Nice one smackie.....I never bitched, but then again I never went....coincidence?  :D  
 
 How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb?
 
 51....1 to change the bulb, 10 to complain, 10 to write a complaint, 10 to return the blown bulb and 20 to file suit.

I told a friend, no matter what anyone did to accommodate everyone, they would complain. Just the way this town is. You guys got free pizza and got to watch break-dancing. ;)  (btw, where is flawd?) Concert-going, travel scheduling and Mother Nature is not an exact science. I'm sure the guys were complaining at the airport as you all were for their arrival. I still figure they will be back around here for another show soon. (Oh, I did bitch about the banner, but I would complain about it yesterday or today.)

 They bitched that the band was late.
 
 They bitched because the band made poor travel plans. [/b]

I went.  Got tickets at the presale.  Drove up from Richmond.  Sttod in line for a long time. Got rained on.  Showed my ID.  Was searched (well if you want to call it that).  Got inside.  Sat at the upstairs bar stools.  Drank cokes and ate pizza.  Saw a show.  Hung out at the back bar.  Drove home.  Oh yeah I saw a show and had a good time.
 
 The guys at the club had their shit together.  They wanted to minimize the scalpers thing (among other things) and it appears they did it for the most part.  I would have liked to have seen a longer show, and it maybe the whole thing did take a lot more effort than the show I saw, but it was good and I had a blast.
 
 See y'all the next time I venture up 95.

there was free pizza???
 
 shit...i shouldn't have left in search of cheaper beers
 
 actually, i don't care if i missed the free pizza...if there were free beer i'd be mad
 
 but all in all, i thought everything at the club was run in a fair and efficient manner...it sucked that the band was late, but whatever, gives you a good story to tell..i had a good time

most bands would've bailed as soon as their flight was cancelled - and these guys went and got on a train
 
 I was very impressed

If you weren't blown away by 40 mins of BB you must be an idiot...they are one of the most influential bands that have ever recorded, and nothing short of creative genius's. They only release fun party songs as singles just to keep their talents a secret from the masses, and only the chosen few get to hear the real work of these masters of sampling. Shame on you for expressing anything less than god-like worship about this trio. [/b]
Bollocks.....you ROOL!!!!!   :D

You know, this is funny; at least, to me. Oddly enough, after drinking my 3rd cup of English tea today I couldn't help but wonder if, in general, the average Englishman has to pee more often than the average American. What with all the beer and tea they drink! Those two beverages always make me pee more than many other liquids. Is this why they are always taking the piss out of each other? Or why they call a drinking bout a pisser?

I've heard that it's actually all EMI discs.  I've also heard that it's only non-US copies.
 
 I have no idea if either of those are true.
