And not just in monetary terms. They also have to listen to twelve hours of Taylor Swift's music.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

Let's not forget the opportunity cost of what else they might do and see while in Paris. I mean there's Disneyland Paris amirite."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Paris sounds so dope. The timing didn’t work. All 4 nights!!!! Queen Shit! We are looking at Ireland in July and already have the end of the Eras in Vancouver booked.Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post
I have friends who are going to Paris for the express purpose of seeing Taylor's show. They are going all 4 nights. Cannot imagine what they paid.
We are officially in Tortured Poets month!!!!Get confident, stupid

We lasted about twenty minutes watching the Eras Tour (or whatever it's called) concert on Disney last week. I realize I'm merely confirming my advanced age here, but I would find sitting through that concert four times excruciating, esp. if I were in Paris with so many other cool things to see, eat, or do.Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post

I tried to guesstimate what they paid. I'm guessing $8k for the shows alone.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View Post

Re: the Eras Tour on Disney channel, my 7 year old granddaughter watched it with us and demanded we watch as soon as it became available. I think we sat and watched a countdown screen. Anyway, seeing her, my daughter in law and my wife all singing their lungs out gave me a lot of joy. I lasted the whole show, but admittedly, I like a lot of her stuff. There is something there though that definitely crosses generations. I wish I were as much of a baller as HFN and actually went with my girls to a show. He's gotta be the coolest dad ever.

They are in the city for 2 weeks, so they feel they won't miss out on too much. I'm solidly in the camp of when in Paris don't do anything non-Paris, but to each their own.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View Post

I think I've spent three nights in Paris total, and if it were longer, Mrs. Diddley probably would have insisted on a day at Disneyland Paris.Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post

When I went there was a girl next to us who was probably 8-10 years old with her mom. In between a couple of well-deserved naps she was belting out the songs as loud as my daughter. It was wholesome to see. Swift absolutely is multi-generational.Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post

"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
