$2k and you don't even get to meet him!
Although I have got to imagine the Eclectic Selection of Hors D 'Oeuvres makes it all worth it
thank god they threw in the matching Lanyard, otherwise I'd be screaming foul!

When you think about it, does he seem like someone you'd actually *want* to meet? He's never struck me as the nicest or most charming person in the world, or even particularly interesting.

Then again, you were willing to meet Space Freely, so maybe your standards are lower than mine and/or you're more outgoing/social than me.

seems very JA…so not really approiate
now sending him to the Gathering of the Juggalos festival Aug. 19-21 in Thornville, Ohio seems like a much better on the content side

These VIP things are such cash grabs…. You don’t get to meet the guy, no pictures with Elton, you don’t get to be at sound check and you don’t even get an autograph which are the sorts of perks Vip packages used to have when they hit the market

Let’s say you get a good seat…what’s that worth? $500?!? So for $1500 you get a drink of crummy champagne, some reheated food and a bag of junk trinkets made in China?

But evidently there is a market (ie, suckers) for this shit as every major music act seems to be offering then

I saw that… for me lithographs have no value..it’s not a signed item. It’s basically a poster.

For $1,500, you can get the VIP experience, but without the Welcome Letter, the Chair, the beer or the hors d'ouvres.

It seems to me the winning move is to buy Julian the $2,000 package and get him to consume $500 worth of beer and food!  We've got an hour to figure this out!

I am trying to think what kind of VIP I would even pay for…..

I guess if you told me I could hang out backstage after the show with Bernard Sumner, Gillian and Morris I would probably pay $500 including ticket..I would get them to sign my copy of Technique which Peter Hook signed outside the 930 (thanks That Guy who I know told Hook there were a few of us out there hoping to say hi)…this VIP experience will never be offered

My partner when she was a teen was a huge huge Robert Smith and the Cure fan and i guess that something that included hanging out with Robert Smith would be a nice present for her…this is of course never going to be offered

That’s kind of it… the idea of meeting someone like Bob Dylan by paying money is beyond laughable..

what does 'Based Upon Original EJ Artwork' actually mean
I would have thought it's a Litho of his orignal art…but based on, do that mean some other person copied his stuff and that's what they are giving you?

I've changed my mind…the next redneck rave is where I want him to go
Just need to make sure he has proper throat protection
