Did those nasty SuicideGirls cancel their Miami burlesque show?
I promised 10 people I’d take them to the gig, but today when I go to buy tickets, I see they removed the performance that was supposed to take place next Sunday from their Tour Schedule.
I don’t understand, what’s Miami coming to? They’ll play friggin’ Tallahassee, but they won’t play here.
Do performers think Miami sucks? Is there a sign on our back that says, “Keep Away! This Place Stinks”?
Okay, I can understand why that lame, one-ring French Canadian circus decided to pass on the Gleason - because of the high ticket prices and the general lack of interest, but what does it say about Miami, Florida when the SuicideGirls cancel on us too?
I thought Miami was supposed to be a city that oozed sexiness. People call us: The American Riviera, The Sun and Fun Capital of the World. Please don’t tell me I’ve been misinformed.
Coincidentally, the Comments on my 10 Things I hate about Miami post have been very active lately. Lane Myer says:
“Miami used to be a great city. There used to be allot of rock bands rolling through, a lot of live music and other events. Now everything in Miami is dominated by cubans, latin music, ghetto rap music, spanish billboards, spanish adverts on buses, spanish everywhere!!!! not to mention brutally bad customer service virtually everywhere.”
With so many hostile remarks about Miami, I am fearful performers will start to think we are totally lame.
The “Miami Vice” movie flop didn’t help our reputation any.
It’s time to write an article that highlights some of the nicer things our City has to offer.
Otherwise, I’ll be forced to start buying tickets to the Carnival Center, and chamber music really isn’t my bag.
Stay tuned!
