got U2 tickets

Not happy.

Section 311, row 8. That's way upstairs, in the back. I'll have to bring the binoculars. I hope the sound doesn't reverberate off the roof too much, up there.

I wanted general admission floor tickets, so I could hang by the sound board.

I didn't try until 10:10, thinking that the site would be overloaded, and there would be a lot of GA floor tickets available. I underestimated the demand. And there were advance sales to U2 club members. (Ticketmaster told me I have to go to their web site to get a code so I could buy tickets yesterday, but I couldn't find anything.)

I also tried lower level $85 tickets, and they were gone.

I'm not sure who said it

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

That judgement may be a bit harsh, but it has its roots in reality.

Lunatic Fringe

Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
I know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
We wont let you kill the laughter

Lunatic fringe
In the twilight’s last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
You gotta blame someone
In your own confusion
We're on guard this time
Against your final solution

We can hear you coming
No, you're not going to win this time
We can hear the footsteps
Out along the walkway

Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance?
Can you feel the thunder?!!

Happy Equinox to you!

"i did watch Dubya's speech. i agree that it was HIS best speech yet, i was impressed only by the way he sounded like a real (ack) leader this time. good script writing. he still looked like a deer in the headlights. a well- spoken deer."

Hey!

Isn't it Leonard Cohen's birthday today?
