This is for those of us who didn't even try to get tickets today. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Eddie. But, I live in Wisconsin and can't afford to go.

Now don't get me wrong. I am not bitching about it. There just doesn't seem to be much on the boards these days other than the west coast shows.

I did watch Into the Wild last night. I really didn't feal that the movie was nearly as good as the book. There let's talk about that. ;)
My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day.

    I didnt even try.

    plane tickets would have been over 1000 bucks round trip....plus hotels, time off from work, food, tickets etc...

    Im going to see Into the Wild for a second time this wednesday at a local college theatre. I thought the movie was pretty well done over all.

    Yay a thread I belong in! haha
    I'm not going either. I'm going to be in Cancun from the 3rd to the 10th.
    Even if I wasn't it woulda cost me WAY more than this trip to cancun to go see Ed.
    I'm going to wait till something closer to home, thats not a festival, is announced.

    I didn't try, but I have to tell you, this scares me for when PJ tickets go on sale. Wow, what a fiasco!

    congrats to all who did get tickets
    Peace, Love.
