Beebs & Her Moneymakers. They're *fun*. -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 07:18
Some of these are very incorrect, and way overstated (my friend books at a venue in DC). -- nm - MDH May 22, 07:15 4
- That said, for every one that's overstated, there's the 1 that is $2M understated (Madonna). -- nm - MDH May 22, 07:15 3
  - I think the highest they show is 1 million+ so I think that many of them could be 3-5 million. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 07:28 2
    - Plus, who would pay that for Madonna? I'd pay $1,000 to never hear from her again. -- nm - JaxSean May 22, 07:44 1
      - Send me $1k and I will make that happen. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 22, 07:47
Fitz for $30k-50k is a definite steal. Though, Googol Bordello would be an intensely fun show. -- nm - spamlet May 22, 06:54
Green Day $500k, Justin Bieber $1M - amoxy May 22, 06:42
The Trews for $3-$5k is a steal. Fantastic band -- nm - Beaker May 22, 06:32

- I struggled with the last list. The 10-20 list though, I could make some noise with starting with De La Soul. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:36 3
  - With that section I could put together a decent festival. Rakim, De La Soul, Biz Markie, Clipse, Everlast and Asher Roth. - Krusty May 22, 06:41 2
    - Can't you just call up Everlast now? - spamlet May 22, 06:56 1
      - I met his old partner, Danny Boy. Close. I've met and hung out with Danny Boy a few times now, nicest guy. - Krusty May 22, 07:07
Heck, at those prices, I may hire Dirty Heads to play my birthday party. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:29
