Kanye Travel Ventures?
I’m completely perplexed. Kanye West has a travel site. A floating flash-animated blimp on kanyeuniversecity.com invites readers to “fly away with Kanye.” At first we thought it was a hoax, a late April Fool’s day gotcha. I mean, a Kanye shopping site, now that’s something that would make perfect sense (dude clearly loves his designer duds), but travel?
However, my co-worker Lee managed to find an incredibly affordable Austin to Seattle roundtrip ticket for $198 ($224 including taxes and fees) on the somewhat buggy site. Apparently, he’s trying to capitalize on his massive international fan base to buoy this new venture. Stranger things have happened.
Closer to home, there are still plenty of tickets available for Kanye’s April 30 Erwin Center show, which also features Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. I can’t wait.
