And who knew this was a thing?…………”We also wanted to open some access to the public because our visitors, particularly media, greatly value spending time getting to know the people who live here.” This sounds crazy….all anyone needs to do is move around a bit…..there are “people who live here” everywhere. There’s no need to do a round up…..corral the residents so the press can meet them……weird.

Who is the current local audience for Rev. Run? Run D MC was everything in the 80s but was Doug E Fresh not asked to come or will that be the weekend after?

I was just telling some friends that we will be hearing about mid to low level “urban” entertainment coming here for the next few weeks. It warms my heart to know I was on to something.

This is funny and slightly sad……who helps to choose the entertainment? Where is the entertainment that seems to more genuinely appeal to this crowd? I know that may chafe some but let’s be honest here Rev. Run LOL….but I’ll be there because AC and all things related are important to me. JUST SO YOU KNOW I will be wearing MY ADIDAS…..LOL

Boy was the officials in the Bay Area glad to see the back of this non event ! It generated zero profit ! I fully expect the same results for Bermuda , although I expect someone who is currently collecting big rent money to challange .
They might have a point , but where’s the beef for the return investment for the government layout … No import duty …. No nothing !

Bermuda got the rights in a complex deal that included building an America’s Cup village in the Royal Dockyard which is better known as a port for cruise ships. In 2014, Coutts was not happy with American bids and Bermuda was dealing with a long recession and had seen tourism fall off so there was a deal that could be made. The Bermudan government has decided to follow an America sports practice. Stimulate the local economy by building a sports facility and that will serve as an economic stimulant for some city. It is a failed U. S. public policy but Bermuda leaders think having a high-end sporting event that attracts people with a lot of disposable income will fix a downward trend in tourism because those folks will return to the British territory long after the event is gone. Tourism will get back to prior levels. Then there is the Royal Dock/King Wharf itself. After the six America’s Cup teams leave, Bermudian officials are convinced that they will turn the facility into a viable business area. The odds are against that happening are great.

Having said that, it’s pricey for an act that A. hasn’t had a hit in years and B. is more of reality TV star these days than an actual musician.
