>>>Here's the shitkicker.Yeah,that's why some of her
bloggers have already booked flights.Man oh man what 
a "clique" going on over there.

Sorry Delbut and Keets,I'm trying...I'm really
trying.<<<<



Delbut replied:
>>>No worries. I think maybe because Keets and I have
been blogging there for so long, we have seen a slight
change recently<<<<

I've been there from day one.The only change I have seen
has been in the happy-go-lucky attitude Rachel had in the
early days so to speak.




 >>>>>Up until before the Who tour was
announced, bloggers were treated as part of the
"family" as it were. Lots of interaction etc. Since
the Who tour was announced -especially the American
half -"bloggers" have appeared out of the...ether,
shall we say. I may be well off track here, but adding
1&1, i think that a lot of the new "bloggers" are
there for an inside to Pete/Who stuff and Rachel is
aware of that<<<<<

Well then why did she offer up to the first 75 bloggers a crack at tix
only to recant the next day.Wasn't she well aware of the Pete
factor from the get-go?Of course she was,so I don't "get it".
Since I dont "get it" I guess that solidifies me as definitely
NOT in the "clique" scheme of things.I think her next post
about a pre-sale link is sort of a smoke screen.I have a
suspicion that "certain" ass-kissing bloggers already have 
tickets in their mailbox.Nothing wrong with that but I was
not the kind of blogger that told Rachel her shit didn't stink
day after day after day.I told her like it was and so I'll probably
be shut out because of that.Come to think of it, I think that
you've been pretty darn straight forward to Rachel,Delbut.
I've always liked that brute honesty from you.Are you taking
the flight overseas?




<<<<< Therefore, as this is more a Rachel
show, she could have said, only those who have been
blogging since, (insert date here)but that would seem
more "clique", dont you think? AS it stands now, for
such a small venue, she is shying away from "clique"
and letting it be, first come-first served?<<<<<

Well,having said that,on the surface it does appear
that she's using the first come-first served method
but the reality is,based on personal emails to me,
she is taking care of some "personal favourite"
bloggers already.Hey,I guess there's nothing 
wrong with that,it's her gig and her right.




>>>>I think if i were an American blogger of long standing,
 i would be pretty pissed if a "newbie" got in before me -just
 to get a glimps of Pete.But i think that will happen<<<<<



I don't mind at all as long as the "newbie" didn't get
in just for kissing butt.



>>>For those of you who do. Sit back and (try to) enjoy
it.Should be fun<<<<


Oh there's no doubt it will be great fun,no two ways about it!!:)
