bond_oo7 ... I agree with you that $20.00 is a little bit high ... from what I understand the hosting organization, ANMN, tried to negotiate the price down with the artists but that did not work out. Someone above asked the Nepalmoney where i organization to put their there mouth is ... well that's what they are trying to do ... they are asking their members (all Nepalis in Minnesota --- like you - don't mean you personally, you know what I mean) to support this event and unite in welcoming Nabin Bhattarai to the TwinCities. The price is more unreasonable for Nepali families, say a family with Dad/Mom, 4 kids ... that's $120.00 for the whole family ... so if you are going to say that the cost is high period. I wholeheartedly agree with you but if you guys are going to insist that it is only high for STUDENTS then poppy cock ... would you like cheese with your whine!! LP
