Today was a preview of the 2007 Fall Tour. My day in chronologic order (mostly).
Van Halen in DC
I work about a block away from the arena in DC, the Verizon Center. So when I got work that Van Halen was playing here, I decided to go to the arena and try for tickets. i arrived about 9:40am, tickets go on sale at 10:00am. There weren't many people there and I got in line. The whole process was ver orderly and there were 3 ticket windows selling tickets. Very organized! But 5 minutes into tickets being on sale, the only seats comng up were 400 level seats. THESE SUCK!
I had Donkey on the cell phone. He had the same thing happening to him. He threw them back a few times. Finally, some 100 level seats. Donkey got them. I had similar seats at the window, but his were a little better. I go back to work.
At this point, I am wondering why the rotten tickets so shortly after going on sale? I went to the Ticket Master page. And I noticed that there is a new set of tabs (see image below).
BID ON AUCTION?! WTF?If tickets weren't expensive enough, this put them over the top. Now they charge a SUPER premium for seats in an auction.
New Springsteen! Radio Nowhere
I got over the whole VH dibacole and now I get an MP3 file with the upcoming Springsteen release, Radio Nowhere. For your listening pleasure, click on the MP3 player over on the sidebar.
My thoughts; I like it! It's no Born to Run, but it's a lot better then the Ghost of Tom Joad! Give it a listen (click in the object on the bar on the right), and leave a comment with what you think.
