    One whose head is so far up their rear end it could pass for a hat; used to describe a person who is stubborn, cruel, or otherwise unpleasant to be around.

    always wondered what the heck that meant

    plenty of other NYers with some connections-no big deal in this town really.
    and when I get my ticket, I will also do a little chest pounding!

    see ya at the beacon!

    Ive put the feelers out to two board members regarding public tix, prices and of course any extra corporate seats (bought but not used)

    that will be one way to get in without paying the do ray mi

    and thats all I have to say about that.

    "Robinhood targets poverty in New York City by finding and funding the best and most effective programs and partnering with them to maximize results."

    34,000 people slept in NYC shelters last night. Nearly half of them are children.

    60 percent of young boys don’t graduate high school

    One third of women return to abusive partners because they can’t find housing

    50 percent of youth who age out of foster-care and end up homeless or in jail

    300,000 people receive soup kitchen or food pantry each week in NYC

    1 in 4 New Yorkers under 65 lacks health insurance

    40 percent of families live in poverty have a working head of household

    1 in 5 New Yorkers live in poverty.

    My plan is to wait outside the Beacon dressed as the 'Big Bad Wolf'.

    If they won't let me in, I'll huff, and I'll puff and then....

    I'll off grandma right there on the street.

    That has been very good to me in the past, and I suspect it will work this time-Ive never been shut out of any show benefit or otherwise.

    For those who don't know, the Robin Hood Foundation gives away millions of dollars to NYC area nonprofits every year. (I can't recall exactly, but I think its around $70-80 million?) Unlike many foundations, they are committed to giving away every dollar brought in as donations -- all "administrative expenses" for the Foundation are covered by board members.

    To raise this kind of amount cash every year, they hold events like these to bring in the dollars. In NYC, big ticket fundraising events go for high prices...its just the way it is. Some may argue that the band should just play a show at a large venue with lower prices and donate the proceeds to the Foundation, but quite frankly it will not bring in the amount that an exclusive event like this will. (Last time I saw figures, gross, not net revenue, for bands at MSG come in around $1-2 million.)

    NY PJ1 is right on...in NYC it really is about who you know. You have to know the right people to open the right doors. It sucks, but thats life in the Big Apple.

    I'm not a member of the Foundation, but from what I understand they've not yet gone "public" about the show yet and won't for another few weeks - hence the silence from PJ/10 Club.

    Robin Hood is an very interesting foundation - they aren't like most others, they are very business-like in their approach and focus on seeing "results". Hence their popularity with the Wall Street crowd here.

    This will be the show of the year. Hopefully it's at Radio City and Not the Beacon. Radio holds more people which means more of chance for me to get in. The Stones were awesome there in 06. Should be a blast.
