i keep trying to call my friend from New Orleans, but nothing but busy signal.....which is expected.

It kind of put things in perspective doesn't it. I was angry because I paid all that money and only got 4 hours of TIC in LA. Yet, I got to go to a good show.

Yes, these people are losing a TIC...total. But, that's probably the furthest from their mind when they have no home, no food, lost relatives and friends. When will New Orleans be the same with?

Hopefully, for what its worth, maybe Tiesto will give a show with the proceeds going to a relief fund.

I think it may still happen:

VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE HOPES TO MOVE FORWARD

Organizers for the VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE, originally set to take place in New Orleans’ City Park, are hard at work on a relocation plan for the 2005 event. Developments currently in progress are a new festival site and city, as well as a shift in ambition, as Voodoo aspires to raise funds for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The goal of this year’s event, still set for Saturday, October 29 and Sunday, October 30, will be to raise funds (details TBA) for supporting those in need and to aid in the rebuilding and preservation of the culture and heritage of New Orleans, which has served as home to Voodoo for the past six years.

“We want to be a part of the rebuilding process of New Orleans and we are dedicated to preserving the unique musical identity of our great city,” says Stephen Rehage, founder and independent producer of the annual VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE. “I am in awe of the generosity and kindness of so many people and cities who are reaching out to provide us a home for this year’s festival, the artists who are offering to perform and our fans and sponsors who are providing their continued support and patience during this difficult time. We look forward to harnessing this energy into something truly great for this community that so many of us, our friends and family call home.”

Details will be released as soon as the information is confirmed. Original tickets will be honored, however, refunds are available by phone or at any Ticketmaster location. As for next year’s event, the goal is to return to Voodoo’s hometown of New Orleans. Stay tuned for additional updates and information regarding the 2005 VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE.

Tiesto's New Orleans date is now gone from his gig schedule on his site...

Sooooooo, looks like TiC for NO has been canned.

Can't be good for business.
