bond_oo7 ... you hit the nail on the head.... why should you spend 20 dollars on a concert of a somewhat decent Nepali artist (not according to me) ... when you you can take 20 dollars ... and go to the bar and have drinks ( $5.00 - cover charge, $5.50 - beer, $9.50 Tips to that sexy blonde bar maid) ... that's the best way to spend your $20.00. My point, if you would like to donate that money to Nepal to educate children please do so ... no one will be more proud of that then lalpari. I highly recommend people to take that money and give it to various funds to educate children in Nepal. With that said ... if you are not going to do that and waste your money on some flutsy who will not give you a time of day ... support your fellow Nepalis ... I will tell you this ... I am not particularly fond of Nabin Bhattarai's music but as a Nepali ... me and my sister will pay $20.00 each to go to the concert whether we can afford it or not!! LP
