The Darkness Announced!!

[kosmo vinyl]

the darkness are hypemasters wet dream... the young want to see because the band is deemed cool, the middle aged balding guys want to rock again...
 
 i suggest registering on the darkness site for any future presales...
 
 and hell yes $75 is to much, save the money and see several shows... go see The National, British Sea Power, The Von Bondies.  these bans will put out significant product down the road.  the Darkness are just the newest version of Andrew WK or the Strokes.  will anyone really give a rats arse about the second record?  maybe if they pullout of mothballs the songwriting team responsible for Sweets hits.

Does anyone remember when the Caps made the playoffs and Dot-Com Teddy wrote a computer program that disallowed Penguins fans from buying tickets for games at the MCI Center?
 
 Someone should do that for other venues here in the area. Most of the eBay Darkness tickets are out-of-town scalpers.

let's face it, the state of ticket sales in this country *sucks*.  Scalpers, ticketbastard, free market capitalism...
 
 My personal favorite is the "shipping fee" for will call tickets.

i met this guy at a U2 concert a couple years ago.  He had quit his job to follow them around the country...he was funding his trip by scalping U2 and Britney Spears tickets on Ebay.

i'll bet that most of the scalpers leisurely got their tickets through the presale, if there was a presale.  presales don't benefit the true fan anymore, seeing as there are sites you can pay money to that reportedly track such things.  basically presales suck

Some dude on Craigslist claims to have 20 tickets.

Screw the Darkness.  John Edwards tix are going for two benjis apiece.

Yep. I remember that. (Nothing like when abe sold group tickets to the Detroit fan club in the 98 finals before the general public here.)
 
 Oh well, at least I didn't camp out for days like in the old days. Staking out a website for an hour in the morning is nothing. I'm just bummed that I couldn't get tickets.

Isn't DC just a southern Pittsburgh colony?    
 
 News about Pitt vs Georgetown @ the MCI Ctr on Tuesday:
 
 "Pitt erased an eight-point deficit and turned the tables in a 68-58 victory before 11,876 fans, about half of them Pitt fans..."
 
 "with 12 seconds remaining, the Pitt contingent chanted "Let's go Pitt" making it seem like a game at the Petersen Events Center."
 
 I remember many Caps/Pens games even back @ the old Cap Ctr where it felt like a home game for the visiting team.

Kinda like a 3rd rate Spinal Tap IMHO

Yeah, only Spinal Tap isn't on MTV, VH1, and the radio right now.  
 
 I expect the crowd to be filled with poppy people... (unlike the crowd at the re-release of This Is Spinal Tap in theatres, what was it, 3 years ago?)
