Voters for Change - DC Finale

[kosmo vinyl]

nosebleed seats here i come  

[Bags]

I got presale seats.  Couldn't get floor though...odd, huh.  $380 for two tickets...

[Bombay Chutney]

looks like my luck ran out  

[ratioci nation]

wouldn't it be better to give $20 to the black cat and just donate $360 to whichever political organization you like    
 
 sorry, i'll shut up now

[Bags]

I've never seen Springsteen, or a bunch of the rest.  What the hell...I like MoveOn, it'll be a cool show (I'm sure they'll all be playing together for most of the show, as none can do a long set of their own in that timeframe, really).  It'll be a bit of a spectacle and, for me, it'll be all feel good politics.

Must be nice to have that kind of money laying around after mortgage payments are made!

 indeed. it's out of touch shit like this that makes the Dems no better than the Republicans in terms of helping out the average working joe

Going to shows, be they inexpensive or expensive, is a choice, and different folks prioritize them differently.  There are often assumptions made here about how much disposable income someone has based on the shows they attend.  Meanwhile, I may give up certain things in order to buy tickets, or maybe I buy double the amount and scalp some for twice face value and go for free, or maybe I have a sugar daddy, or maybe I have a trust fund that can *only* be used to support the arts.  
 
 If a show is more than you'd pay, say that, but why comment on my alleged (and maligned) financial status.  Like Jag -- she wouldn't pay $12.50 for any of those bands, but she never slags.

It's a fundraiser, not a social program.  I'll bet you'd be hardpressed to find a Rep fundraiser, even without actual entertainment, and a price point below $500...

It could be said that Jag doesn't drink Hatorade.

Bags, you are the poster child for conspicuous consumption.

Time to pull the lever for Nader for a third straight election.

I thought the Democrats successfully sabotaged Nader's effort to get on the ballot in Virginia?
