Your modesty is amazing Mr. Bragpants.

 

[FloyBossinas]

jeez tony, it's not like you're saying your performing for them. but sigh, i wish i were going. MJC and I saw them last spring and they were great. you're sure to have a great time.

 

[VarietyUndrgrnd]

The only thing I will be performing is the role of ridiculous fan.

 

[FloyBossinas]

I trust you won't, but just don't interupt the show.

 

[Sara Schaefer]

jealous. listening to them right now on my ipod.

I tried to get Stephen to do my show, and his manager actually wrote back and said if it weren't for him being so busy he would have liked to do it.

Who knows if that's a line of bullhonkey but I'm braggin about it anyway.

Magnetic Fields vs. The Strawberry Alarm Clock

Go!

 

[VarietyUndrgrnd]

Strawberry Alarm Clock had more hits...

 

[Music Poll Bit]

Yay!

 

[goldfish boy]

Floy and I feel we enjoyed them so thoroughly when we saw them last spring that there's no need to see them again.*

UPDATE:

Although it was "sold out," there were easily 50 empty seats, including 2 front and center and a bank of about 7 in the fourth row. And dozens scattered throughout.

What gives?

 

[Petra B]

Did all of the empty seats keep you from enjoying the music?

 

[VarietyUndrgrnd]

No! Great show!

The band did mention the empty seats though, which always bothers me. Don't talk about the people who aren't there. We all came to see you! We're here! Be happy!

(This goes for comedians too.)

Most theaters call it sold out before they sell every last ticket. When I worked for the philharmonic we used to stop selling when we sold all but 50 or so, and saved them for vips or for trouble seats (which just means for whatever reason two people were sold the same seat, one person needs a new one.) Sometimes people buy/are given tickets and don't go.
Isn't that wonderfully interesting? I actually miss that job.

And then sometimes people don't know about it until after it is sold out. (wah.)
