OK, let's get down to making amends: June 17, 2008 at 05:55 PM UTC #

First, all the women of the board can consider this my official apology for language used in another thread against a cherished female boardie. Completely out-of-line.

As a way of making amends, I am offering to buy any female boardie who was offended 2 tickets to the non-sold out 9:30 club show of their choice. Simply PM me before 2pm on June 24th, 2008 with your show choice and mailing address and I will make the necessary arrangements.

The following restrictions apply:

This offer is only good for currently scheduled shows at the 9:30 Club, not Merriweather or Virgin Mobile Festival or any other IMP shows.</li>
The show cannot be sold out.</li>
The cost of said show cannot exceed $25 per ticket + ticket charges.</li>
The boardie may be asked for proof that they are a female (i.e. a myspace account or tasteful photo), if such is not obvious from their username, since I have already demonstrated I am not aware of who is male or female on here.</li>
All female users requesting free tickets must be registered, regularly-posting members of this board prior to June 17th, 2008. Guys cannot get their girlfriends to register simply to scam me out of tickets.</li>
I am absolutely not responsible for mix-ups at the club's will-call window or non-delivery by the US Postal Service.</li>
I absolutely reserve the right to deny this offer to any boardie for any reason I see fit.</li>

I'd totally go to Spiritualized in drag if you buy me a ticket.

Edit: kidding

Thanks for fixing that. I don't see how any lady would not forgive those two similing gents.

First you call a woman a bitch and now …in an effort to make up for it, you you're attempting to buy off the women of the board? Wow. Wow. Wow.

'Here honey, have some money… now now. That's better, isn't it?'

[plz note, i'm actually kidding. but i hope no woman actually takes you up on this because it really is a bit insulting.]

I just hope you all remain this vigilant for fair and equitable treatment of women all the way through November when you vote against Obama.

I was unaware Obama was a wannabe sugar daddy calling women bitches. But now that you mention it…

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

You know, I felt this was a nice gesture, Miss P. Talk is cheap, but I'm choosing to put my money where my mouth is. I supported fair treatment for women when I donated money and campaigned for Hillary, and I'm doing it now.

If I offended someone I knew in real life, I don't consider it out-of-line, or sugar daddy-esque to apologize and perhaps give them a gift as an act to try and show I still value their friendship. It's the same here: I'm sorry and I value the contributions of our female boardies so I don't want them mad at me. You can take it at face value or not, that's your prerogative.

Ugh, you people are so frustrating. I'm trying to do something nice and you're all acting like I'm a jerk. :(

I know you're going to find this hard to believe, but in spite of my male sounding screen name, I am a woman.

And I was offended. You calling a woman a "bitch" is as offensive to me and my fellow females as Vansmack's strip club stories are.

I'll be thinking about which show I want tickets to.

You're right, I voted against Hillary PRECISELY because she is a woman.

If only she was a black woman…

i hereby declare June 17th to henceforth be known as "WEBLEBRITY is a bitch" day, because, let's face it, it really can be. the appropriate form of celebration is to buy tickets for a woman you've recently insulted. the official drink of "WEBLEBRITY is a bitch" day is a gin & tonic. currently accepting submission for the official "WEBLEBRITY is a bitch" day theme song (with "the bitch is back" being the obvious front-runner).

happy bitch day!

I'm switching my vote to the Ben Folds version of "Bitches ain't sh!t" from the Dre version I posted in the other thread.
