I wonder if they tried to use champagne with gold flakes to put out the fires 

[i am gay and i like cats]

what are you . . . mad?

clearly, richard and his guests attempted to help by pouring gold with champagne flakes on it.

Fuck. Does this mean Virgin Mobile rates are going up?

Hey hey board buddies-

Are you planning a meet-up at FreeFest at all this year? If so, maybe I can join! You can all yell at me IRL.

Also: we're running a contest on Facebook. Airfare + VIP Passes + Hotel!

I'm up for a meetup! I've never met anyone from the 9:30 Club board and I'll probably be attending on my own this year.

So how does the will call work with freefest? I was just going to get me tickets the day of but then I noticed this at the bottom of my confirmation email:

"Available for pickup starting 9/2. No charge. General admission tickets not picked up by close of business on 9/8 will be released to the general public on 9/9"

So I have the week before the fest to get them or else they toss mine? Or am I misreading this?

meetup: we'll organize one once the schedule is published. we need to pick a time that works for most people, a.k.a. a lull in the schedule that will maximize how many people can make it.  location will be the 932, of course

So I have the week before the fest to get them or else they toss mine? Or am I misreading this?

that's exactly right.  if you selected will-call as your delivery, you need to pick up the tickets at the club or at MPP by the thursday before the festival.  otherwise, you lose 'em.

Sweet! Keep me posted.

I don't see this.  I'd be happy to enter...

I also didn't realize you folks were at Outside Lands.  I could have collected this boards messages of ill-will and delivered them in person.

[TFlyAmy]

Maybe because you already like us!

Yeah, we had a pre-Outside Lands party! You could have delivered them directly to the whole team while drinking and playing skeeball!

That would be the case.

Thanks for the link - oh, and that phone number is not for personal use.

[TFlyAmy]

Don't you worry!

Have any tickets been mailed out yet? I won a pair and Virginmobile said they would be mailed in August. Nothing yet?

[sweetcell]

during the presale & onsale, we had the choice of print-at-home or will-call.  for 99.5% of attendees, mailing tickets won't be happening, so you're on your own big papi.
