Question: Why is a press release sent out four days before said event? I am guessing they want to up sales? Dumb. I am not printing it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TUCSON AND PHOENIX “MEET IN THE MIDDLE” AS
JOHNJAY AND RICH PRESENT
PHOOSON
OCTOBER 12TH AT PINAL COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS

NE-YO ADDED TO THE LINE UP!!

October 8, 2007 – Tucson, AZ – So what do you get when you take Arizona’s Morning Show with Johnjay and Rich, heard on 93.7 KRQ in Tucson and 104.7 KISS FM in Phoenix, and you add in an all star list of artists and the idea of a concert that will crank up the heat in both cities? You get PHOOSON!

It started out as a simple radio interview a few months ago between Johnjay and Rich and national recording artist Enrique Iglesias who was promoting his new single “Do You Know?” and at the time his new upcoming album “Insomniac”. During the interview Johnjay and Rich agreed to play the new single every day if Enrique phoned the show every day. Enrique agreed and the bargain was struck. So was a friendship. After many phone calls, an in-studio visit and months of talk about Enrique Iglesias doing a concert the idea to have him headlining PHOOSON…a concert for Arizona fans in between Phoenix and Tucson was born. The date is October 12th at Pinal County Fairgrounds in Casa Grande as Enrique Iglesias performs live along with additional artists to be announced soon! This will be Enrique’s first appearance promoting the new album in the United States before he kicks off his international tour.

PHOOSON will include performances by Enrique Iglesias, The Jonas Brothers, Paula DeAnda, Kat DeLuna, Fabulous AND the newly added Ne-Yo! Plus…special guest hosts American Idol Jordin Sparks, Matt Leinart of the Arizona Cardinals and renowned medium Allison Dubois!

(please note that due to scheduling conflicts Lloyd is no longer on the bill)

It's the biggest thing to hit Casa Grande since the opening of that Dairy Queen in 1977," say Johnjay and Rich. We say…mark your calendars...you won't want to miss this show!

Tickets are priced at $40 and are on sale NOW online at www.ticketmaster.com, at all Ticketmaster outlets including Fry’s Marketplace, Ritmo Latino and Macy’s Stores or charge by phone in Tucson at
(520) 321-1000. For more information on the show log on to www.johnjayandrich.com.

This is an update of the original release that was sent out a month ago. A new version was put out adding Ne-Yo to the lineup and alerting people that Lloyd won't be performing as originally scheduled.

Care to rethink that "dumb" comment?

Nope. Still think it is dumb. Who are these said 'artists' anyway?

And now you're just proving that you don't listen to top 40 radio. So why worry about what a station you don't listen to is doing?

So what I don't listen to that crap. I am doing my job. I work for TNI and we were editing press releases and I didn't want to run that one. Don't you worry bout what I be doing, just doing my thing.
