And the foo thread comes down. What oh what could have happened over there to bring a whole thread down?
Geez, same old same old.
Was this the same issue we had the stink with the HFS.com folks over??
[PS, I am in no way trying to continue a flaming war, but I think discussing the premise of the argument is valuable, and fun...]

I'll bet someone thinks this thread is about the wee one, Prince!

The general premise of journalistic ethics is the same, yes, however the details are different. In the BigYawn/HFS story, a website was reprinting made up rumours (which were created on the HFS board simply to see who would pick up the story) and passing it off as legitimate information they had received through a source without crediting who they had taken it from. In this case, a website was passing on 100% factual information and cited their source. Strangely enough, some people on here tell you situation #1 is fine and dandy, and #2 is abhorrent, but I think they've drank the hipster kool-aid.

Hey y'all, Robbie Fulks is on the Today Show tomorrow!!!

Ah, yes. I just forgot...this whole blog thing is an interesting animal. What are the standards, are there any standards, how do bulletin boards fitn the blogosphere, etc.
As to the presale issue, I know I'm over pretty far on one end of this spectrum. I am that odd animal that doesn't forward the email to friends. I will PM someone here who didn't get the email (which is probably a slippery slope, I understand).
These presales are always such cluster%^&@s, so it makes sense to me that you try to keep the passwords as limited as you can, reasonably.
I know this is in fact a probably unreasonable desire, but it's my opinion. I'm a pretty big rule follower. You should see my Myers-Briggs score!

Have you decided whether to laud the appearence since it's Robbie Fulks or bash it incessantly since it's the Today show?

can i gloat now? it would be the elist hipster prick thing to do....

It would probably be more controversial to bash it on the Robbie Fulks board and laud it here, right?

LOL, yeah, that sounds like the Xavier Bush I know.

K -- "owned" and "not anyone in this thread" -- you're being as cryptic as the midget dream sequence from Twin Peaks.

What would make it even juicier is that Fulks posts on his own chatboard. But he's one guy I wouldn't want to get into a battle of wits with. Puts everyone on this board to shame.

The real problem is that presales are hardly presales anymore. Putting elitism aside, when everyone is in on it then it simply becomes a staggered ticket sale.
The same thing happened a few years ago when everyone started to get broadband. More people buying tickets online and less getting screwed by standing in line at Tower Records.
Call it elitism if you like, I call it being clever enough to stay one step ahead.
I wonder what the next step will be? I see more artists going the route of Depeche Mode, who made you pre-order their CD to get a unique password. That's not a bad thing I guess since presales should be for the "diehard fans".

You should get your wife to argue with him, then stick up for her on there, and defend her on here! How iconoclastic you'd be!

I, too, see that happening more often. I know if I really liked an artist, I would pre-buy the album to get better seats when they come around. Hell, Pearl Jam has been getting people to stay on their pay fan club for years for little reason other then priority ticketing.

So are any of you lads disappointed when you find out a chick is a spitter and not a swallower?

I realize spitting the seeds is a little uncouth, but sometimes that is just what you have to do when eating watermelon. Can anyone beat 18' 4"?

This only bothers me post-bukkake.

My wife never would have married me if I were that well endowed.

It really wouldn't be all that hard to generate unique passwords for each member....
And is there really even a password? I seem to recall people entering anything for the Dandys presale.

They fixed it after a few hours, I believe.

I'm hoping my wife give me the secret password for my member, soon.

I had the access code for her last night, if you know what I mean! :p

Has a thread related to the Foo Fighthers disappeared? If so, this only shows the excellent musical taste of the board administrators. Thanks a lot for freeing us from these awafully sickening bands.

Speaking of sickening prospects, how about you and I go back to your place? I've never done it with a Spanish chick before. Ooooo-lay!

AARGH. I got an access code and everything, and then it kicked me out due to "high volume". Now tix are gone. Bitter... :mad:

Given your generally repulsive personality, I doubt you've "done it" with any chicks at all.

got through and got my 2 tix ... bags, hope you got yours ...

Really? I heard there will be a story on The Grand Ole Opry. Hmm. Maybe they'll show Robbie for a second. ;)

"Generally repulsive"? That's harsh. I like to think I'm only "often repulsive" but to go as far as generally? That's hurtful, â?¢, hurtful.
-
No luck -- actually I was trying for someone else, a friend got two tickets so I will be AT THE SHOW! And frickin' thrilled.
I'm glad at least a few forum loons got tickets. Chutney needs one (actually he needs two!!!)

There are a number of things that YOU could legitimately mock and critique people for on this board. Someone else's allure to women is not one of them.

And you're so often really lucky in these things.... There may be other opportunities. Guess I'll go back and listen to DC101 again...[Jon Ballard's giving tickets away every 10/1 minutes this aftenoon]

Yeah - I'm usually pretty lucky at these things, but I guess my luck ran out. Oh well. :(

I'm sorry, I was just restating an argument my wife once used in regard to ggw. Not my original thought, but I couldn't help myself from using it.

Given what she married, I take her opinion on this matter as the highest compliment.

Foo Fighters at 9:30 club and tickets.com = disaster.
I know ticketmaster is supposedly the devil and all when it comes to ticket sellers, but at least they have the technology backbone to back them up.
Oh well.

Pardon me, good sir, but this thread has deteriorated into insulting other board members physical appearence. Please take your semi-intelligent commentary to another thread.

and here it comes, what i was looking forward to while rowing home... some post presale fury!!! got the lazyboy in recline, a cool beverage on hand, some suntan lotion, life is good.
we all know who we can blame over that 10 seconds less it took for the presale to take place... right?

Is that the cue to post Martin Austermuhle's home address and phone numbers?

Seth? Tickets.com? Rhett? BadSushi? Kosmo? DCist?
You know, the usual suspects...

folks your letting me down, there's more mudsling over at dcist...
fyi posting about "secret" shows is one thing, posting passwords a whole another story...
everyone seems to forget that the beastie boys show was done in a similiar fashion, radio stations get promotional shows all the time in which to give tickets away to. and didn't Grohl swear his alligence to HFS earlier this year? god damned sellout...
-
Originally posted by kosmo vinyl:

How can you be disappointed in us? You took down the initial thread that was so full of heat...

actually more mudsling about the quick sellout, and i didn't take down the HOTT thread...

Don't remember that. Seems fair: one show played for each station.
