Thnx guys, it's all about spreading the word about Haley (and Keith). Pure talent, and such genuine people combined with hard work and dedication, they deserve... no, we and the world deserve to hear them.
So much cookie cutter and vapid personalities nowadays, the quality people like Haley and Keith bring is irrisistable and needs to be shared.
(Still wish I could record, even now, the memories are fading into dreams...dam my willingness to lose a few brain cells in my youth, but when you have to listen to the constant over thinking in my head...maybe I thought I could spare a few LOL
)
I see on Twitter that my question to Haley about her visiting the UK because I'll be in France and want to see her in England has morphed into
Quote:oh cool is she writing with some French songwriters or whut haha
The game of "Telephone" has evolved into the 21st century LOL
(the Telephone game is kind of a way to explain how facts and details change when being passed on...the more times the info gets passed on, the more the facts change until at the end, the resulting info doesn't resemble the original message)
I think Himm2 is right that getting a Haley performance through her booking agent (and don't forget, she is under contract which is possibly limiting as far as where/when and what she performs) is unlikely...think about the resources that's probably available to my hosts last night, and even then, it took 4 months, so gathering a collection' (in addition to the travel and lodging) is unrealistic.
As much of a people person Haley is, it is still 'business' and there are things beyond our/her control and outside of our understanding of how things work...
Add to that, organising it freely, on the internet, there is no possible way we can determine the number of people that want to come, not to mention that all (30? 100? 200?...etc) attendees would want their own time with Haley. And that will all be on Haley, it would be on her to meet and greet every single one of them...on her time.... (how long and exhausting would that take?)
Everyone will have their expectation of how much time they 'deserve' with Haley, after all they spent the effort and money to get there, right?
So some kind of control has to be in place (security) if you want to look at it, realistically... It may be fun and no big deal for us, but for Haley? as much as she loves her fans? With an unknown number of attendees? A pretty daunting and probably exhausting potential.
I don't want to discourage a HF gathering (with the potential of attendance by Haley and her family), but if this has ANY possibillity of occuring, it would be a disservice to all involved, to not look at it on a more 'realistic' level.
I think Himm2 is on the right track about having it occur during some other type of event so that there can be other entertainment for antendees to enjoy, so that the HF gathenig isn't the sole and only reason to go (making expectations higher).... and if Haley and her Family are OK with spending the necessary time to meet all who come, we might have to forego a performance. (a performance coupled with meet and greet and mingle wold take a bunch of time)
We would want this to be a fun event for the Reinharts too, and not a duty.
All JMO, take it how you want, but in this day and age of far reaching social media, many of these things, if not more, should be taken into account.
