Wow! People are so quick to judge. For the record, Kid had been standing there hanging out for a good 5-10 minutes. Nobody in my general area bothered him AT ALL. Nobody asked for a picture. He happened to step over to say something funny to the other girl and they chatted for a minute. It is a vacation - people take snapshots. I've seen many snapshots from other cruises. Point of the matter is that neither Kid or his security shook their heads, gave the "don't do that look", or anything of that nature. Andy was rude. All he actually would have had to do was shake his head and I would have put my camera away. There were several cameras snapping away and he decided to be rude to me. Fact of the matter is I didn't take the picture and I walked away.

Just to be clear, I was trying to be nice. If I were that girl, I would have been so excited to get a candid shot! Based on the conversation going on here, I will never try that again. Apparently it would not be appreciated.

AND I ran into Kid several times throughout the weekend and didn't even THINK about trying to take his picture. Same goes for a lot of the other artists.

I agree that Kid should be able to hang on the beach without people approaching him. But as I stood there not talking to him or taking photos (which was my choice and I am perfectly okay with), people came by and shared a drink, others went by and leaned in to say "what's up", etc. He was perfectly cool about it and was having fun.

I still say that Andy was out line.

What Kid says at the sail away is that he just took a photo with everyone on the ship for the last four hours; and, if he had to stop to take another photo with everyone again that would be kind of fucked up. I wasn't looking to get a photo with him, just wanted to say thanks (although, interestingly enough, the gal that was allowed to talk to Kid did ask if she could get a photo with him and he obliged). And no, Beckxy, I didn't get up in anyone's face, interrupt a conversation, nor talk too fast since I didn't talk to Kid at all on the beach. And, I'll bet my FIVE CTM paid fares, that Heather didn't either. Apparently, the fatal mistake I made was to actually thank Andy while boarding the ship for thinking all this fun up and making it happen. I asked him how he did it, but I won't repeat his surprising and funny answer to that question as to not get sued for libel. The entire conversation lasted about two minutes. Second mistake was that I approached Andy, for only the second time, on the beach, not Kid. As, I said, it's about Andy's power trip. "You've been trying to get to Kid through me from day one." he said. Huh and WTF?!! The guy is fucking delusional and an egomaniac. This dead horse has been beaten enough. Here's my opinion. I find Andy Levine to be a rude ass. Here's a fact. He's not getting anymore of my money. That's all I'm sayin. No matter if he thinks I'm a stalker or a dollar sign that can easily be replaced, I cordially invite him to GO FUCK HIMSELF!!

Of all songs, I can not get Yelawolf's song outta my head since the cruise and it's beginning to be so fitting in this thread "Don't make me go pop the trunk... on you"...lol

idk, you guys, KR pretty much has spelled it out every year at the sail away show. The guy just sat down and took 4000 pics (I say 4000 b/c I was looking thru at how many folks actually got single pics with him this year rather then the group # in the room) but anyway, he says about keeping cool if ya see him out and about, not running up on him, or snapping photos...ect. And, I will admit.. we took snippets of the sail away show.. tho after reading this, I'm so down with never taking another picture or video again, because I am so WRONG in doing so. And I think what's really hard for fans is you may see him out and about, giving someone who may be in front of you some time for a small chat, and even an autograph or picture, which then in turn makes everyone around him think... well how bout me boss? and me boss? and me boss? 'yea i watch to many cartoons as a kid'.. anyway.. I think it quickly gets carried away for the guy, overwhelming. Can you imagine being in his shoes. I'd be ready to punch somebody out too..lol Angel

I think you even have to look at the way you approach him. Like at the boarding picture I had this line I wanted to say to him.. but I fell short b/c I said it so daam fast to get it out.. I thought.. OH crap.. ferget it..lol I just made a total ass outta myself..lol. Thinking less is better in this case. And LK.. Perhaps this Andy dude sensed a certain way about you that he thought KR would find overbearing, tho you may not see it.. and maybe Kid didn't even see it.. nobody was there to say hey girl chill, so ya have to take a step back and look what happen.. did ya get up in his face, interrupt his conversation with someone... talk 2 fast.. follow him too much. I know u r looking at this guy as a dick.. but he just seemed b reinforcing what KR asked 4

Thanks Heather!! Isn't it sad to not only spend all that money and travel all that way because we RESPECT and admire an artist, who is approachable and friendly -- and right there -- only to walk away because of one person?! Ironically, the same person that made it all happen?! No one is a fucking stalker, it's all about Andy Levine's power trip.

Roxy, I didn't slam his people and, clearly, this has nothing to do with you. The way I was "acting" was embarrassing to you?! Besides the cabin, I saw you a whole five minutes on the ship and on the island. Thankfully we all got along during the trip. But, you're going to get on here and call me a stalker? WTF?!!
Fuck, I shouldn't have laughed when Sixthman said I own the cabin and could change the names of my cabin mates anytime I wanted . . . hindsight is 20/20!!

You may call yourself outspoken, the correct word is rude.

You dont need a pic too have memories.Who talks like that.?....Well I do,and have been saying that for 13 yrs now.And Lisa you know damn well that I was going to be beside him,I have paid my frikkken KR dues,and all I wanted was one nice photo of us.I told you that I thought you were very uncool about the whole thing,and I stand by that.I think you slamming andy and his fantastic people,shows us were your heads at.Shut up about It.

I need to defend LK on this one! I was in the same spot probably a song or two before your video clip. Kid leaned over and said something funny to the girl in front of me and so she took a step or two over to chat for a second. Her and her group were so fun and nice, I thought that I should snap a quick photo of her with Kid. While there were tons of other people pointing cameras in his direction, Andy was yelling at me saying "remember it in your brain". I said it's a cute photo opp, she'll like it. All he kept saying was "remember it in your brain". Who talks like that? So, even though Kid was hanging out on the beach right next to our group, I walked away. Believe me, he doesn't need Andy protecting him. He's got a solid security team. He gets along fine without Andy every other weekend out of the year!

LK's Soap Box's picture

True, Roxy, all the peeps at Sixthman are great -- except the owner, Andy, not so much! Stalkerish ways?!! Give me a FUCKING break, you weren't even fucking there (although there's a video that I'm sure you didn't watch, all sorts of people around him, but I can't say thanks to him?!!) And, how many times did you and Sassy insist on being next to him in the photo? I didn't care if I was next to him, so unstalkerish of me, wouldn't you say?!! And, the rude encounters from this cruise continue . . .

Angel aka KRA's picture

SERIOUSLY BOB.... How about a weekend in vegas... Rent out a hotel and let the vegas police deal with the nutjobs... and the normal peeps can leave if they want.... Lots of peeps had a great time but I cant imagine being stuck with that many drunkass crazy peeps for 4 days... I would be punchin peeps in the head... Not good...

LK's Soap Box's picture

Beckxy, sorry you were so sick and had to stay on the ship, I couldn't have done that. I could see me tossing my cookies over the side of the tender, whatever it took to get me to that island!! ;) Or, I would have been down in the infirmary loading up on some potent drugs. I'm glad you could make the best of a sad situation.
IDK, Andy is right next to Kid in the video, doesn't look like he was doing too much protecting. He told me if I want to say anything to him that he'd be leaving in a little bit and I could go stand over there (he pointed to the left of the wooden ship) and wait there. I asked him, "Why would I need to do that if he's right here?" Fuck that, so I didn't say anything to Kid and I went the opposite direction of where he said to go. I ended up making a b-line up the ramp to what looked like a bar. I didn't know it was one big bar 'til I got in there and then saw the guy from Hellbound Glory. I wanted to talk to him since we both grew up in the same town. I had no idea, or intention, of ending up in Kid's group. And, sure I'm glad I got a smidgen of time with KR, and it would have been longer if it wasn't for Andy coming up to haul me off like a criminal in front of Kid. I said, "Bye, Kid, I'm getting kicked out of here." And, here's what he said to that, "Sixthman are assholes and just know they're the ones kicking you out, not me." At one point Andy said, "You've been trying to get to Kid through me from day one!" Wow, what a fucking loon! Sorry Mr. Ego, I've met Kid plenty of times and it had nothing to do with you twit!

All my friends, no doubt, would say I'm one of the most laid back, easy-going people they know. I don't let too much shit get to me. In fact, I said to myself right after all this BS went down, "I can't let that ass ruin my day, I'm in Redneck Paradise for fuck sake!" But, later, I just couldn't shake off the fact that the guy has gotten a lot of my money and he really did treat me like a POS. Since times are so tough for everyone, none of my friends could afford to go on any of these cruises and they don't seem to have the same Kid Rock priorities as me ; ). So, for the first two cruises I went alone, but paid for two full fares, not once but twice (later getting 75% of those second fares back because of the CFAR insurance). So, that means I paid 5 fares and, of course, Andy got a huge chunk of that money. I just can't give someone like him, who treated me so poorly, anymore of my hard earned money. And, now he's even tainted the other two trips for me, and that really gets my goat as well. Nonetheless, I did have a blast on all three cruises, fun times and fun memories to cherish.

Beckxy's picture

LK.. that's my friend Ria up in that video. Man.. shit, I wish I would of been able just to get on that island. PMS'n up a storm and hot humid beach bathrooms just don't work for me.. or I would of been up front for that Hellbound Glory show.. but I did get to see them two times on the boat thank God.. and I LOVED THEM and will be seeing their show in Philly soon, God willing.

I remember you telling me that story at the casino on Sat night... looks as if the guy was just trying to protect Kid.. seems tho that Kid was a nice guy for letting you continue for a lil while. Gotta look at it this way.. some of us didn't even get that chance, ya know. Matter of fact, I'm kicking myself in the ass for not sticking around the Comerica show cuz the ones that did got one hell of a treat. Girl.. I didn't even get a chance to see the main show 'sigh'.. but I'm trying real fucking hard not to let it eat at me, yanno. Everything was just bad mf'n luck this year. And, I'm thankful for the good times with friends and the bands I did get to see. Besides saying hello to some of the band members.. which I hold dear. But I agree with Val.. brush that shit off your shoulders and smile lady.. cuz who all can say they got a lil extra time with Bob, Lucky one ; )

ps.. $428.00.. and I did not set foot in the merchadise store b/c my limit was 100.00 per day on the boat. Sure wish I could of gotten a Paradime shirt.. I'm so daam broke..lol It's time I change my direction so I can get back to spending money like it ain't no thing.

We didn't do too bad. Under three hundred, but took rum runners in addition to packing champagne. Traveled from South Florida with a party of eight, so between us, we did real good.
LK ~ Sorry about your experience. That is a total downer.
Please to have met some of you and wish I had met all of you. Good times with friends.

LK's Soap Box's picture

Aw, THANKS Val! Please, continue. ; }~ Now the check really is in the mail!!
Yeah, if anyone is delusional it's Andy Levine!! My photos are posted in the order I took them. I enjoyed the beach, the band, the beauty that was surrounding me ; ) and then was shoulder to shoulder with KR, which seemed like a good time to say "thanks" -- but, no. I mean butt hole!!
Gotta share my next rude encounter that happened only a few hours later. I was at the poker table when Kid arrived at the craps table. The gal sitting next to me asked what is so special about watching Kid gamble. Of course, most of us are on the ship because of him and some flew not only across the country to see him, but some even trekked across the world!! So, is it really all that strange to watch him play craps and get in some eye candy, which included Yelawolf. Who, btw, seemed to be a decent guy when he was out later that same night without his bodyguard. I was gonna tell him that one of my cabin mates was not only from his home town of Gadsden, AL, but from the same neighborhood. I was right near him, but this one guy kept blocking ; ) and then Yela walked over to some other guys and I was like, fuck it, I'm going to bed. Saturday, I think he was trashed (and, apparently rude to a few people from what I heard; and, his bodyguard didn't want people getting photos of him drunk off his ass). Anyway, I did walk over to watch KR play craps (and the eye candy got even better when he Kid took off his shirt -- hello?!! ; }~

LK's Soap Box's picture

Although, KR should ask to come back with a little more self love since he thinks he's just so ugly. He's not cute to me because he sold millions of records. When he was first started to blow up, I remember thinking how strange it was for me to find him attractive since blondes with blue eyes aren't usually my type and I prefer short hair to long. Anyway, I digress . . . I got up to watch Kid gamble, but I stood between the craps table and a 21 table, I actually got to see the table too that way. Eventually, this gal playing at the craps table with her husband says to me, "Can I ask you a question?" Yeah? "Why are you standing there?" I replied, "I don't know -- why don't you ask ALL these people standing here that same question!" Man, that bitch was lucky I kept my Irish temper in check! The girl standing behind me literally "had my back" and voiced her opinion about the nerve of some people. Sheesh!! Really, some people's kids I tell ya!!
The only other fucked up encounter was the guy going around groping women on the dance floor. One touch may be a mistake, but two?!! I was in that guy's face so fast and that fucker got an earful from me! He didn't come near me after that. Creepy!! Um, Andy, that kind of behavior should get the threat of no return on the cruise; or, perhaps the public fornicators in the hot tub (it is a party after all, but please people there are kids on board). And, my last gripe and then I'll shut it myself. Who the fuck approves the questions to KR? Asking him if he waxes his balls?!! Come on people, show some respect!!

KRSVal's picture

Well mine would have been a lot higher had I been in true Val mode...so MFer's don't worry about the numbers!
LK, that whole situation must have been a misguided mistake. I think (speculating) some ppl try to protect KR, as they should, but he has his own mind to want to reach out to ppl, which he did to you, LK.
So put Andy Pandy in your back pocket, and let him kiss your ass all day and night long!!!
You are an angel, and hopefully, you know that. You have the sweetest voice on the planet, and the biggest, prettiest eyes, too (don't worry, I'm not soliciting you or anything. Just call em like I see em. :)

My total bill 1807.24, My bar tab was a little over 1000.00! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! LoL Can't wait till next year! See ya all then Muther Fuckers! 8-)

LK's Soap Box's picture

Carnival cut me a check for $20.00! ; }~ Hey, I tried, but apparently $140.00 in alcohol doesn't suffice! Um, Val & 420, you guys are my heroes!! So nice to meet all y'all.

If only I would have kept one of the laminates I gave to Kid that said, "I cordially invite you to go FUCK YOURSELF!!" and gave it to Andy Levine instead. Still can't get the bad taste out of my mouth for the shit he said, or should I say threatened; and, also for putting the kibosh on the conversation among the four of us: Leroy Virgil, his girl, me and, oh yeah, Kid himself. He even told Cheli (who apparently was in a hurry to get somewhere else) to relax and turned his attention back to our conversation. By luck (and ignorance ; ) I got my thanks in anyway Andy -- Prick City!! Kiss my big fat white Anglo-Saxon ASS buddy!! And now that I see this playback of my video, WOW!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4XX9JiVN1Y

Hmm? Is Kid not surrounded by girls (of course ; )~ But, I'M not allowed to say "Thanks" to the guy?!! WTF?!! !! I didn't even know Kid was there until Leroy from Hellbound Glory (apparently a hometown boy ; ) asked if he could play more songs. Seems that my fatal mistake was acknowledging and thanking Andy when first boarding the ship for thinking up these fun rock n roll chartered cruises. Now, I have other words for him! Hard earned, hard to come by money is right and I'm so pissed that the guy has gotten a "boatload" of $1 bills from me. Looks like a European vacation for me next year instead people. Sure I love KR (but not in a dangerous stalker kind of way, give me a fucking break!!) Those cruises are really a lot of fun, it's just the principle of matter. What a way to do business and treat a customer, a three-time cruiser fuckhead!!

But, I'm not gonna rain on the FUN TIMES parade, so I'll save my fucking tirade.

Instead, I'll share my photos ; )

"See" you on the boards, not on the boat cuz Andy Levine is a MFer!

Our total bill was 700, but we had around 300 in shirts and souvenirs. Sooo, about 400 in alcohol. It was worth every penny.
