People upset that Darren is only doing so many shows.

kelsie19:

I know it might suck because hes not coming close or only doing small venue shows but you all don’t even realize how amazing this is that hes even able to tour, instead of complaining about it be happy either way because this is not something he HAS to do but is choosing to do to try and make the fans happy.

Its not like its the end, once his album comes out I’m sure he will tour again and bigger venues this time and places he’s never been before. This  is a first for his team and they didn’t know what to expect but now that they know, things can only get bigger from here. I promise you all that one day Darren will headline a huge arena tour worldwide and everybody will get the chance to see him.

Well said!  

Plus think of all of the YouTube videos this will produce from all of these shows, and he’s always encouraging of that, so even if his management and the venues prohibit it, you know he’ll be secretly glad that some fans get away with it.  

It’s so interesting about the Paris show now, with people in France angry about people from surrounding countries being in the pool of contenders trying to score tickets.  In America, if you live in Connecticut and Darren has a concert in New York, you buy tickets if you can make that 3 hour drive.  In Europe, if you live in Brussels and Darren has a concert in Paris, you buy tickets if you can make that 3 hour drive.  The drive from London to Paris is around the same as the drive from Vermont to New York.  It’s just different states here rather than different countries.  It’s an interesting difference in perspective.  Yet I must admit that people were complaining here in America about the audacity of some fans buying tickets to more than one show and driving to multiple states, thus “taking tickets away from people who couldn’t even score one ticket.”  

It’s all part and parcel of the concert business, and if he booked larger venues and didn’t sell them out, it would look like a failure of a tour and he wouldn’t be able to launch another one. 

This is better for him, for his career, for those “bootlegging” YouTube videos, and for everyone in the long run.

But honestly, there’s not a single decision that happens on my behalf that I don’t feel I have complete control or say in."

It’s a subject that’s very near and dear to my heart, simply because I grew up in such an open community—doing theater in San Francisco. I mean, it doesn’t get much, stereotypically, “gayer.” I was inadvertently raised in the “gay community.” I had straight parents, but I spent massive amounts of time at a very early age with gay, theater-hopeful thirty-somethings. And those were the people I spent time with early on, so my whole perception of “sexuality” just wasn’t there. It just…was. It even got to the point where, later in life… I had all the components in place. I was, well, not super effeminate, but I was into girly things—I liked musical theater, all the stereotypical things. I had to come out and say, well, I’m sorry, but I think I’m straight. And people were like, say it ain’t so! And I would say, “It’s been a secret too long, but I’m actually a straight male.”

And so for the longest time when people asked me about Blaine, I wanted to say It doesn’t matter. And it doesn’t. But I don’t want to devalue it, because it’s a very earnest question, and I can see why people would want to know. And I realized that if I said, it doesn’t matter, that immediately means that I’m gay. So I do define myself as a straight male, but it really doesn’t come into play with me in this role. As an actor, your objective is always to play the scene. And this case, he happens to be a gay teen.
