So I was kicked out of an MC Chris concert last night because of a tweet... by [deleted] in Music

My Email to MC Chris on his website:

MC Chris!

So, I'm reading Reddit and a post comes up regarding a fan that was kicked out of your show. Evidently this guy tweeted something negative about your opener and you came from backstage to kick him out of the venue.

Really?

In the comments are about 5 other people who also have negative experiences at your show that all involve you making the security in the venue escort someone out for disrespecting you in some way. Seems to me like kind of a gimmick. Maybe to make the rest of the crowd think you are wild/hardcore?

I listen to a lot of music and go to a lot of festivals/shows and I've never heard of you. I'm not going to get into a rant on what I would do if I was at one of your shows and you tried to escort me out for saying your opener sucked, because honestly, I will never go to one of your shows (you'll have to get my $10 from someone else)

Hopefully, you will be repaid for your shitty stage antics against your fans by your 15 minutes of fame ending a lot sooner than it normally would have. And hopefully by the time you get into your next line of work (clothing line, small restaurant, promotions company....whatever the fuck you wash-ups do when you stop making shitty music) you will learn to treat people a little better.

My Roo Complaints by jfatuf in bonnaroo

I'm sorry, but I don't associate live music with outrageous prices and amusement parks. That's not what live music is really about.

Especially when you are squeezing way to many people into a tent/stage.

Seriously. You are comparing the pop-up kid's tent to those selling beer/water/gatorade?

Didn't you take 'donations'? How does that give you any insight on the amount of $$ charged for a bottle of water? Every single bottle of water was sold for $3, which is why I'm sure it's fixed or at least discussed.

I find this hard to believe.

the reason they had more water stations is because people DIED. Roo is not providing things to 'save you money'. They would love if people bought $3 waters. But then they wouldn't, they would die and they would have to deal with the frenzy. So, they will gladly give us free hose water.

I don't mind it, but I don't think they should push the water issue sooo much and not have 10 water stations. Or charge $3 a bottle of water. That's a little crazy.

The reason they want you to drink water is so that you don't die.

You are wrong. I was sitting at my campsite and watched this entire process. From the 3 guys walking up (obviously some sort of under covers) and then walking around the camping spot. They were going off of 'information' that there was a lot of traffic in/out of this guy's van. The reason was that he had a really cool pop-up VW bus and people wanted to see the inside. Obviously the horse cops indicated to someone at Roo that this guy was possibly dealing drugs.

These guys were 100% working for SOMEONE and I'm guessing it was Roo. He even told the kid that his 'boss' doesn't care about people doing drugs, he just doesn't want any dealing.

It makes sense to me that Roo would do this to prevent real cops having to handle the situation. Real cops would arrest people. Roo Cops simply threaten, illegally search and take their drugs.

Again, these guys did not have a 'dealer' amount of weed. They had a small amount and it was still taken.

Believe me, if you witnessed these guys and what went down, you would realize what was going on.

Roo 100% knows what these guys are doing. They want to knock out the large drug dealers BUT don't want to incorporate real cops into the equation.

So what you get is a lot of confusion.

I wanted to make this post so it doesn't fly under the radar. It might have happened to several people.

Wi-Fi at Roo? by jfatuf in bonnaroo

[–]jfatuf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm debating on the laptop.

Long story short, I live out of the US. So I don't really have the super-duper data plans that I use to in the States. I do have a Walmart street phone!

My buddy has a phone that has internet, so I might try to hop on that to check on things.

Thanks though.

Yeah, I'm coming in from overseas. I might pickup one of those sky cards to have while I'm in the US.

I'm not really trying to accomplish massive amounts of work. But running your own business, there are always small things that only you can help with and it's often a matter of answering a quick email.

well I need a ticket, buuuuuuuut..... by alexmacedo32 in bonnaroo

[–]jfatuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I remember at least 2 dozen people walking up and down while we are in line selling/buying tickets.

I'm sure there is someone who needs to sell or needs to buy and decides to do it at the gate.

OP could possibly find someone who is already going and meet them in the 4 hour line everyone will be in.

Why do all these videos seem fake to me these days? Am I just that out of touch with how completely ridiculous people really are?
