  1. Solid performance again from CuJo. A number of game savers at the end of the third. Good to see him going out this season on a high and havin' fun. Big smiles from him as he's 1st Star. Burke, please don't get rid of Ian White. Lovin' his play and heart. Philly looked tired, out-of-synch, weak, pathetic. I have never seen such a timid Flyer team performance before. We'll see if they wake up at home on Friday. Then see what's left of the Leafs to play The Habs on Saturday. Looking forward to some fun games i hope
  2. Trust me, most people in both cities (who know either team) realised this months ago. Old news Now that Cup 1919 stuff above is news! Loved that. Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!
  3. LOL Woohoo ... sister-in-law called me last night. Getting to go see Philly v Leafs tonight Should be good for a fight or two
  4. I'll be bringing a flag for sure. Actually Darien Lake is the only place i've ever had a flad STOLEN. After the Dead one year (2000 or 2001) we partied in the lot all night. Some spun freak came by while we were passed out and swiped it. I tried to catch him but it was a goner in the meantime who's gonna sell these to the Phish Phreaks? (Kinda like the hula hoop craze with Cheeseheads ) Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!

  9. Just got this email tonight: IN AN EPIC JAM BAND DOUBLE-BILL: DARK STAR ORCHESTRA & KELLER WILLIAMS Thursday July 16, 2009 5pm gates Reserved seating All ages Artpark Lewiston, NY www.artpark.net **Tickets on sale Friday April 3 at 10am** BUY TICKETS Produced by Funtime Presents http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?agency=TDC&pid=6492272
  10. Got my tickets in the mail today! LiveNation tickets are HUGE Section 204 here we come. Anyone else get theirs?
  11. Got the Beatles on shuffle All htis in only 7 years!!! Fucking brilliant.
  12. That's what she said ... Just kidding. Thanks peipunk ... he was in shock at being so close to the game and players! We had a great time.
  13. Even if only 10,000 bought them (and there are more than enough people around here willing to spend that) the other 10,000 would have been scooped by brokers/scalpers. They'll take the risk on being able to turn a profit on sales that would exceed that price-point. In the end, U2 and the promoters made their sales. What happens to the tix after that they don't care. The secondary market takes over and a new game begins (speculating when/if they will dip to an affordable level for you).
  14. Agreed. Same boat as you. Current sales of an album are not indicative of quick concert ticket sales. They have cemented themselves as a worthy draw and that people are more often satisfied with their concert dollars spent, than not when it comes to U2. However, i do also agree that there is manipulation and hype generated to a large degree. You gotta make people want to buy NOW not later. They did this by "leaking" the album ahead of time, spending a week in NYC doing talk shows and appearances, etc. Take a look at eBay and any ticket reselling service. They are flooded with U2 tickets now. So tons of people scooped 'em up. I'm sure a lot more tickets are purchased in order to resell than at a regular concert too. Promoters and TB/LN all get their cash quick and six months early based on the demand right now. As the hype wanes a little demand will go down, scalper prices will drop, promotions to fill empty sections that have been held back will appear, and i'm sure there will be deals to be had on tickets. I'm glad I got my order in and will be on the floor at a reasonable price for the show we'll be getting.
  15. LOL ... just wait until you see it all the time when it becomes somebody's avatar
  16. We were extremely fortunate to be able to get to a friggin' Original Six matchup on a Saturday night in Toronto a couple of nights ago. Man, KILLER seats too right behind the bench. Damn, I could get used to that Darlene, Jack and I went and had a blast. Six goals in the first period. Shit, Pogge and Fernadez were like a pair of sieves We were right behind CuJo and were trying to convince Wilson to put him in It was wild seeing Chara up close to. That man is a GIANT! Crap, he'd be scary to be on the ice with. At one point the Bruins fired a puck into the Leaf bench. Pissed them off of course. Then the trainer turned around and motioned to Jack. He lucked out and got a GAME PUCK. He seems to get a puck whenever he goes to a game! Lucky little guy. Bruins are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs as they seem to be getting on track again. Thanks again to our TicketAngel! We owe you big time. Here are a few shots of Jack, CuJo and the puck
  17. beautiful place for a show! http://www.cmacevents.com/ Is that what used to be called "Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center"? Looks similar, but heavily renovated. I remember seeing Phil on the Odyssey tour and a SCI gig there too. Great spot, beautiful lawn, shitty "lot cops" .
  18. you can also stream it for $5 in the comfort of your own home if you can't find a ride. http://www.iclips.net/umphreys.php Have fun at the show if you make it.
  19. Hux, I hear ya. We sat down to watch it with the kids a week ago. I wasn't expecting much really, and I knew what was to happen at the end. What I didn't expect was exactly what you described. Holy shit, we were all messes by the end of it and all down on the floor hugging and petting our dogs (who are getting very geriatric at this point). Brutal. I'm starting to get chocked up again now ... must leave this thread ...
