Life's not that bad.

A band you have loved for 20 years....still exists.

I have a hard time accepting the sell out label. At this point - what do they have to gain. They tour, because they enjoy playing together. We go - because we like to listen to them.

The fact that there are more 10C members than 10C tickets isn't really their fault. Something's got to give.

Beleive me kids - there are MUCH worse problems to have.

I find this video rather appropriate

....although the endless threads complaining about this, and the ensuing locks have been quite entertaining.

Congrats to those who scored tickets. Enjoy the shows. Hope to see you in Toronto.

    agreed.
    i have np with pj or 10c.....and i HAVE much worse problems currently, so my perspective is right on. however, this is meant to bring happiness, not frustration. let someone else handle the sales, it just gets worse. i am looking out at a gorgeous day instead of being outside....and for what? i just rather know if i am sut out or not within an hour rather than hours and hours. c'est la vie....
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I just took a break to eat a mango. It was really, really good. Life's not that bad.

    Nice post! How many people can say that they've loved a band for this long and are still able to enjoy new music from them on a regular basis? I'd say we're pretty lucky :)

    I'm sure there's a dude in Joplin, Missouri trying to get Pearl Jam tickets and can't because, for some reason, his Internet connection is out.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do
