  Being that I'm in High School I'd never be able to make it from 
Johnstown, PA to NYC for that. Being under 21, I may not even be able to 
get in! :)  I think it's a wonderful idea though.  $150 is a very fair 
price for admission.  Concert only ticks are also a good deal at $50.  
If it was a great success and one came closer to my way, I'd be sure to 
get to it.

   Good idea here too.  I'd try to go for the whole $100 bit, as it 
sounds very cool.

   Is JAE directly involved in it?   Just wondering.


   As far as interest off the list goes, I'd really imagine that most 
heavy Who fans would be greatly interested.  I can't see why not.  I have 
a friend here at school who would kill to see PT, RD, or JAE live.  He'd 
do even worse to hang out with one of them.  Me too.  I'd also imagine 
that anyone with an interest in Who- style music would want to at least 
go to the concert.

   Well, there's my $0.02!
