All I can say is I agree with FIREFLY(too hard to spell in nepali) I met lots of friends I hadn't seen in ages. The concert and the dances are just side show, if you like go if not stay in the lobby and drink. The main thing is we all got to meet our long lost friends and families, it is a gathering to catchup with our past in this busy life in America. Why complain, you complain every year yet you come every year isn't it an irony. typical nepali mentality, can complain but can't give a reason to fix the problem. Eveyone knows the problem but who has the answer. Next year in NY I say save your skin, if you are an organizer reading this I would like to see SWAT team there not just regular cops. This is a prediction, there is going to be lot more fights and brawls in NY and you regular folks will complain more than ever. I don't complain or expect anything from ANA. All I care is out of my busy life in the states I take a week's vacation and go to ANA to see my friends and drink with them, that is the most enjoyable moment for me than anything during the 3 days. I don't go to ANA expecting to see a organized concert like PINKFLOYD with lights and sound. what do you expect to see for $25. Even if you go to clubs these days full of starangers will charge you $20 and up to get in, if you go to a Rock Concert it is $50 and above for an average band. You want to see U2 or Stones be ready to fork up $100 and more, $25 was cheap. Even if they were bad and they sucked, you should be proud you are in America and you got to see some Nepali Bands play for the nepali croud. If you didn't like it that much why don't you whiners form your own band and play in NY and I want to see if you can perform as good as UNWRITENKARMA band did. All I am saying is DID you HAVE FUN at ANA? Did you meet your Friends from nepal whom you hadn't even imagine to see ever??? in the end all matters is you meet your friends and drink, you get a boy or a girl and you hook up, some end up in bed and some end up marrying!!!!! it is all about meeting nepali people. I have to give a big shout out to the guys in DALLAS for a superb weekend thoug it was hot as hell, I loved it, hell with the performers, they tried their best and gave their best. I am hoping NY will be a blast, this time I won't have to pay for the plane fare, which I can spend in drinks, so all you nepali dajubhaididibahini's look our for me in NY, if nothing I will atleast try to please you by offering a drink. You wanna get drunk look for me. Cheers with Nepal Beer's
