This week rollcall

Mikal Cronin et al on Friday.

I had no idea Kylesa was playing. Depending on what's going on at home, I might walk up to the Hotel to see that. I'm assuming it's not sold out.

Off to Rancid, got the VIP tickets for $30.

Scalpers lose again.


:o :o :o

Mikal Cronin is so badass, like a more fun Brendan Benson.  When does he go on tonight?  Might take a while to get there from Nats Park.

EDIT: nevermind, it's sold out

Hoya, I have an extra ticket. PM me if you want to try and arrange something.

And he will probably be on at 12.

Ugh
That is just painful when I know my kids and dog will be smacking my shoulder at 6:30 tomorrow morning

He didn't even make it on that early. Just got home.

Plus they ran out of vinyl.  :'(

I would think he will be back sooner than later.  I had to give my ticket away due to a family event, so i am hoping I can still catch him at a small venue show and not have to see him at a fest.

Buddy Guy tomorrow

Awww, we could have met up.

My friend offered me an extra ticket for free, but lack of interest and show burnout caused me to turn him down.

Heart (really Ann Wilson in my case)

Stones tonight!  Fingers-crossed for good seats, but I'll be happy with whatever we get.

Another day of battlin' scalpers for me. I'm confident I'll get a good pair at a good price at some point. Will report back!

Just a few maybes for the week:

Monday - Hospital Ships/Lorelle Meets the Obsolete at Sunshine District
Wednesday - Dax Riggs at Rock and Roll Hotel
Thursday - White Laces/Gross Ghost at Black Cat
Saturday - 4Knots Fest in NYC (i probably will reschedule my bus pass for some other date since Vas cant go with me anymore)
or
Saturday -  MICKEY FREE + RAPDRAGONS + HEMLOCK ERNST. (Future Islands) + EZE (Soul Cannon) at Metro Gallery
Sunday - Locrian at Metro Gallery (my only definite for the week, and I cant wait!!!)

i just pulled 5th row, section 100s, close to stage and incredible seats

total cost  -  1280.00, before fees.

for the stones

and they can go fuck themselves

If you charge triple figures, you can go fuck yourself. If you charge four, you need to die in a fire.

you guys….the naivete!


all they've done on this tour is take the scalpers out of the game by charging what the scalpers would have charged had the Stones priced them below market.. at the same time they've incorporated a new thing where they sell a lot of seats for $$85 and when you get there they tell you where you sit (basically filling in the unsold seats- many of them $600 seats- with people who paid $85)..  most of the pit is made up of $85 tickets….

having said that most people who pay $85 won't get good seats… but there are by now enough stories from the tour to establish that you have a chance for a $600 "seat" spending $85…all comes down to luck

I'm hoping to show up this evening and get a pair of those $85 seats from the box office window due to the fact that there are so many empty seats for this show. It's been happening in many other cities.

Hey cool! We finally agree on something. How about that!
