Rumor: Smashing Pumpkins at 9:30 Club July 10th

Best indie rock video of all time? (see 3:23)
I've seen the setlists for this tour and I'm wondering why they're not doing "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans". I know it's not a "hit" but it's one of my faves from Mellon Collie…what are your wishes?

Pre-Asheville it was The Aeroplane Flies High, then I was there when they played it for the first time. Now I'd like Porcelina, Quiet, Snail, Frail & Bedazzled, Pennies, or Thru The Eyes Of Ruby.
Did they have posters for sale at Asheville? Do they usually do posters?

They had a Zeitgeist/SP flag poster for sale for $20 but the venue was giving away free a much more awesome poster at the end of every show.
What else did the have at Asheville merch wise? Oh, and how much?
lots of shirts and they were all expensive (like $35 and up)
Anyone going to watch the Pumpkins on Letterman tonight??
Wow. They really fucking rocked. Cute bassist. Is that Linda Strawberry on keys?
Is that Linda Strawberry on keys?
No. Thank god.

Still hoping to snag tickets tomorrow. If I don't, or the powers that be don't make it work, it will be my first missed pumpkins show of the east coast, midwest and a bit of Europe since 1996. Just saw my 47th show July 3rd. Yes, I am crazy. You people are all talking about your Pumpkins collections. I tell you, it was an obsession. You cannot begin to fathom…When Zwan surfaced, I recovered. After two Asheville shows, the bug is back!!!

I would love to hear crying tree of mercury, eye, here is no why, mayonaise, lazy eye, and rusted wheel.

I kid….I kid….

No. Be serious. That's a law. Do you really want to be the 6'+ a-hole in the front that everyone can't see over? A little respect, please. If you've been genetically blessed than it's your duty to stand in the back. I've never NOT been in the back for a club show.

I have 5 shoe boxes full of VHS Pumpkins tapes. For serious.
Oh, dear. What an unfortunate use of videotape.

i was on the tickets.com site at 9am friday and kept clicking refresh until i was put into a damn waiting room and then finally updated with a sold out sign…..
so did all of you seriously just get your tickets by pure luck?
Just because you have old VHS tapes makes you think you're their biggest fan?

I dunno I think my 14 year old dog named "Corgan" has you beat ;)

Well, everyone but Miss P. She flirted her way into hers. Everyone esle was luck or whining.
actually. after being contacted through flirting my way in and having a 'date'…i was able to pick up a pair the fair way a la tickets.com this morning and politely declined the offer. thank you.
I wanted to post some catchy retort to this but alas my brain misfired so this is all I could come up with…

Well done.
…there should be more tickets released at 11:30 like yesterday, RIGHT?!

I've been trying all day. Nothing's happening though.
Same here. This sucks.
I am hoping that DC101 did not give away all the tickets that they were given and then Tickets.com will put them up for sale but no word yet. I think that the "win a pair of tickets each hour" used up a lot of tickets. It was damn near impossible to call Roche yesterday.
Why wouldn't DC101 use up all their tickets??
