As one of the promoters of this show, I can say that we worked very closely with Craze’s mgr to make sure that we followed the guidelines. She approved all the promo we did. In my opinion this was probably brought to Kanye’s people by another venue in Austin and a liquor company who was sponsoring the “official” afterparty. As you can see on the flyer posted above, we never said this was the after party. We are just clever people who know how to create a good title for a party. (I jest…)

That being said, to my knowledge, we haven’t heard anything from BB regarding this.

I doubt Kanye even knows about this, so there’s no point throwing darts at him. Mgmt and Legal folks work on an entirely different playing field.

Hope you have a nice day,

ttrentham – They didn’t mention the image, just the blog post. Perhaps thats splitting hairs, but i guess we’ll see if this is as important two weeks after the event as it was one week after the event.

By their logic, aren’t you essentially doing it again by posting the image?

Sounds like a load of b.s. to me. You should’ve told Beauty Bar and Kanye West to go blow.

I am also not a lawyer. It appears to me Kanye’s group did an excellent job at having the Beauty Bar do their dirty work for them. Dirty work done a week later. How strange. What Bullies.
