I'm not sure if it's tribal or not, but those wristbands during GNT allowed me to meet many wonderful people from this forum--people with whom I still share rides, rooms, meals, etc. Some folks will be newbies at these concerts, and I want to give them a chance to connect. Obviously, this is totally voluntary. It is helpful to me to be able to see at a glance if someone is from the board, especially if they look familiar and I can't remember their "real life" name. So, 1/2 inch to 1 inch wide DAY-GLO green one loop lapel ribbons it is for those who choose to participate, which I hope many will.Looking forward to seeing ATOP "friends" and meet new toppers this summer. Green ribbon is great - I can probably concoct something at home, but looking for a DAY-GLO thingy of specific width is too much for me frankly... Can we simplify and just go for any green ribbon? |

Maybe I can't read but where did you see the percentage that goes to the artist? theosgma The following paragraph from the "rockandrollguru" article makes a general statement about it. I've been reading quite a few articles the past couple days though, and I know there was more specific info about percentages the artists receive in other articles. Something in the 75% and up neighborhood. I will see if I can find those other articles. Below is a breakdown of who gets paid for putting on a concert. The band (or entertainer) takes a majority of the money, and rightfully so. They are the talent. They should be paid for entertaining us. However, there are many other people involved in producing a concert. They get paid as well. And that money all comes out of the sale of tickets. |

Nica, sure thing. I just suggested size for OCD folks, so people don't feel they have to wear a Miss America sash or green bow-tie. I suggested Day-glo for ease of recognition. Another benefit, people will ask about the ribbons and it's a nice way to introduce them to Adamtopia.
So just a loop people, and we'll find each other. Buders, squeeing (discreetly?) is part of the joy.

so people don't feel they have to wear a Miss America sash or green bow-tie. Oh man, don't give people ideas! LOL. I've only met a few folks in RL but everyone has always been super kind. I wish I could be more of a concierge for out of town folks who are coming in for MSG but have to work. Hmm, will think of suggestions and put them in the MSG member concert thread. |

Amazon.com is my friend. Type "lime green ribbon" in the search field and you will find lots of choices.
