*BP

just wanted to update, because fair is fair. i wrote that letter the other day when i was a little sore.

not only did jv write me back, but bruce just called. i shit you not. my work number was on the letterhead of the letter i wrote. im pretty floored. i never expected any kind of response, much less something like that.

he says hes sorry it happened, he could tell by my letter is was a real fan so he wanted to call, says that he doesnt really want to get into what happened, but that theres sometimes a lot of tension between the “yuppies” and the “hippies” and that theres even been fights. asked me if i was behind the stage during the show, and said he remembered me. i told him how i was a little sore over the whole thing, but was impressed that he would bother to call, he said he hoped i would keep coming, and i told him that id be front and center unless i get thrown out again, lol.

just wanted to give props. this pretty much confirms why i love this band so much … always felt they really care about their fans, and it shows by the way they play. this call was a pretty good confirmation. call was totally unnecessary, but real genuine. and since i had started this thread complaining, i thought it only fair that i let you all know about this.

LOL. i actually do own one of those shirts. but probably wont wear it tonight. might go BP stealie, though.

i also think i should mention that i wrote a polite letter addressing my concerns, and sent it to management, bruce fan mail and jv.

believe it or not, jv just emailed me back with a personal note, saying hed investigate it, he was sorry it happened, that hed guest list me next time they were in town, etc. that pretty much affirms right there why this is my favorite band, and why ive always felt they really care about their fans. props to the NM’ers! that was a really genuine thing to do.
