5th grade. Remember it? I was 11 years old. NSYNC was my favorite band and Justin Timberlake had the most beautiful curly hair ( I still can't believe he cut it all off...) My dad surprised me with tickets to see them, my first concert. I think there was a hurricane or something, but for some reason, on the day of the show, it was cancelled. I cried. and cried. and cried. You would have thought that someone had died, because i laid in bed all day and cried.
Well, today. I'm 21. Apparently concert devastation will strike once every 10 years...damn...should a' seen it coming. I got home from work an hour ago and had a couple emails (one from Ticketmaster, one from Team Jonas) telling me that my Jonas Brothers show for next month has been cancelled. Alright. I'm not crying. I am mad. and confused....and well, just really really disappointed. For any one that knows me, you know how much this means to me. If you don't know how much this means to me and you're thinking, oh come on, get over it, well then you don't really know me.
Here is what the Team Jonas email said as the reason...

"Every year we have been able to visit new cities and fans, and this year is no different. As you may have heard there are some changes that have been made to the routing of the tour that now includes European and Central and South American dates. As part of our effort to bring the best concert experience to you, we've had to reorganize some of the North American tour dates. If we're missing your city, please know that we love you and we will be back soon. If any of the changes have inconvenienced you in any way we are truly sorry. However, we wanted to take the time to let you know how excited we are to see as many of you as possible on this tour. "

and by some...let me clarify...they cancelled 20 shows! Everyone in the Jonas world is like "oh, don't be mad at them, its not their fault"
Well, I'm sorry that you're 14 and haven't hit it yet, but in the real world, if your team messes up that means that you have messed up and while this may not be their fault directly, it is their fault as a musical group, as a business. Basically what it comes down to is money. Now take for that what you will...i'm not really sure what I think of it. Well, actually its discussing, if you say you're making music because you love it and because you love your fans...maybe its more about money that we'd like to think. But maybe its not about money...oh whatever, I don't want to rant, I just wanted to vent.

One more thing, how do I tell my 11 year old cousin that the show is cancelled and she won't get to see the Camp Rock tour? Maybe she'll cry. and cry. Just like I did when I was 11. I better warn her now to be careful with concerts when she turns 21.
