Kick ass time last nite!

JT was pretty damn funny on SNL this weekend.  His portrayal of Ashton Kutcher had me cracking up.  
 
 I couldn't stand his performances (I thought he was out of key during "Rock your Body" and that it's impossible for him to sit still even when on the piano), but I won't deny the fact that the kid has talent.

i agree with you smackie. snl was damn good sat night, well at least the secnd 2/3 that i caught. jt has talent. like him or not, he's got staying power.

Um... to be serious for a moment... it's true that VIPs are usually spectacularly UNimportant in the grand scheme of things, but they're usually important to the band (friends, relatives, associates, groupies) or the club.  So it's kind of a waste of time getting indignant over it.
 
 As a former VIP myself, I find that when I have to mingle with the common people to go to the bar and get drinks, and I catch attitude from some of them as I go back past the velvet rope, I find it quite tiresome.

Ding ding DING!!!!!!
 
 he was great as Jessica Simpson.....But his musical performance had me reaching for the remote it was awe inspiringly bad.
 
 He would make a better comic than pop-star.

 As for the rest of you, you guys are a bunch of haters or something. I just wanted to post something saying I had a good time and you guys have to go and bash it. You bash everything and its annoying as shit. Please get over yourselves. This thread was supposed to be a nice one about the concert, and look what you guys are turning it into.

If you can't beat em, join em

sorry, long day yesterday.  just getting up.  
 
 no major excitement this time.  no drunken midgets, no mass quantities of strippers.  most of my night was spent dealing with scalpers and folks trying to get one over on the club.  
 
 we did have a couple of ladies buy tickets to the jonathan richman show and try to hide out on a toilet in between shows.  unfortunately for them, they were quite obviously not there for mr. richman, and everyone knew it.  i was about to send someone figure out which bathroom they were hiding in when i got a call on the radio that they had been found.
 
 regarding "vip" treatment:  the guest list line was let in at the exact same time as the ticket holders line.  they had a slight advantage by being a little closer to the door.  NOBODY snuck into that line that wasn't supposed to be there.  i checked everyone in that line personally.  
 
 things could not have gone more smoothly last night.  the staph did an amazing job with a tough show, and the crowd left smiling.

I agree, the staff did a great job last nite! I know no one snuck in that line, it just seemed that there were sooo many people in that line. I said that people snuck in like out of frustration, not to bash security or anything. I really do think things went smooth, I'll definatley be back at 930! But like I said, I had a great time... again, thanks 930!

Cindy, it looks as if you are a pretty big JT (your initials) fan.  That's great, but not really my cup of tea or most of the "older" posters on this board's either.  I'm assuming, and please correct me if I'm "way" wrong here, but you're quite my junior.  Anyhow, I'm seriously recommending you check out some of  the upcoming bands like Interpol, Belle and Seb., Yeah yeah yeahs, or some great bands at other places.  Some of the older posters are... well, yeah, quite "hater like", but many have seen more bands than most "JT" fans would ever fathom.  I've seen some bands on the "other side" like NSync and BSB, even though I confess I never really gave them a chance, but at least I witnessed the scene (for lack of a better word).. And yeah, everyone has an opinion, but my opinions about physics aren't nearly as valid as Einstein's.... so be careful who you shout back at.

myuman, great advice for Cindy.   And i agree -- hopefully this is just the beginning of a long career catching live bands and discovering new music because they came threw your town!
 
 thatguy, you raised an issue I have a question about -  you mentioned dealing with scalpers.  I've always wondered about this; fairly often I get stuck with an extra ticket or two (okay, that's *my* issue regarding the need to plan and purchase for a whole group!).  But I've sold tickets in front of the club.  I'd NEVER ask for more than face value, but is this allowed?  The answer may be that it's obvious to you when a regular clubgoer is just getting rid of an extra ticket or so versus 'pro' scalpers, but I've always wondered.
 
 Thanks

[thatguy]

selling tickets for face value is fine.  sometimes we'll even be nice and let you recoup your service charges.  anything more than that is a no-no, and we do our best to keep scalpers away.
