I also looked at Wikipedia. "primarily seeks out value stocks at companies it deems to be underperforming due to poor capital allocation" ain't that what you call locust capitalism?

Probably a good choice swiss, I'm guessing your best bet for some Keith time is through Jane Rose anyway...timing is everything. Good luck.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is curious at bv's absence throughout this news and event. Either he's already en route to Ohio, he's scrambling to secure his place at Belly Up or he's decided that private is private and he's not going to even try for this one.

peace

I can just hear Mrs. W now, the wife of the wealthy Mr. W:

"Dear, that was such an incredibly sweet gesture, hiring Macca to surprise me on my 50th birthday.
But, you know what? If you ever throw a party like that again, I'd much rather hear The Rolling Stones."

Hope bv is well and just enjoying the tour. One way to flush him out is start a dreaded political or food discussion. Just kidding. bv, we are all enjoying the site, thanks for your hard work in enabling us to talk about our favorite band.

The wife he hired Macca for his history. This one is for his new wife.

It is about an hour to go until I land. I am starting to tremble with excitement. I will stay on for a couple more minutes and then I have no idea. I will try to at least post to say if I'm getting in.

On a whole other subject, how can tomorrow be another one? This is the stuff of my dreams. I promise if there is going to be a show tomorrow I will do everything in my power to be there.

This is a white knuckle thrill ride.

The bottom line is this...Thanks to all the Stones fans who have cheered me on. The real thanks goes to ROKYFAN he broke it on IORR. I wish he would have taken me seriously. If I tell you I will take you to a Stones show. Count on it!!!!

And he's (appropriately) paying twice as much. She must be a great cook!

I hope bv is also attending this private event...

I don't think so though.. as I believe he has already left town.. but anything is possible (there was someone near the front of the line in the news clip that looked like him).

The last one may have thought "cooking" and "@#$%&" were two cities in China.

TO Only Stones...be sure to stay in the new, five star resort, just east of Del Mar off hwy 56, tonight. Also, go jogging or 'act like you are', at 630am. This is what I saw the lead singer doing in 2005.
There is most likely another private show, at a home, in Rancho Santa Fe, tomorrow night. The man tonight was just with HP..if you known anyone there. Also, he does Charity for McDonald House.

I just read this entire thread and - WOW - exciting stuff!!! Best of luck to onlystones tonight

She wanted U2 but he's doing it because the ex-wife wanted the Stones.

This is a NEW wife!

So Keith's 'bus' is their backstage lounge...

I called the Belly Up again, asked if they were hiring, and said I could start tonight, would take the worst job, for no pay. At least she chuckled before she said goodbye.
I also asked what the charity is, maybe I've donated to it, but no answer there.

lol that's great. maybe at least you're getting some of the employees thinking about ways they could make some $$ sneaking some fans in.

Good idea Likecats. Come to think of it, I would also apply for the worst job on the Stones entourage (like taking care of Keefs ashtray or keeping private shows under the carpet) without pay.

I will also post where I am every second of the time I am there. As well as which pocket I have my wallet in. No personal details. Too many crazies. I will tell about the experience. Its going to be awesome.

That said, I posted that I stayed in BH where they fell for the banana in the tail pipe trick when I went to LA.

When I go to SD I generally stay in LJ.

Last post until??? I can hardly breathe. "OH boy this is great" (Flounder Animal House).

Please guys don't spoil it for anyone who may be trying to go. A lot of people follow IORR.

I will do everything I can to give any info I can. I am only bringing my phone. I was told that I had to give that up at the venue. I will try. I will definitely say something when I can.

Any chance you can spell it out plainly for those of us here in SD? They're staying at the Grand Del Mar?

:-) It's true I was both at Deutsche Bank and Mogador but I am definitely not going tonight. The main reason is because I am back in London following the Fonda and Petco Park (you can't be in if you don't even try) but the second reason it is a personal private party not a corporate one. Both Deutsche Bank and Mogador were corporate events, it's probably just a little too far to crash someones Birthday.

I am not denying my heart is racing a little, and part of me wishes I had given it more of a go. I certainly did some of the ground work, look up all possible connections, I even managed to meet the person controlling the invitations while at the Petco show. Something just didn't feel right.

I have told bits of the Deutsche Bank story before and one day I will tell it in full. However, the primary reason I got into that show and didn't feel bad about it was the principle organiser was rude to me and my fellow musketeer when all we had done was make a polite request. I totally respected being turned down but there was no need to be disrespectful or rude to us. Ironically the conference for which the Stones were entertainment was all themed around passion. Perhaps they should have got me to be the key note speaker. It was an epic adventure or James Bond proportions including multiple costume changes, countless close shaves and hiding in a very uncomfortable place with no refills on our champagne!

Mogador was different, I am forever in debt to the nicest, most considerate man you will ever meet. A true and great gentleman and Stones fan. Not only was I in, not only did I have the top grade wristband and access to fabulous hospitality I enjoyed the show with my hero from the very best two seats in the house. There were other ways in too though and my partner in crime from Deutsche Bank made it in as well. Clearly private shows are a few notches of difficulty up on getting into a regular club show but some of those are brutally hard too. The key is never to give up, that has so often worked for so many people and it's a lesson me and my Deutsche Bank busting buddy first learnt together at Roseland where we got in without any pre-purchased ticket, another great story to be told...

Cat's out of the bag now Stones fans:

"It is a private concert

A millionaire is throwing a party for his wife

He paid 2 million bucks to have the rolling stones play for his wife

They are performing Their Satanic Majesties Request in its entirety. Just as Mick hinted at the club show in LA.

I am going to columbus on Saturday and like the idea of this. This gives them another chance to work any kinks out they experienced on opening night. I think they will play tighter as a result Saturday? Previously, they had all week to sit around not playing, now they will play another "practice" session in a small club. I am more excited now for the columbus show.

Thougts? Am I crazy for thinking this way ?

Got tix for Columbus too Piper, & was thinking the same thing!

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

onlystones you are a champion. Hoping you get to be 3/3 so far.

Are you doing the rest of the tour? I'll be at every other show this tour, but unfortunately can't say 'I went to every show this tour'

I've heard from 71Tele that food discussions are not allowed but I'm still somewhat puzzled by that one. Do food discussions cause bad blood here? Nothing about it on the policy page. Please advise. Thanks.

Maybe Keef is fearful a discussion of cheese will happen.

GAFF, thanks for being the first to remind me, it's the new wife. The other one would be 62 by now, huh.

NL, that is hilarious, that the new spouse wanted U2 but he got the RS because the previous wife
wanted them.

Matty, wow, never give up, you didn't.
