BAG II deserved a better end than that.Dean Mindermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849119270850790787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12394500.post-21741580651482532952008-12-30T14:41:00.000-06:002008-12-30T14:41:00.000-06:00What Happened: The people that normally open up th...What Happened: The people that normally open up the venue for BAG were nowhere around. I have not heard what the reason for this was, but when I was there early with the participants it was locked and there was no way in. It was very sad to see this performance cancelled in such a way. If you came and were disappointed, imagine how disappointed the artists were.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037261980651421039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12394500.post-37558757961738973192008-12-30T01:59:00.000-06:002008-12-30T01:59:00.000-06:00I'm sorry to hear that, Tony.

It's hard to say what may have happened, but perhaps someone in the know will chime in here...Dean Mindermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849119270850790787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12394500.post-80462388539391048642008-12-28T20:28:00.000-06:002008-12-28T20:28:00.000-06:00wow, we showed up at around 8 and everything was c...wow, we showed up at around 8 and everything was closed.Tony Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786913584237340754noreply@blogger.com
