yep. those were fun nights.
 
 or having the inside scoop on some obscure ticketmaster outlet in your area...like at some local university...or a Peaches Records that recently opened and no one knew it also sold concert tickets yet...

How about the time I worked with Patti Smith's brother down in Richmond?

Luckily, I'm the boss (sorta) and as long as I don't abuse it, I can come in a little late if need be, or leave early. I know that's not the case for everyone. Just remembering a less stressfull time...

Hey, like you didn't see that coming from a mile away?  I have a role to fill here, man, and I'm not about to start letting people down!  

[kosmo vinyl]

well i think most of the big arena shows still sell on the weekend, and i believe camping out for tickets is an option.  although most ticket outlets discourage it.

shame i had to fixed that pesky registration problem last night...
 
 i wont apologize for being cynical and a bit callous, it's part of who i am.  to all those new forum members here's a invitation to stick around.  you'll have to get use to the behavior of the forum regulars as we're all a bit inbred.  we are always looking for new gladitors will to take on the rest of lions.  there have been special perks passed on to forum members in the past and rumoured to be more.  perks including a special pixies presale, free tickets and drinks at the curiosa concert, and getting to watch a certain unamed forum member drink his way through the backbar at a private party.
 
 full disclosure other than occasionally djing at the 9:30 and fixing the forum when it breaks, i'm not an employee of the club.

all you nasty little "junior members" with your two posts complaining about not getting tickets at PRESALE that you somehow feel entitled to? Come on. The presale is a favor that 930 does to reward regulars and serious fans. Oh, you didn't get tickets?? Boo hoo, let's just throw the baby out with the bathwater. Let's complain until the club says "you know what? it's not worth it." then nobody will have a chance.
 
 bottom line?
 shut up, whiners.  

aren't you a self-important little twit!  being a "member" as opposed to "junior member" somehow makes your POV more valid?  i wasn't aware of the 930 caste system.

I love presale days.

So forum membership is the only reliable indicator of how long we've been "serious fans"?  That's a pretty weak assumption.

Chimbley, it's not my fault that Richmond sucks for live music.  We barely get anything.  And, the ABC board runs a pretty tight boat due to some really backward early 20th century laws.  Fortunately, there are two new major clubs opening up, so maybe that'll bring the "big names" to town.  Then, I can stop polluting the air in your shithole of a town.
