Anybody remember the "good ole days" when you had to pick which show you'd like to attend and fill out the paperwork at the back of the Newsletter? Then you'd send your check back with it.

I think you were only entitled to chose one show back then, right?

- That was pretty cool though.

    I think they had that system as late as the 2003 tour...as well as block seating. Things have changed quite a bit in just a few years. Looking back though, that method seams so primative.

    Yep..there was something karmic about sending the envelop off and waiting for a response. A lot different than sitting over a laptop hitting refresh a hundred times, and then...whadda mean I am not logged in!! yes I am dammit!!! ha ha.
