hi Joe.

I am prearing this letter draft on my plane in Johor Baru, Malaysia, on divert route from original destination, Singapore.

I have been your huge fan since 1990 when I first listened to your "Extremist" album. It is such a powerful and beautiful music. Suddenly I fell in love with you. Since then, I am collecting all your CD albums until today. My wife, Sandy, is a fan of Marco as she first saw his performance in youtube 2 years ago.

When we heard your world tour schedule to Singapore, we were very excited and decided to go, even though we have to travel from Indonesia, our home town.

So we save our money and prevent to spend our money on something else, including skip Dream Theater concert in Jakarta, October 26, 2014.

We have already bought your Singapore concert and return airplane ticket to Singapore. We take annual leave from our office as your concert is on working day.

Unfortunately, we miss our morning flight 11.20 AM Indonesia time and the airline staff told us that our ticket can not be used for the next flight since we have checked ourselves in thru web and asked us to buy new ticket for the next flight 02.30 PM Indonesia time with much higher price. No choice, the show must go on as nobody can guarantee we can see your concert in any other day.

So we took the 02.30 PM Indonesia time flight to Singapore after a long time waiting at the airport and scheduled to arrive at 05.00 PM Singapore time.

Another problem happens as the Captain explained that Singapore airport authority closed the airport due to heavy rain. Oh my! The Captain had to reroute to Johor Baru, Malaysia, as the fuel might not sufficient for flying over Singapore waiting for better weather. We landed in Johor Baru at 06.00 PM Malaysia/Singapore time for refueling.

Now is 08.00 PM Malaysia/Singapore time and we still stuck in our plane parked in Johor Baru, and it is exactly the time you scheduled to play. Singapore airport authority can only release our plane for the next 1 hour.

We feel empty inside and helpless now. We feel mixed emotion and very, very upset with the situation. No way we can see your concert. This is not about the money but the opportunity to see you perform. Don't think we can make it again next time.
