Stewart,
Once again. You rule. Except, um, you KNOW her name is Meg.
The smiting is cool (damn cool!) but I think you can do better.
(I know, I'm sorry, I've always gotta have more. Just a few SPM more.)
CAVEAT: I haven't read all of DM's post yet, 'cause it's long, and it's written in complete sentences, and it's subtle. So I don't know the entirely of what she thinks. She knows I love and support her.
Here's my .02.
I think it would be a damned shame if the flag were not in the "official vid". I mean, it's really the best fan story of the tour. How can it not be included? Seriously.
I think it's time for either Death Star, er, I mean UltraStar, or The Police, to pony up. Spread the love. We know you guys have got the cash after the year we just gave you.
I'm sure the nutters would love to be DVD stars.
I think they just need to get a cut of the cheese, know what I'm sayin'?
Maybe some ticket upgrades? Esp. at Jones Beach?
A meet and greet on your B-day?
Ooh, maybe Flights to Concord, CA for the lovelies on LiveNation's tab?
(Surely they can afford that. I mean, jeez, with the haul you've pulled in?)
Maybe some hotels, too?
CASH MONEY.
For DM and her posse.
But REALLY:
Submitted photos selected for inclusion should be awarded with cash:
$100 per photo is probably about right.
I think that's about what newspaper stringers get.
Find out what the wires or the NYTimes pay, and pay it.
Photographers also get copies of their work.
Photographers who have had their work included get 5 copies of the DVD.
The photographs are licensed only for the DVD.
That's it.
No UltraStar can use it however they want it bullshit.
And now, a final word about the smiting.
Please go easy on the mention of the smiting around Meg.
Her name is Meg.
And she likes smiting.
So stop it.
On second thought, don't stop it.
I'm reaping the benefits anyway.

[quote="STEWART"]ok oK OK!
I forgot all about the profit part; just thought you’d all like to be DVD stars. Well I nuked it; so you can all relax back into your lairs. C’mon Dirty, you enjoyed the little rush of outrage didn’t you? I love a good tirade myself whenever possible but I haven’t suffered any tangible injustice lately. On your behalf I took an imperious tone and informed my connection over there that they could NOT profit from your WORK. And you’ll be glad to know of the anguish that resulted. They were smote.
Who WAS that redhead at Honolulu? Was that Samburu?
