I received this email a few weeks ago from AEG Live, and just a few days ago now from Bon Jovi directly (well not THEM, their management! :P)

They're asking a slew of questions about your preferences as a fan, from price ranges for tickets and merchandise to your view on fan club perks, the upcoming greatest hits album, and more. When I first took it, there were different questions than the recent one I just finished taking, so that confuses me a bit...but regardless, I think it's important to give them your opinions.

Now is the perfect opportunity to show them what we think and how we feel about the good, the bad, and the ugly surrounding the management and business of the band.

Who knows, if they really listen to our voices, maybe next tour will actually be for the working man...?

If you didn't receive the email, you can take the survey here. (And it doesn't collect personal data except for your IP address of course, so you can take it multiple times with different browsers/computers if you feel strongly enough!)

O2 Dome #10 (sorry for the delay)

UGH, sorry for being so late...my laptop went POOF the other day and the screen decided it didn't want to live anymore. So I've been pawning off my sister's computer for the weekend (thank GOD she let me lol), and I'm only now getting to update my blog. So I'm sorry for the post-fact news.

The last few O2 Dome nights were INSANE, I heard...the setlists were to die for! I am officially green with jealousy of those who got to witness these fabulous shows, and I truly hope you all had an amazing time. You'll certainly never forget them!!

And to the band -- thank you for finally pulling things from your vault, dusting them off, and playing them -- it's what we WANT and have been ASKING FOR! You totally came through for the Brit shows, and I just hope you don't fall back on plain ol' vanilla for us in the States. Because we Americans love the old stuff too, you know!! :)

Anyway, take a gander at these gems - WOW:
