Passbook enabled tickets. I don't want to hear any whining from idiots about minute details like being unable to handle traffic when you can't do simple things like paperless tickets.

If it were on Ticketmaster all the scalpers would have gotten tickets instead of you. Mission Tix was all messed up for Neutral milk Hotel at 2640 space and thankfully for me they were or I probably wouldn't have gotten tickets.

Kind of surprised about this over Phish tickets. I thought pot mellowed you out and gave you the munchies not made you all pissy and bitter.

You are assuming this is about Phish tix, just like I assume you are a fucking asshole piece of shit.

Wow, lots of love there for a guy who to my knowledge has never personally attacked you, whoever you are.

Yeah, this only seems like a problem for people who didn't get tickets.

Wasn't an attack, just a false assumption analogy…that's all.

There was no assumption, it was a logical deduction based on the 2nd post in the thread. So if it was not about Phish I take it that it was about a band with real talent…

I didn't see anything that needed defending nor anything that was.

Now that this is all wrapped up, can we move on to complaining about the line at Starbucks? I mean, come on! 5 people ahead of me?!? What the hell were they thinking?

I just wonder why it is so hard these days to find just a plain old cup of coffee. You know, one with no espresso, frappe, twist, sprinkles, flavoring, or whatnot. Sad to think that one of the few places left where you can actually order and get coffee is waffle house! :)

I'm not a coffee drinker, but why wouldn't you just make it yourself?

I don't drink coffee but I've thought that a fun experiment might be to go to a Starbucks or similar establish and simply (and obstinately) say "I'd like a cup of coffee, please." Politely respond to any of their questions about what kind and size with the same request, over and over again until served "a cup of coffee". See what you get.

I go to Starbucks almost daily and ask for a "medium coffee". I've never had any issues.
