ok so yesterday I find out that Social Distortion is coming to town (I thought my friend was lying to be a dick till he asked me to get him a ticket). so today got my social D ticks so fucking Jacked for that, then tonight when I'm on my break at work I notice my same friend called, thinking it was him seeing if we got tickets-funny thing every other city on the tour has a presale today and tickets on thursday but for whatever reason Edmonton has no presale and tickets go on sale today, but the radio keeps saying that it's not till thursday-but no that's not it at all. He tells me that FUCKING DINOSAUR JR. are coming. so my shit town gets Social D and Dino Jr announced in the course of like 2 days. so jacked.

edit-oh yeah the Leafs won as well.

    Funny you should metion Lupo's because when I saw The Foos and Pavement back to back it was Foo Fighters at The Roseland Ballroom in NYC and then Pavement At Lupo's

    and incidentally, the night I traveled to Providence to see Pavement, The Foos were in town playing at The Met, (If only they didn't go on around the same time........)

    What are the chances? I like Lupo's... it's a pretty cool venue.

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Police would be cool but way too much, I might try to score some off people who bought too many, as for incubus what is this 2001?

    Metallica at Milton Keynes Bowl in '99, it was the first time I saw them. When they came on to the 'Good the bad and the ugly' music all the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, it was awesome :D

    yeah, I had two people buy me tix to the Police, and told them both to sell them to someone else...no way I'm paying $225, don't care who it is. what if it pisses rain the whole time? Could get a Coachella weekend pass for that.....


    2001? Not a big Incubus fan, but I wouldn't mind checkin them out...

    So Social D was last week and I totally spent 70% of the show at the very front right in front of Mike Ness like serious was 8 feet away, it was grand there was one girl in front of me who pretty much was only there to save me from getting crushed on the rail but otherwise I was front row. Sweet show, well worth it, might have seemed rushed but they played all the hits and a good selection of the back cat, can't wait for Dino jr.
