lalpari, i appreciate your sentiment about helping our nepali artists daju-bhais and didi-bahinis. If the organizers feel similarly, they should put their money where their mouth is! Why is there the need for cost of accommodation and transportation?? You want us to consider them our daju bhais and didi bahinis, but yet they can't be accommodated in our houses and travel in our vehicles?? Easy to throw out the lame nepali mentality card at us but if mentality do need to be changed, it is all around. Yes, audience need to support their fellow artists and not focus too much on the cost. Artists, need to realize they are more of a daju-bhais didi-bahinis than celebrity and their focus should be more on reaching the greater nepali audience to bring them together and provide them with joy of being nepali and being with other fellow nepalis thru their music/acts etc. Last but not the least, the organizers need to extend their generosity in doing everything within their capacity to make the event more attractable and accessible. As much as we all hate to admit it, cost is probably the biggest factor followed by food when it comes to attraction and access to events of such types. P.S. hey ktm_wolves bro, are you planning to attend this concert? haven't heard much buzz about it within the ballers group :p
