soundchecks, we used to get. besides you all know as well as I do... anything that is exclusive would be released here or at Try anyway...so why bother. And yes you can all offer suggestions ..but to tell you the truth, I can't see it happening. Let's just let l-83 rest in peace and hope we get as good tickets as we used to from whatever comes next. debbie there came a moment in the middle of the song when he suddenly felt

I just noticed that Susie is on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!
She just posted a camera phone picture of her standing in skis in front the Materhorn mountain in Europe on her Twitter account,.... I really think she should be allowed to go on vacation without having to update that blog. :-)) this whole thread is hilarious to me.. why do people always bitch about silly stuff like this???? |

Actually is pretty funny. Even funnier that Susi is another internet celebrity. Random people are completely aware of her where-abouts and would totally kick
someone's ass in her honor. I hope she's drinking a pina colada.
