Euphor(b)ia

I made the biggest mistake of my life when last week I bought tickets to the Euphoria show yesterday organized by IFIM(Institute of Finance and International Management… whatever International management is supposed to mean). The show was supposed to be gin at 5:30, so I was there at 3:45 and very happy to be early coz I had the seats that I wanted… all was well till a usher comes and tells me that we will have to remain outside till the soundchecks are done. I have been to a lot of live shows and rock shows of many a better bands and never has such a stupid excuse been given to drive people out of the venue.
This was not the end of the story as then people were asked to stand right outside the grounds. At around 6:00 we were told we can enter the ground but not the venue since the sound check was still going on. Then there we were standing like fools till 7:30 when they finally let us in and the show finally took off at 8:00
My thoughts:
What sort of a management school is this when they cannot even decently manage a show by some not so big band and where the crowd was so little that the organizers were more than the crowd?
What sort of a sissy band wants to do the sound check by keeping the audience out. If they have such performance issues(pun intended), they should see a shrink or try out something.
Then to top up matters, the band had no material of their own and decided to murder  songs like ‘With or Without you’ by U2 etc.
By and large the worst show I have ever attended in my life… I mean I have attended free shows that were better organized than this gimmick put up by IFIM and the event management group who call themselves Cosmic Meltdown Crew.
