I wasn't kidding when I said I was gonna write a letter to the main Voodoo Fest person. I sent him an e-mail asking him to give us Voodoo Fest back.
Here's what I typed:
The music lovers of New Orleans thank you for bringing Voodoo Fest back to its hometown, but we are a little upset about it being "invitation only". Voodoo was the one thing I was looking forward to this year. My friends and I were very excited about the lineup: My Chemical Romance, Billy Idol, H.I.M, three of our favorite performers that we've never seen live before. When Katrina hit, we expected Voodoo to be even more special this year, because it would make us forget our troubles. Now that we've learned it's "invitation only", our hope has been lost. I don't mean to sound like a bratty teenager, but please, let the people of New Orleans have some fun this year. It would give us something to do besides look at all the damage, destruction, and sadness around us.
Give us back Voodoo please, Jenn
I think if enough people e-mail him or her about it, they'll reconsider. If not, I've got an account at petitionspot.com and we can start a petition.
I'm not going to miss this concert.

-sighs- Well, I got an e-mail back. Dear All,
We wanted to let you know that we have received and read your e-mails pertaining to the situation with the Voodoo Music Experience (VMX). It is an interesting situation for everyone in all facets without question. We are respecting officials requests to hold the one day Tribute show in New Orleans as I hope everyone can understand the reasons for doing so.
With that being said, we are going to make best efforts to allow entrance understanding that all of you have dedicated yourself to the vital relief and recovery. Please allow us several more days to work through the Tribute tickets with the 100's of entities that are on the list.
Also, please visit www.ticketmaster.com if you originally held tickets and then refunded them. I will be back to you by the first part of next week. Take care and thanks in advance for your patience.
DanUrrrrrrrrggggggg!!! What does it mean?!?!?! I'm still not sure!!!!!!!

I know! It's not fair!!! I'm not worried though, I have a plan.
I'm gonna try to sneak in, and if they catch me, I'm gonna scream like hell and yell for Gerard and Ville and hope they let me stay.
That ought to work!
