diarra 10-29-07, - 11:35 AM b/c they didn't say it's for those that have money. they said it's not for Bahamians. that's why i'm upset. what kind of crap is that? besides....alicia never took her butt up to Toronto until AFTER i left. lol.
tell me it's private/exclusive and leave it at that. but do NOT tell me that i can't come b/c i'm a bahamian.....when ur making money in MY country.
oh they wanna be frowsy with it like that hey! Well in that case...... if you need backup lemme know. I ga be in town for the Jah Cure concert anyway. That would be right around the corner.

You said in your first post "And this was basically the response...."That concert isn't for Bahamians......"
You said "basically" so it is not an exact quote? Perhaps they said "the general public?"

you're right.....they actually said: no locals/natives.
they also mentioned something about skin complexion....but I won't get into that.

Was this something they wrote down, like a press release? Or was it just over the phone?

Sweetums,
The color of money eliminates virtually all boundaries.
If you were "balling", your "people" could have called Alicia's "people" and made sure that when you stepped up in the place you got VIP treatment.
To further that, on a different approach, your "people" would have been able to call up the Cove and declare that you were staying there this weekend and would like to attend any and all concerts taking place on their premises.
To take this little fantasy even further, if you were rolling in da dough, you would have been able to fly in with Alicia, 'cause she is such a good friend of yours.
Can you see it now? Alicia steps up to the mic and says "This first song is dedicated to my good friend LL cool G, keep on doing what you're doing girlfriend...No one can ever keep you down"

lol. you're funny. me & mariah are cool like that. lol. even though i've lost interest in this particular concert......this is definitely something i'm gonna continue to speak out about. like i told a few of my coworkers/friends....it's one thing for them to say "the ticket's $400" (knowing it's out of the range for most people) but don't tell me i can't come b/c i'm Bahamian.

That is exactly right... They did not single out Bahamians, they said GENERAL PUBLIC. Bear in mind the general public does include a lot of their own guests!!! Like I said no big surprise, they do this all the time...

no sweetie....i'm telling you what i heard. now if that's not what he meant to say, then that's a different story. but i'll say this much: general public sounds ALOT better than saying "no locals". hell, even if he said "only guests of the hotel"....or whatever. but, it's all good. i think that's what is really going on. it's a concert for hotel guests. and i'm somewhat okay with that.
Sunnyjohn 10-29-07, - 01:04 PM Atlantis does this all the time.
I gues because they don't know I am Bahamian, I get invites for our "group" all the time.
Remember when they had the last big opening? Everyone who was anyone was on PI. ('cept for me LOL!)
I wit Yorick on dis one! Rich young Bahamians (with class, not dat wild set) needs to bum rush Hollywood on a MOT blitz!
...and it would take billions to renovate Bay Street because the 'ijits' that own it ein ga let up of dat property 'til Jesus come wit a sack of money!:gi:

No sweetie u can hear all u want to!!! You are trying to spread propaganda... If u want to be properly told... call the vp in charge... Stop lying... or listening to the staff who are angry just because they cannot go!!!! It really upsets me when people will just go on the idle words of others... Do some investigative reporting and stop spreading rumors!!! :cutie:
Trust me I know a lot more about this than u think!!! Kerzner has these ALL THE TIME!!!!!
LL Cool G 10-29-07, - 01:24 PM Come on don't spread propaganda... there was no mention of skin color... If u ga quote da people please quote correctly!!!!!:cutie:
miss exotic one.........i don't have time (or the interest) for propaganda. i spoke to the gentleman on three-way. and i can assure you that YOU were not the 3rd party involved in the convo. he made a comment about the other person's (3rd party's) skin colour being the "darkest allowed". and she ain't that dark. some people actually mistake her as being white. but....like i said, he was probably being a sensationalist himself.
i now know what he MEANT to say.
