Small Can Equal Very Strong

(April 14, 1999)

Great strength exists in the smallest things.

A spider's web is so exquisitely formed, a fragile gossamer remnant. But it is stronger in proportion to size and weight than the finest steel.

The hummingbird's wings send out impulses strong enough to resemble the throb of a tiny high speed engine . . . but early on, it was thought that because of the way its wings were constructed, it could never fly.

Love can be a mere glance, a brief word, a silent touch. But it reaches past time and space.

Prayer, short, deep . . . a word from the heart and spirit can work miracles and change a whole world.

Reach out!

Peace,
Tawanka

Another FAIL for LiveNation

See the email exchange that happened today, just 10 minutes ago. Another FAIL. Why do I keep expecting better?

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for contacting Live Nation Customer Care with your inquiry. Our records reflect that you were able to purchase 6 ticket for Jimmy Buffett at Verizon Charlotte. These tickets are located on the lawn and will be printed and shipped out to you early this week. I apologize for any confusion during the purchase process.

Thank you,

Katy
Live Nation Customer Care

WTF? Katy, did you even read the email?

Katy,

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, it does nothing to address the issues I raised in my letter to you, other than to apologize for confusion. (By the way: I felt no confusion during the process; just intense dislike of the horrible way that LiveNation chooses to serve it's customers.)

What does LiveNation have to say for itself and this despicable experience? Surely, this isn't what the LiveNation brand is supposed to stand for--or am I giving the company more credit than it's due?

Awaiting a real answer,
Your still very upset customer,
Elizabeth
