OK - What do you guys think??

I feel silly even asking this question, but I can't make up my mind!! As most of you know, I had the miraculous good fortune of getting pulled up on stage last tour in my belly dance costume. The question is...should I try this again?
Normally I would say absolutely not, I've had my turn, he's not pulling many people up this time etc etc. That is basically how I feel. However, a couple of people have mentioned to me that someone else got pulled up for MW in a costume this year, so it is within the realm of the possible...so I would hate to let an exciting opportunity pass through my fingers!
The problems are:
1) the stage setup makes it EXTREMELY difficult for pull-uppage. I'd have to be either dead center in the front row, or somewhere on the front outside rail, but they use the walkway very seldom.
2) going on the setlists so far, they will probably do MW on the first night (when I have seats) and not the second night when I have GA. That didn't matter last time, but it does add a layer of complication.
I am bringing my costume to dance for Elevation during the Toronto week anyway....it's just a matter of deciding what to do about this.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Um, lol... I would honestly give someone else another go. Not only that, you can save yourself unnecessary stress with all the logistics of getting pulled up. Enjoy the show and your memories from the first time! Love you!

I agree with April, besides I do not recall him pulling that many girls on stage in Europe to dance with him. Or did he?Posted 09-04-2009 at 02:52 PM by MissVelvetDress_75 -
I think only one or two...and I think one of them was another belly dancer. (It might have been Popmartijn who told me this?) But I am definitely inclined to agree with you.Posted 09-04-2009 at 03:59 PM by Mrs. Edge -
90% of the time I hate when he pulls girls up, because it results in those of us in their vicinity getting pushed, plus you inevitably have the a-holes who insist on getting on their boyfriend's/husband's shoulders 10 times a night and blocking everybody's view.
Every once in a while you get a kind of cool and spontaneous one, but to be honest when I heard that he wasn't pulling women up this time, I felt relieved. In my opinion it doesn't add anything to the show, but then again I don't have any designs on getting up there so maybe I'd feel differently if I was interested in that sort of thing.
Go with your gut instinct.Posted 09-04-2009 at 05:28 PM by anitram -

I sort of agree with April too.
The first time it happened, it was very special. Now maybe if you get all dressed up and don't get pulled up, you'll be bummed after going through all the trouble.
Besides, it's not like you get to dance with The Edge. It's just that Bono character.

Gotta agree with April. And if by some miracle you got pulled up, you can still shake it
