My opinion of the group as a whole is little different. I have spent time with them at various shows (i've been to 5). Had a blast with Serena and Cat in Knoxville.... Had a blast with Stacey and Corinne in Tulsa for the AI tour.... I don't hate anyone, i just didn't like what happened in Macomb.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting to a venue at 0600 and getting in line and expecting front row. If this group does that every day, more power to them. Why should they be punished for that? I spied with my own little eyes the whole group there bright and early as we all took turns holding each others spots in line at macomb. What happened at other concerts i have no first hand knowledge of. At Valpo the rest of their group was told by the line nazi to get to the back of the line, so there was no chance of them cutting in line. Hell, i would have given a spot to Stacey as she is/was a friend of mine.
Anywho - my bad experience was posted, and im sure you have all read it... or ignored it... or whatever. I called these girls my friends, and i can honestly say that really only one person was the culprit... the others just followed. Im not going to rehash that incident here, what is done is done, and with Serena saying "it never happened" i guess you'll just have to believe what you want to believe.
My contribution to this blog is this - You have MANY people on both sides of the fence. It's a battle of who can yell the loudest. Everyone is going to have different experiences and opinions about it all. BUT - you need to respect each others thoughts and opinions on both sides of the fence.
I had a bad experience, yes - but i dealt with it in my own way. I only posted about it because im sure you all read the rumors and stories being posted and twittered before my post. There were some really far fetched things being said. i posted to set the story straight. I said nothing on my site i didn't say directly to Serena, Corrine, Stacey and Shauna.
Respect each other is all i ask, and mayyyyyyyyyyyyybe there are two sides, and one side is not always right. Maybe there actually is a GRAY area where this group is concerned.
