Back by (probably fairly un)popular demand, it's time for another time-consuming and shameless humiliating self-promotion, whereby I try and beg and plead for the opportunity to rock out beside some always cool souls - this time in Denver and Detroit; destinations I've never had the chance to see yet, and am looking forward to greatly! For any Torontonians, I will be offering a red carpet limo service (minus the red carpet, and replace limo with Honda Civic) to and from Toronto for the show if that would help!

For those going to Denver: I look forward to a hazy first time in Colorado, and I will bring lollipops for the show!

For those going to Detroit: In exchange for a GA ticket, in addition to the face value, beers, company, line-waiting, and return transportation from Toronto if requested, I will also GIVE (I will not take money) my section 118 8th row ticket (just next to the gap between the GA section and the stage) to anyone of your choice! This person must have a Ticketmaster account so I can do an official Ticket Transfer.

For both shows, I'm happy to wait in line all day. In Brooklyn I did this, and had a blast, but this time I'd like to see what it's like right in front of Eddie!

    The first bump of what I'm sure will be many! Hope to see you all at the Denver and Detroit shows, but I need help :)

    Bump number three. I'm going to try something new. Each bump will be accompanied by what I find a gem of a lyric. Read it or don't read it, I'm still going to do it :)

    An appropriate first lyric for this... "Hold on to the thread"

    Short break from the lyric posts to gain attention here...

    Last night I legitimately had a dream that I woke up and there was a Denver GA ticket next to me on my night table, which was floating (with my bed) up in the clouds. Somehow, in nonsense dream world, the only oddity about this whole scene was that the GA section is 10C only and 10C doesn't distribute tickets beforehand. Coming to this realization, I woke up in a cold sweat, incredibly disappointed. It was great having that ticket for a short while - who wants to make (part of) my dream come true? :D

    BUMP! A more-or-less direct copy from the first post:

    I'm still looking for a GA ticket for either Denver or Detroit!

    For those going to Denver: I look forward to a hazy first time in Colorado, and I will bring lollipops for the show!

    For those going to Detroit: In exchange for a GA ticket, in addition to the face value, beers, company, line-waiting, and return transportation from Toronto if requested, I will also GIVE (I will not take money) my section 118 8th row ticket (just next to the gap between the GA section and the stage) to anyone of your choice! This person must have a Ticketmaster account so I can do an official Ticket Transfer.

    For both shows, I'm happy to wait in line all day. In Brooklyn I did this, and had a blast, but this time I'd like to see what it's like right in front of Eddie!
