Friday January 14th Austin Concert at the Frank E Center

Dear George, Everyone knows you are a great song writer and now we know that you are a good thief. Smooth and slick, you see... you stole my money because the concert that we paid for was a rip-off. You are a professional song-writer but whoever you hired and paid to pick the venue (F.E.C.,Austin TX) really dropped the ball. But, you are the boss so the buck stops with you. On top of that I think you need to take a little bit of Dusty's advise (get it), things are going too fast, too much smoke and too much noise, not enough for the old George that got you were you are today. You did a terrible job and I paid the price. I work hard for my money, George and I was looking forward to seeing THE GEORGE STRAIT in concert, this is no BS, I actually walked out of your show, but I'm not the only one that walked out. I live in Temple TX, the company that I work for is small (about 150 people) four of us went and I didn't know until Tuesday, but the other two people walked out like I did and as we were walking out, I saw more people leaving that show that I've ever seen leave a concert in my life and you were only about 8 songs into your set. George, I've seen everybody there is to see, twice. From little Jimmy Dickens to Led Zeppelin. I will not pay to hear or see you again and I advise anyone to not waste their money on you. Thanks for a good time, enjoy my money. Tim- Temple TX
