Woke up Saturday morning all excited about Police tix going on sale. Ive been buying tix for years and my clickitty-click-click fingers run on auto-pilot now. Im a wiz at this. So, I wasnt all that worried about getting good tix. But, of course, for our convenience, the glorious corporation that is TicketMaster has improved the service by adding in a new step. They show you a picture of a word and simply want you to type it. Easy, eh? Welll .... look what I get .... Enter the word as it is shown above Huh?!?! It's not F K G Y Y J ?!?! Hmmm, that was a bit hard, Mr. Ticketmaster. I didnt get it ... Ok, they respond ... how about this, much easier one!? ugh :crazy:

paypal payments are guaranteed to some extent. if the transaction is linked to an ebay auction (they are owned by the same company), it very easy to get your money back. but it sounds like yours is a private transaction, so things are more complicated and could take months to resolve if something went wrong. if the seller is offering you the option of paying by cheque, thats your safest way to do it. but bottom line, its a matter of faith. and you have to base your faith on his reputation, standing on craiglist, etc. if he's been around for a while, it probably safe to deal with him.

Theme: Songs about the future. 1. Radiohead- Palo Alto 2. King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man 3. Blues Traveler - 100 Years 4. Prince - 1999 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

scored a sweet pair in sec105 ACC for $95 each for the monday show. VERY happy with them . didnt wanna spend five bills on a pair, and didnt wanna be in the nosebleeds (most of which were also $95 ). expect another show to be added for saturday. the monday show was added immediately upon the sunday show selling out.

Good luck today everyone

so, how'd it go? :cool:

well, if I must ... Theme: Songs by bands whose lead singer's subsequent solo career was more (or equally as) successful than the original band 1. Faces (Rod Stewart) - Stay With Me 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. oh, and it has to be an original band that we have heard of, no searching for obscure bands of famous singers.

Footloose? I LOVE that song!

and Sirius ready too

hmmmm

Theme: Songs about the First time 1. Foreigner - Feels like the First Time 2. Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 3. Carpenters - Make Believe It's Your First Time 4.

I do. do it look like this?

... this thread has taken a few very strange turns ... missing kids, dead dogs. what's next? zero posting self-nudes?

sounds like an inside job get it? inside? 'cause it's too cold outside? still, sucks. sorry.

Theme: The Alphabet (Artist - Song) 1. Anthrax - Belly of the Beast 2. C - D 3. E - F 4. G - H 5. I - J 6. K - L 7. M - N 8. O - P 9. R - S 10. T - U 11. V - W 12. Y - Z No Q or X used

i know eh, and on a friday too - when everyone's brain turns to mush ...

Oasis live is like seeing the Hip. Its a good band on stage, but half the crowd thinks everyone has paid $75 to hear them sing along (badly).

ok, please clarify ... do both the artist and song each have to expand by one? or, just the two combined?

i sense a LOT of editing, arguing, name-calling, and general frustration in store ... well done!

this thread is wacky. you have to have good timing to play this game. kinda like double dutch. :laugh:
