Reserve those front rows for dancing, not for VIPs. Try to learn from the convention if you know what i'm talking...

Hopefully there will be enough space between the front row and the stage for dancing. Unless the VIP premium includes the occasional lapdance from some dude(tte) who just downed one drink too many. :)

Seating charts are formed in an auditorium style (slanted), there’s a 3 or 4 feet gap from the stage to the VIPs seats (not enough room for dancing), there’s room for dancing behind the first couple rows, this way people can enjoy and see the concert and for those people like myself who likes to dance will have enough room to dance

Like in Boston, children should not be allowed in the concert at Chicago.
First of all, the rock concert is not appropriate for kids. Second, the parents, without any shame, tend to pretty much let the children run amok wildly in these Nepali gatherings.
While at poetry recitations in ANA, children were running around, screaming and yelling, and their parents were doing nothing. Laaj pachayera basi raheka thiye bau ama haru, while other adults were trying to be polite and hoping that somebody does something, while they themselves did not say anything. In the last New Years party at Toronto, this lady was performing really beautiful classical dance, and kids were running circles around her, ruining everything. Same thing happens over and over in other programs too, everywhere. Alikata baani behura ta sikaunu ni.

Lets not get carried away and compare a well-organized event like the upcoming Chicago concert to an impromptu New Year party or a poetry recital. For one thing, the bigger the event, the higher the stakes, so rest assured that unwanted disturbance will be minimal, if at all - after all, I'm sure the organizers dont want to have to deal with the wrath of a disenchanted audience and then hear about it at every social gathering west of Lake Michigan.
Allowing the kids (yes, even the 5-year olds) into the event serves a basic economic purpose - the likelihood of people attending the concert increases, and thus Mr. Shrestha and the 1974 AD guys get to go on to wherever they're performing next with that much more money in their pockets, which, I'm sure we all agree, is a GOOD thing. When married folks are not burdened with the usually onerous task of finding a babysitter for their kids, chances are, they will be more inclined to write that check for 40 bucks and get their batteries recharged for a wild family night at a nepali rock concert.
That said, I also concede to the possibility of a few unruly and loud kids spoiling it for some people, but hey thats life - after all, it IS a rock concert, and, by definition, it IS supposed to be a little loud and unruly! Perhaps if the parents would be more considerate towards their fellow concert-goers and do everything they can short of putting their kids on a leash, we could all have a helluva time on August 24th.

I think McDaddy is 100% correct. As a parent with a kid under the age of 5, I find it offensive that people here are trying to discourage us from attending nepali concerts, events and gatherings. Would I want to pay $50 to $100 to a baby sitter for a $20 concert, NO WAY. My tab for the night would sky rocket to $120 for a $20 concert at the least. It should be to my discretion to tend to my kids and make sure they are not unruly or disturb the concert. As a parent that is my job. Kudos to the chicago nepali pariwar, who considered every nepali who wants to attend the concert and meeting other nepalese. Becuase for me this is not only a concert but a chance to meet friends and fellow nepalese that I have not met in a long long time.
For people who find it offensive that I bring my 3 year old, I just have two words to say - STAY HOME.

A rock concert is no place for children leave alone a young child of under five. Imagine the noise, music, people singing along, dancing, etc..this can be traumatizing for children.
Imagine this, you have paid 20 bucks to go to this show and the kid next to you is howling his head off. How would you feel?
My take on this is if the parents want to come, then they should find either a babysitter or someone to take care of the children. A few parents not coming or not should not harm the quality of the show nor the enjoyment of others.

I'm no child psychology expert, but I dont think taking a 5-yr-old to a concert can be any more traumatizing for the kid than, say, taking him/her to a water-park full of screaming children. In any case, I would leave it to the parents to decide on the degree of risk posed to their children by the amplified but soothing voices of Deep Shrestha and 1974 AD.

My child would be traumatized with all that loud noise and singing, I don't know about yours. Ever taken children to a water park?? They come back exhausted and sleep for hours.
Soothing voices of 1974AD?? And Deep dai's?? for a 5 year old??? Honey, they're no sesame street characters nor barney!
Makes absolutely no sense to take children who cannot sit still for more than 5 minutes.

Was wrong wid our people ? Finally for the first time we have a Nepali concert and our people have all sorts of problems. I see hundreds of other communities doin not one but hundreds of programmes a year but dont see hundreds of Negativities. One small concert for the talented musicians and all dem people have is Negative comments and problems. Come on! this is why we are where we are. Wake up and Live! Every comment I hear is negative both for the organizers and the musicians. You people have too many problems and the rest of the world does not. Come on ! wake up. Everytime someone tries to do something like this our own people (you guys) take up backwards instead of taking us forward. Realize it dont criticize it! Rastaman Vibration ! Positive Vibration.! we are in a place where even god cant help us because of our attitued. We dont have no Shame!

Like I said, I'd leave it up to the parents to decide how traumatized their children would be if they CHOOSE to take them along.
And what I meant earlier was that since I find some of D. S.'s and 1974AD's music soothing, how bad could it be for children? After all, we're not talking about hard-core heavy metal here (now THAT would NOT be a good place to take your children to, not just because its loud, but also because there's usually so much sexual innuendo).
And to tell u the truth, its Barney and those Sesame Street buddies of his that traumatize me! Cant stand 'em!! :)

From earlier message: "you have paid 20 bucks to go to this show and the kid next to you is howling his head off. How would you feel?"
Ok, I am coming to see this concert. And ok, if the parents want to brink their little kids, that's fine. But if the kid next to me, or twenty feet away from me, starts howling, I swear I am going to kick some ass. Not the kid's, because kid does not know any better. But I sure will kick the fat ass of the adult who is with that kid. I am paying 20 bucks to see 1974AD perform and I shall not be denied my entertainment because some inconsiderate moron(s) bring their wailing babies where it is inappropriate.
Some guy up in the thread said, "For people who find it offensive that I bring my 3 year old, I just have two words to say - STAY HOME." Here's what I have to say to that guy, " Man, it's ok if you bring your 3 year old tyke with you. That's your prerogative. But if that kid of yours starts yelling and screaming (and you do nothing about it), which in turn does not allow me to enjoy the concert (for which I have paid 20 hard earned bucks), I am going to kick your rear behind all the way to Michigan Lake."
Yeah! Just like that!

Chatmandude: Thats exactly what I meant! People can bring whomever they want to as a fact of fact but our Nepalese parents let their kids run wild and bring them to the most in-appropriate places and think that its just kids being kids! And I heard that at the ANA show, some people had brought BABIES..yes thats BABIES in their prams!!
and SKS: Now if you started enjoying Barney...I'd be worried..really really worried!

So you want to make it personal. Ok fine, I am going to attend the concert and bring my 3 year old and let my kid enjoy the show too. And I will be eager to see you kick my rear if my kid starts yelling or screaming.

Ok ok ok
Let's all calm down. Om shanti shanti shanti :-) No one's going to provoke anyone or kick anybody's ass. We will have a peaceful fun concert and go home happy.
I feel bad because I started this discussion about parental supervision of their kids in Nepali functions. Batuwa!-ji, I am sure you are a responsible parent and will not allow your children to disturb others during the performance. Furthermore, no one here has any reason to believe that your three year old child is anything else but well mannered. Whether to bring him/her with you to the rock concert is your choice. And I am sure Chatmandude-ji is just getting little emotional and does not really mean to kick anybody's ass. I am certain that kicking ass, in this context, is more of a figurative term. We are all Nepali daju bhai didi bahini. Let's be considerate to each other, laugh with each other, enjoy the famous Deep Shrestha and 1974 AD show together. How about that? C'mon. Do I see a smile? Yeah? There you go.
Sangey.

I cant believe some of us are advocating violence against parents who bring their kids to a public event. Oh come on - can we all grow up? That wailing 5-yr-old has more maturity and civility than some of us in this thread.
I'm also very disappointed to see a person who claims to be a mother actually supporting a hate-monger. Before you take someone under your wings just because he supports your argument, I'd suggest you read the posting in its entirety and understand the gist of it.

I think a message of "live and let live" is in order here.
Parents need to understand that other people who pay money to get into concerts don't like being disturbed by children - may it be crying, shouting, running amock, turning off/on lights during shows, running in the stage area, etc.
Parents of children need to be considerate to other members of the audience by keeping their children in check.
If they cannot keep their children quiet, then it would makes sense to not bring them to a function like this in the first place.

I don't think we should make a big deal out of it. I think we should all take care of our kids(I don't have any but speaking on the behalf of those who have) and make them behave well or ELSE TIME OUT! I agree with Batuwa and Batuwa1. They both have good points. Kids can get really unruly and irritating sometimes(may be most of the times), especially if there is social gathering. And I have also seen parents doing nothing but chit-chatting and sipping wine or laughing their ass off rather than taking control of their kids.
So, my point is- let's cooperate each other, come together, and make this event a memorable one(in a wgood way). Thanks

Respectable sks ji,
Where did you see this mother supporting hatemongers? A mother DARED TO say what was acceptable and her motherhood becomes a question mark. Is that how you debate?
So what is the cut off age you all think for children to attend a concert?
And where in the states do you pay 100 dollars as batuwa says, for a few hours for a babysitter? Unless ofcourse you are living in Beverley Hills.

Mr. Bond is right on!
Parents have the responsibility of making their children behave themselves in public. Please do so and let others have a good time too.
In answer to the person that babysitting may cost upto $100 bucks..does that include champagne and caviar for the kids and the sitter?? If thats true, once you have kids of your own please call 1-800-SUNAKHARI and I shall gladly quit my job and become a full time babysitter. I love kids if thats a plus. :)
On a lighter note (and humorous one), the music of 1974AD may drown the sobs and crys of a young un.
HAVE FUN Y'ALL.

Hello people. lets support 1974AD with everything we can. Donations are welcome. If you guys are so concerned about yourself and have too much money just donate to 1974AD they are donating for the displaced families and Orphans of the current crisis in Nepal. Here you people are so concerned about your own self. Dont you guys feel ashamed? Just ask yourself before you go to sleep. Arent you people self centered? All you care about is have fun for yourself. I guess this is how the community goes forward. You guys are the ones who will take Nepali communities forward. I wish you would wake up and live!

hello everyone,
Didnt mean to twist the topic of the thread, but i realized this could be the only way to get attention rearding my query.
I am wondering if any of you are aware of Deep/ 1974 ADs concert in Pennsylvania/Philadelphia area? Are they not performing in this city of brotherly love at all ?
I have one more location that i could attend : Syracuse, NY after august 24. Does anyone know if they are coming anywhere near that area? I would appreciate your response.
