I Hate Concert Conflicts

Aaaargh!
Maybe someone can create an algorithm that tosses around various metrics and parameters (cost, distance, affinity to the band, how many times seen in past, type of venue, weather, domestic circumstances, Q rating of artist, frequency of touring/local appearances, etc etc) that can be used to spit out an answer on what to see when there are multiple great choices.
Or maybe a cloning device?
The frustration of 2+ great events at once just hurts my head sometimes.

Why would you stay home when you have two fantastic opportunities to infect large crowds of people??

Was aware on the latter but not the former. Damn, I was leaning toward Cracker.

Agreed. Working remote the past five years hasn't given me nearly enough opportunity to actually catch a cold, so I should take advantage of this rate opportunity.

My cold worsened throughout the day, and there was no way I was going anywhere other than outside to walk my dog and back inside to watch the Thunder blow out the Cavs. Sad to have missed a great show (and opportunity to meet Hutch(, but glad to have stayed in, and saved Hutch and everyone else exposure to my germs.

Thanks for flagging – the Venn diagram of people interested in those is basically just one circle unless you squint hard enough.
