I'm not just talking about the Springsteen show. There's a number of businesses that will be leaving NC or canceling their plans to expand in the state over this, which will have a substantial effect on the local economy. Yes, they're putting pressure on the state by withholding money, but it's also going to affect people's lives in a real and tangible way.

This seems like a good way to go about it:

which is also classy and a cool thing to do, but given the reality of what B just described less likely to be effective.

Le$$ likely to cancel.

The worst part of cancellations is that Ticketmaster still charges you a fee for the refund.

There was some fake story on Facebook today about the Dead & Company cancelling their Charlotte show in June because of this. We also have tickets to that show. As I said, the story was fake but I hope it doesn't gain any momentum with any bands playing in NC. Why punish the fans who probably agree with your stance anyway?

Did you even do anything, Ruddock?

I live in SC

That's no excuse.

I just googled Nikki Haley. I am in SHOCK that she isn't asking for a similar bill. I may have to head south.

Just kidding. I'm gonna move to Portland.

Pearl Jam should've just skipped the south like usual and all this could've been avoided.

It get's you thinking.

3 shows in Carolinas lol
