I know most do not care, but I know theres a few heads on there that listen to this. I know there are some pissed off people right now who bought tickets to this show thinking BlackStar was going to do a show in DC. Guess Mr. Hollywood thought he did enough shows. Better luch next time.

Originally posted by angad:Being the person that owns the club and books the shows should count for something. If Seth says it's the case that Mos Def is performing, then that's good enough for me. Instead of looking for rumors on the internet like the rest of us, I expect Seth is talking to the people that matter directly.

Hahahahahaha what a riot of a thread!
Originally posted by angad:Bub, the owner of the venue just told you that Mos Def will be there. That's the best confirmation you're going to get on this board.

from the owner to gods ears.
we were talking to the tour organzers all week about who would be the best replacement…they were suggesting either Lauryn Hill or De La Soul
it was quite a topic of discussion…Lauryn would be the glamour way to go, but De La more the spirit of the show
there were very conflicting opinions as to which would stem the tide of refunds (which we would offer, of course)
a quick survey of our front line people (box office, etc) confirmed that there were 2 distinct types buying the tix…the Howard U's and the UMD's were the generalizations
ultimately we decided to go with De La Soul, drop the ticket price and give everyone some cash back on the way in that already bought tix…our thinking was that if people clamored for refunds, and we had to put tix back up, the college kids home for the Thanksgiving wknd were more likely to want to see a decent hip-hop night for a reasonable ticket, than a high priced Lauryn Hill show
so we were waiting for the confirmation of De La when the tour called to tell us that Mos Def is back…AND…Lauryn was so excited about getting out there again that she would still like to play…so we're actually trying now to figure out how to get her on, as well
so…let's have little WWJD discussion here…who would have been the best replacement, De La or Lauryn, and why?
try and play club owner here…the question is which would have caused the least stampede for refunds

man… i will find you in the club and give u the biggest hug if mos is there. i heard on the radio today – mos def's dj confirmed that hes not coming for the show supposedly.
also – i read a review of the ATL show last night and Pos from De La was there, but he only did like 4 tracks.
i would probably prefer de la over lauryn hill only if all 3 members of de la came, and not just Pos like in the ATL show… if only one member is gonna show up to replace mos, it should probably be Ms. Hill
are you saying its possible that mos is still coming and lauryn wants to do the show badly too ? that would make my thanksgiving break.
–btw seth, thanks for all the notice and attention.
