don't, you agree, that if the article, begins with, fox news, it is a created well written piece of purist propaganda meant to create an emotional state that conforms with the need to feel that mistrust is ok within the system?

Anything is possible.

Sports, sports, sports. 

I know…even in the rollcall thread.

Did some poking around and it appears Sidehatch is right on this one.

Though the prices for standing and seated used to be the same, it appears that most or all of the current shows on the calendar have a higher price for seating.

In regard to standing in front:

Please note that there will be a dance floor for this show and the front row of tables will be cleared out. Be advised that there may be some seated areas where vision of the stage may be obstructed. **** Ticket price includes a champagne toast and gumbo dinner.


FYI: Old 97's did do an appearance at Iota one time. I didn't go, but I remember readind that it was more of a listening party for a new album (where they actually showed up…not sure if they played). So Sidehatch is sort of right on saying theay they've only played shows at 9:30. Rhett Miller has played solo shows at a number of local venues.

I think I'll sit this one out and wait for the next 9:30 Club show.

Sorry I'm too lazy to move this to commentary thread.

First time the've come to town and not play the 930

Don't really love that venue because of all the seats
what is nice is you can buy the cheaper standing room seats then go down to the tiny dance floor and stand in front of the people who paid for the seats in the front

More often than not the tickets are the same price and there are tables all the way towards the stage on the dance floor.  Wouldn't assume that you'll be able to stand in front – worth checking first.

Man…I'm temped to create a 'sidehatch is right' thread
Guess my only fear is by creating it would cement the last time it ever happens again

I love the Hamiton
good beer and food.. they even have pitchers of beer!

oh and they're named after my favorite founding father (well I consider him a founding father)… its great to see Hamilton getting some respect! I need to get one of those shirts…

The Old 97s dont do it for me though… so far there is no really great NYE show jumping out at me..

last year the Hamilton had Dr John for NYE

Well if an anonymous dude in a comments section says its true, I believe it without reservation.

This gamergate bs is getting out of hand.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/10/15/gamergate-feminist-video-game-critic-anita-sarkeesian-cancels-utah-lecture-after-threat-citing-police-inability-to-prevent-concealed-weapons-at-event/

Feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian was forced to cancel a talk that would have taken place tonight at Utah State University after the university received a terror threat from someone claiming they would commit ?the deadliest school shooting in American history? if Sarkeesian gave her lecture.

The threat, e-mailed to Utah State staff by someone purporting to be a student, stated, ?I have at my disposal a semi-automatic rifle, multiple pistols, and a collection of pipe bombs,? according to the Standard Examiner. The letter-writer warned of an attack like the Montreal massacre targeting lecture attendees, faculty, staff and the university?s women?s center and claimed university efforts to step up security would be fruitless.

?One way or another, I?m going to make sure they die,? the letter-writer claimed.

Sarkeesian is a blogger and critic who founded the Web site Feminist Frequency, where she discusses sexist and misogynistic tropes in video games and critiques gamer culture. As escalating threats of death and rape marked Sarkeesian?s tenure as a video game vlogger, she?s been adamant about not allowing them to silence her.

The Utah State threat is just the latest one in the ongoing saga of Gamergate, an increasingly nasty culture war between video-game critics like Sarkeesian and a mob of gamers. (See this post by the Post?s Caitlin Dewey for more.)  Sarkeesian isn?t the only woman who has received death threats in connection with Gamergate. On Friday, game developer Brianna Wu left her home after alerting police that she received a death threat that included her home address. Zoe Quinn, an independent developer who was the original target of Gamergate, was also forced to leave her home because of death threats. In August, the threats grew so severe that Sarkeesian was forced to flee her home too.

I hope nobody around here buys into the whole "ethical journalism" side of the argument.  It is people who want to keep a thing to themselves, and will bully anyone who has a different opinion on what they love.  I am pretty sure a lot of the stuff said about Zoe was disproved (sleeping with writers for good reviews).  I am pretty sure a few YouTube reviewers getting free games early (and disclosing that) is not the issue here. 

Read the comments on ANY article about gamergate on any news site's Facebook page. 

Getting?

It's way out of hand….

Yeah
But nobody on here was talking about it.

I blame, skyrim.
