In my overzelous attempt to rid myself of this ticket by any means necessary, I accidentally picked up another in the row directly ahead. So now I have 2 tickets. They are singles but could easily pass for a pair. I am still desperately trying to make it up there but its looking very bleak.
If you want to buy my single ticket at full price ($80), I will throw in the extra for free. If you want to give me a ride from the Los Angeles area to Fresno and back, you can get a single ticket for free. If you want to give me a ride AND $30 you can still get the pair. Tickets have always never been anything more than a minor detail when it comes to my attendence at concerts.
However, my film school friend with the video camera is still very interested in making the movie. I am sure I could squeeze a 12 pack out of him if I told him we were going to be lighting a whole pair on fire. We could either light the whole pair at once with a new or modified script or use both scripts I wrote for each ticket.

This problem has worsened...
If you sold both tickets, you wouldn't go to the show, correct?
It's hard to follow the bouncing poster! |

If I sold both tickets it would only mean I currently don't have any tickets. I don't really care if I go to the show or not. |

Why did you buy a second ticket? Didn't getting the first one you didn't want teach you anything? |

Right. This is why I never buy concert tickets at all to begin with. I was playing chicken on Ebay and got it super cheap.
Actually Greyhound is looking quite convenient, can even come back the same night, still goofing around with it before I make a final decision. However, this one is sure blowing a big ass hole in my $11 per concert average for the rest of the year.
If anyone shows up ticketless and I make it to Fresno without a companion ($27 companion fare on Greyhound) I might just trade the stupid thing for beer or a ride to the bus station. |

This is definitely a saga...I missed the earlier parts to the story. What movie is your friend shooting?
Dan, you're bound to find someone who will give you a ride for a free ticket. Hell, I would have driven you to San Francisco for a free ticket.
Btw, how do you live in L.A. without a car? |

The movie where I light the ticket(s) on fire because no one wants them

NOW you tell me! I wanted to see the SF shows more than any other!

Other than the occassional concert, I don't really go anywhere or do anything. I live a few minutes away from work (on foot). It also saves me from doing lots of stupid things I would rather not do ("Gee I would really love to Uncle Snarley's 8th Anniversary party but I don't have anyway out there...") |

Ain't that the truth! There have many times when I'm driving through Hollywood and see somewhere I want to stop but there is nowhere to fuckin park, so I don't stop. |

I live right by downtown Burbank, bordering L.A. on 3 sides and 219.1 miles away from me.
Why Gazza, you thinking about it? I am still bummed about missing you last time. |

LOL..no (I'm off to London this weekend for Dylan however), but I know someone in San Bernardino County who was priced out of the LA shows...I'll contact them in case they can help you out
yeah, I would have liked to have seen you when I was in LA 3 years ago. Everything happened at very short notice on that trip, unfortunately but I had a wonderful time. |

One of these days I will go to Belfast for a Therapy? gig.
Dude, if you're friend wants to go to Fresno let me know. I am hitting several different angles at once right now but its definitely worth a shot. He can even ask the stranger who drove me to Phoenix in 2003 for a reference. |

Dan - I made a phone call and checked that out and unfortunately she cant make it as its too short notice, but thanks anyway. Had the show been a week or two away, she'd probably have bitten your hand off for the ticket(s)
Make a point of getting over here sometime. I'll make it worth your while.
Thanks again and hope you manage to get rid of the tickets OK |

Thanks for the effort! Probably going to take Greyhound. Funny how almost no one seems to be interested in this show, even for free. Wonder if thats the Metallica effect? |

Fresno is getting a lot of big acts at that arena. Did the city get a major population/demographic boost? |

I think Dan should get a scooter, and ride the scooter to Fresno. Tie the scooter down, and go to the show.
Go, Dan, Go!  |

MY TICKETS ARE SOLD!!!!!
Still gonna be there though, I have to go to Fresno to sell the, but I will need just one ticket and have a bit more money to play around with. Dont think I will have any trouble finding something though just hope the unsuccessful EBayers actually turn up with the tickets looking for a best offer.
There is a Shidoobee party in the Tony Roma banquet room but I am trying to find out where that is. Looking forward to seeing everybody there! |
