ticket futures
StubHub, even though they don't go on sale until Sunday 9/9.Ouch. Doesn't Steven Patrick realize he still owes me from canceling at Now & Zen Fest 2004? Probably not. Oh well, maybe I should just suck it up and buy two tickets at the Fillmore box office, then sell one for $130 and call it even.

No Good Can Come Of This
Update: Turns out he was just kidding about running into my ex (I set myself up for that one). I'm so gullible!

Jack
(e:Paul), don't worry. your jackets are already packed for UPS to avoid possible catamination, haha.
p.s. -- I have an epic craigslist story to tell, which might be interesting on a slow news day. But considering this is a dual-peep birthday weekend, probably not that interesting right now. Happy Birthday (e:Terry) and (e:Mike)!

decisions, decisions
Maybe I should start out with something easy like:
"Popcorn maker for movie days at homeless shelter"
or
"Pub Crawl Tour Leader" (?!!!)
Although I was thinking more along the lines of:
"STOP BAY AREA KIDS FROM GOING TO PRISON!"
That sounds like a good use of time. Especially considering a gang of potential lawbreakers is even now whooping it up at the playground next to my building. (No offense, kids.)
Although, some of these other options are just so intriguing, like:
"Shamefree Blogger in San Francisco" (I'm shamefree all right, but not for lack of trying).
"Volunteer Victim for Advanced Medical Life Support Class" (Get felt-up by a stranger for charity).
But mostly I'm leaning towards a rash of postings for the Neighborhood Parks Council's new online Park Kiosk, including:
"Building a Flickr Presence on our New (DRUPAL) Web Site"
"GIS-KML-Google Earth Pro Volunteer"
"Photo-Journalism/Social Documentation"
Maybe I'll do one "fun" thing and one "socially responsible" thing. Since the juvenile delinquents of tomorrow are already at the neighborhood park, that could work out.

check it out!
EXACTLY! Hallelujah! It finally works again! I have no idea why, but who cares.
Just in the nick of time too, since my new online banking site (I decided opening a joint account with my new TIC partner would be a good opportunity to switch my personal accounts too) doesn't like Safari. Their tech support was actually very responsive. But when I told them my text settings were not causing the problem (see gigantic navigation buttons filling the entire screen below), they told me what I knew was coming all along. The problem is I'm using a Beta version of Safari. (Or at least, that's their out.)
They suggested I use Firefox, or revert back to Safari 2. Obviously, I'd rather slit my wrists than revert back to Safari 2. So I gave Firefox another go.
Amazing. I have another lease on life. If only I could find the time to have a life...

time vs. money vs. happiness
In a nutshell. I promised my Grinderman (aka Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) ticket for tonight to a true fan so I could see Eisley. You've never heard of them, but when I saw them the time before last, I was also short on time due to leaving for a 2 week vacation the next day. Seemed like a stupid idea to see a band instead of packing in advance of my 7am flight. BUT that show resounded in my mind for the entire trip. Certainly got my $16 worth.
Tonight I have to bike down to GAMH to pick my my ticket when doors open at 8pm and hand it over to Carolin, then backtrack to the Swedish American Hall for Eisley (show starts at 7:30!!! who the hell starts a show at 7:30? Luckily there's one opening band, but still).
So Tegan and Sara was fucking amazing. They "warned" the audience they would be playing their new album in it's entirety first, and they went straight through all 14 songs. There were a few good ones, but nothing remotely comparable to the second half of their set. Damn, they wrote some great fucking tunes.
I would tell you more about how and why I dyked out for the show, and how they played Kimya Dawson - I Will Never Forget before the show, and about running into Steve #1 [inlink]twisted,36581[/inlink] at the free Virgin in-store show, and the goddamn blood blister I got while contorting myself to chain my bike outside the store because I was in a hurry...
Ouch!
...but I have to get going.

Persistence paid off! I found a seller with one Tegan and Sara ticket at face value plus fees. Her original buyer flaked out, so I'm going to see them tonight! Yay!

Hello hello

I will add my whine to that. Last time i saw Morrissey live i came home with a black eye. You think punk shows are rough, try being in the front 2 rows, close enough to be pulled up on stage by Mozz himself and see how many passive frail vegetarian Mozz-a-bes are willing to elbow the person half an inch closer! ha ha ha!!
