  1. And the best breakfast place in town is called...?

    ann sathers.  

     

    trying for tix as well.  i liked the nostalgic feel to the process, brought back good memories of doing MO for the dead.  i was inconvenienced by the decision to not just go online.  but i appreciate the idea that the MO didnt have a big chunk of tix, and won't really affect people's TM and other chances; but i also recognize that there may actually still be grateful dead fans out there who dont use computers and this is a kind decision to give them a chance too.   dunno.

     

    do know im excited about it.  very.  

  2. You got your Maze, Zero and Hood, Velvet.  Good call.   :)  I was hoping for a Contact too but loved the Maze opener and the Good Times encore was a perfect ending to the run.  I'd suggest that "empty" is an overstatement, though.  NYE was full, and I would estimate that the remaining evenings ranged from 80% to 90% full once people were inside.  The shows didn't begin until after 8:15, and everyone knew that, so they just didnt bother to come in early because it was so nice outside.  Indeed, it was a slow clusterfuck outside for those who waited to come in late.  That the last three shows were not sold out was likely due to PTBM screwing folks with shitty uppers when they mail-ordered and they either didn't bother making the trip down or they upgraded.  I would suggest that Velvet getting tix for that cheap outside was the exception, not the rule.  i saw several face- or above face- transactions outside and there were very few good tix available for $15, sure maybe some uppers for that price (which would have been fine to get in and sneak down).  Honestly, I've seen it a lot worse with people dumping tix well below face at MSG than what I saw in Miami this year.  

     

    I really enjoyed all four shows.  Had a real old school feel to the run.  :)  Happy New Year!
