You're under the impression "middle-aged iconoclastic hipster" isn't cliche?

Boo Hoo. I really want to know what tickets these were. I have a feeling this thread could get even better if it were revealed.

Hahahaha. We've got a comedian in the house. Look out Margaret Cho, he's going to take your gigs.

Another funny guy. Maybe they'll book you for a roll (sic) in the next Dumb and Dumber.

If you can believe it, I've been burned the other way -- a buyer from Craigslist who never showed up.  This was for the sold-out DAR Pixies show, really good seats, and we could have sold them to dozens of people.  UNTIL a few minutes before the show, however, which is when we decided we couldn't wait anymore for the buyer we'd promised the tickets to and instead had to try to sell them any way we could.  By that time, too late.  It was infuriating and I wanted to harrass the hell out of the bitch, posting a warning on Craiglist and anywhere to never do business or trust her, but friends with cooler heads prevailed.

I hear ya. My story aint as bad as yours, but it still stinks. We offered a sold out ticket to a guy at face value, and he was 40 minutes late, causing us to suffer through 40 minutes of Grammy nominated music at a Starbucks that we had no intention of hanging around.

Those are both really bad. I don't know why people agree to buy tickets they're going to bail on later, or why people would be so late without getting in touch with you to let you know they were stuck in traffic or something.
 
 As for my situation, all has been made well, courtesy of one of the nicest people ever. Though, mind you, KT, if we ever meet...it might not end well.

Let me make sure I have this straight -- When you do it, it's deemed "venting," but when someone else does it, it's labeled "whining?"

 If they're a boardie, flog away.

Or you could simply stop clicking on the topic, which would aleve you of pending problems with the number of posts on a particular topic.
 
 Afraid you're going to miss something?

Had he stopped at 20 posts, he would have missed two very viable ZINGs delivered at Rhett's expense.

He's afraid he's going to miss a chance to complain about people complaining.  Or miss the chance to "vent" about people "whining."  Or, perhaps, whine about people venting....
