Your opportunity to do the Halle Berry at Alltel scuttled

The latest consequence of the recession: Your good time. Hurricane Chris, Pleasure P, 8ball and MJG and dozens of other hip-hop-ish artists will not be coming to Alltel as part of "Summer Jam," co-sponsored by Alice 107.7 and Power 92.

Here's the official statement:

Due to circumstances beyond their control in this present economy, Citadel Broadcasting is canceling their Summer Jam concert scheduled for June 19th, 2009 at Alltel Arena.

They do appreciate your cooperation and commitment over the years to this event and are looking forward to next year, as they will continue with their Summer Jam event.

Tickets for this event can be refunded at the original point of purchase.
