We all chipped in and everyone paid all this money to get on this private jet. Then Rob, being, and this is where one of his strengths is… managed to find a private jet company that just happened to have a jet that was flying back from Dallas to Los Angeles. We've done it but so much sadness because we couldn’t get there. “I got the text message from the promoter at Insomniac while we were at the airport and he just said, ‘The show is sold out.’ So it was this really strange moment where there was all this euphoria from being so happy that the show was sold out.
