Recently I discovered, soon after we returned from Ruby Lake and the ballet was announced that Steph had written to Jean Grand Maitre ( yes, a letter not an email) and told him of my love for Joni's music and for the ballet and that she wanted to arrange a 60th birthday surprise for me. Unbeknown to me, Steph made a great relationship with the ballet company administrators. When I started to try and buy tickets in August, Steph announced that we had tickets arranged for May 1 st and 3rd and could even go to Edmonton the following week if I wanted. She then told me we had tickets 2 rows from Joni on the 1 st and would be going to the after show party. I suspect that Joni found out we were going, just couldn't face meeting those English girls again so pulled the plug. Anita PS My Steph - what a gal!

We bought our tickets for the April 30th opening night. Yesterday we get a call from the ballet company box office saying Joni felt the theme of love she wanted to explore could not be adequately captured in a single ballet. So she pulled the plug, and all the tickets sold have to be refunded. We hadnt yet bought airfares yet, fortunately. I think rehearsals may have already begun so it might represent quite an economic hit for the Alberta ballet, unless Joni covers their losses. > > I guess the lady told Robin on the phone that they respect her artistic vision and that Joni was known for being uncompromising! Now that is headline news! You heard it here first. > > Dave ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 19:46:27 -0800 From: Betsy Blue Subject: Seeff HOSL session I was shopping for a Joni print for a friend, when I noticed an interesting detail. In the picture of her at the side of her pool, you can see that her nails were painted a purplish color, but they are totally thrashed. Celebrities are just like us: their manicures get ruined. Also, I can't come close to bring able to afford a custom printed photo. I am seriously considering one of the art.com posters of her Vogue pic, though. Fess up. Who has a poster hanging in their bedroom?
