 and if  Pearl Jam ever plays the club, it's going to be VERY interesting in these parts.

You think if we start this as a rumor, it will come true? [/b]

hmmm interesting thought... maybe the band can do a V-Fest kick off show at the club on Thur/Fri so they can be ready for lollapalooza... [/b]

I would love this... [/b]

i could definitely go for a ten club-only 930 show, but it would have to be wednesday 8.1 because i head to chicago the next day [/b]

Maybe they should just do it after Lollapalooza.

 Remember the two kids up front who had no tickets but camped out all day? They got chut out, but tell their story in harrowing detail. Most of us towards the front of the line are either mocked or insulted. Glad they're not bitter!
 
 They have no mention of us all calling tickets.com like 800 times to see if any tickets had been released for them.

Their time would have been better spent hitting refresh all day in a dry office or apartment like I did.  I knew there would be no hope unless you went to the club at the last last minute.  Scalpers and fans alike soon abandon their hope of making money and are usually easier to bargain with.  Ah well.

They also refused to ever walk up and down the line and go "anyone got extras?" All sorts of people got in because people's friends didn't show up, etc. They were kinda idiots.

i don't think these were the same people, but there were two teens that had the lamest "need tickets" sign ever, you couldn't read it from more than 5 feet away.  they walked up and down the line, but didn't talk to anyone.
 
 those kids were good conversation fodder.  at one point we wanted to take up a collection for them - no, not money to buy a ticket, but for a marker so they could make a legible sign.  during a bathroom break i saw them outside the front doors, trying to catch whatever sounds were making it out to the sidewalk.  definitely felt sorry for them, they were obviously "real fans".

I saw those two kids.  One of them (the older one I think) reminded me of the teenage Howard Stern in the "Private Parts" movie.

Replied.

Doesn't that describe about 80% of the males at a Smashing Pumpkins show, and about 50% of the females?

AWESOME, so spot-on... the nose, the hair, the sullen attitude... also looked somewhat like paul pfeiffer (wonder years) with longer hair.

I posted photos of those kids on my Flickr. I hope they got in. Too many old fucks at that show..

  We made it back home to Richmond all safe and sound.  Only saw one scalper scum couple who got two pair of ticekts meet up with the people they sold the guest tickets to for $250 each on evil-Bey.  Scum bastards had the look like they had ZERO desire to be there other than to take someone's $250.  I think they got figured out by the appropriate people...            The show was amazing although I personally didnt get into the acoustic portion all that much.  I'm sure most really thought that part kicked ass.  All in all a pretty damn good evening, but Im tired now and heading to bed!

What did the scalper scum couple look like?  I think I might have been right behind them but can't say for sure. [/b]

He was wearing a Dusquene Football shirt (spelling) she had on sunglasses and some shirt witha  green shirt underneath.  I REALLY hate making judgements about fols prima facia, however knowing for a fact they scalped their extar two for $250 each kind of puts in on another level.  Both looked like they could give a shit less to be there and the only reason they were was because they had to be to get their money.  I was SOOOOOOO tempted to say something like "So $500 that should get y'all enough beer for a few shows huh?", but I could easily see that brewing into big shit and I didnt want to deal with that.  Maybe next time I'll wear a crappy tshirt and have a sharpie.  Then I can just write on it, the people behind me in line are scalpers...      [/b]

I forgot to mention that this was the same guy who was in here catching crap earlier for being a scalper in the thread before tickets started dropping.  He looked like he should have been wearing a shirt that said 'my pussy is bigger than hers' with one of those pointing hand directed towards his 'girlfriend'.  The chick that was with him was such a bitch I wouldn't have talked to her if she was the last woman (I am assuming she was a woman) on earth.  Quite the couple.  They deserved each other.
