I'm totally spreading a rumor here, but I heard that Tommy Lee was DJ'ing at BoMA last weekend. Super hush-hush, super exclusive. Unfortunately for Tommy, only 100 people showed up. No photography was allowed.
Can anybody in CU-land substantiate these rumors?

Apparently so. I need to check my shit out before I post on CU.

Well, whatever the exclusivity level... I heard only a hundred people showed. Poor Tommy.

Rule we can all learn from this and that show a few weeks ago - if you're going to a show at BOMA don't get there until 11:30 at the earliest :)

I mean, i wouldn't pay $50 to see the guy play drums, so maybe I don't get it. But that kinda money to see him spin a couple of records and someone is surprised they feel ripped off?

If she thought VIP today meant the VIP of his 80's hair band days, then yeah, disappointed probably doesn't begin to cover it, haha :)

I believe that this person has no idea of what they were getting into, and it is even more obvious they had never been to an electronic event before. Unless there were ads saying the event started at 10, I have no idea why you’d show up to a club at 9-9:30 and not expect a LONG time before the headliner. The post here on CU says doors open at 10p.
It seems like this person wanted to see Tommy Lee play rock music and doing drum solos all night, not DJ’ing. Oh well, live and learn…better luck next time.
As for the numbers, if only 100 people showed up, I find that somewhat shocking. I figured he’d pack the place with his name recognition alone, like him or not. I would like to hear more about that. Who threw this party? Does anyone know?

i don't get that statement at all
if i didn't even hear of this event... it means it wasn't promoted
not a brag
it's my job to constantly check for events like this
Weird, that. I'm not even into that type of music and I heard about it everywhere. Have no interest in going to BoMa, though - and my interest in seeing Tommy Lee is even less than that.

I also heard a lot about it.
on no! it just occurred to me that might mean they are targeting people of a certain "age" who might remember when Tommy Lee was actually a star of some sort...

Columbus is actually considered an A-Market in the Dance scene to Booking Agents, didn't surprise me when he was booked here, turnout? Also not surprising.
