There is a petition floating around myspace to get the guys to do a "ball" type event, like they are for the L.A. show, on the east side of the US... here's my $.02

i'm sorry, but this is a really stupid idea. if you want to go to the ball, then you get the money and go. you don't petition and beg and try to force them to do it. you show them how bad you want to see them by going to L.A. for their last show of the tour. all bands do something cool on the last date of their tour that they don't do for the other dates and if you want to be part of that then you need to get the $ and go.

don't have the money? too bad! If you want to go bad enough you'll find the money, lots of people have. Jezus, when did 30 fans become so fucking whiney and complain so damn much? If you want to go to the show, ROAD TRIP the way 30 fans have been doing since the beginning.

i can't either, but i did back in December, the last show of last year. it's not too badly expensive, find people to room with, and people to pick you up from the airport. meet up, lots of people, from lots of states, do it every show!

EXACTLY! Luckily, all my friends have signed it so I don't see it popping up in my bullitens anymore.

If you want a ball so bad, then join in on Amanda's project (which will actually get to the guys, and you can still dress up in blood) . Don't bitch and moan on Myspace.

It's not that easy for some of these kids. If they want to make a petition let them...like i said..it's not hurting anyone! Some people have obligations and can't run to LA to a ball. Thats ludicrous.

Seriously, as much as I want to go too, I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it that I can't. Just suck it up and deal with it.

I find that petition to be rude myself. I mean, the guys planned the ball in LA for a reason and signing a petition is not going to make them want to have a ball on the east coast or anywhere else. Honestly, no matter where they decide to hold these 'special echelon events,' someone will complain.

Ahhh I remember my "Petition to Release the Unreleased" thread. I got about 100 of you all to sign the damn thing, too. Looking back, it was pretty pointless (apart from reinstating the idea that we believe that there are probably some damn good tracks that will never be heard). I don't believe that I have ever heard of an online (and especially MYSPACE) petition having any effect...

If people want to waste their time and energy making a petition, I say let them... its just not going to work and who is it going to harm? I don't think the band will be offended- I'm sure they have enough things to think about other than a stupid myspace petition. I don't think the petitioners are "rude", I mean- they have the right to voice their opinions as much as the band has the right to make the ball wherever the hell they choose. Fans are allowed to express their unsatistfaction. To me, that is not as "rude" as someone saying that 30stm fans "suck"... lol.

It's also ludicrous to suggest the band needs to have a similar event somewhere else, as the petition is doing.

Does anyone else realize that "chain mail"/this petition goes around 452456 times? Like there is not one standard one.

That's another thing I don't get about things like this on myspace. When somebody posts the petition its good, but then you have 16 of your friends repost it and you have 12741902365 different names on line number 23.
