Two things...

First, anyone else going?

Tix are gone.

The wife and I are contemplating going. We love Ravinia and this has definite possibilities. I think the tickets were WAY over priced though. We might play the waiting game and see how ebay and stubhub pan out. If you're interested in other offers shoot me a PM.

No one else is going to this? Surprising.

Still think tickets are overpriced, but I'm still watching closely. This is a cool idea from Billy....

Corgan has been such an insufferable douchebag the past few years. I love the Pumpkins early stuff, but really have no desire to go see him or the "Smashing Pumpkins" anymore.

He was on WGN this morning, and I can't blame him for coming off as a prick to the media because most of them are just so stupid, like "how do these people function?" stupid. I'm not a BC fanboy by any means, but usually when I hear him say something that comes off douchey, if I read or listen to the context around it, I agree with his point. The point still remains that for me, MCIS and Adore are incredible albums and the chance to see him play a full acoustic show is a special one. I'm getting more and more excited for this, especially now that he mentioned that it will be a 27-28 song set including a 9-song MCIS set.
