btw, good show tonight at the synagogue, what a great venue and band of artists.
cale, i'm not complaining you giving out free tix. i'm complaining about you asking people to be dancing monkeys to earn your tickets under unspoken arbitrary rules. despite your spam here, you get only a handful of people actually try for tix to each of your blog contest posts. either few people follow those links or many do but refuse to be your dancing monkey. so either stop spamming or improve the contest conditions, eg random winner selection.
think of it this way -- if you "offer free tickets" time after time and each time the same six or seven people respond, half winning the tickets, in what way are you "offering free tickets?" you're actually "giving tickets away to the same six or seven people and inviting the rest of us to watch the spectacle."
