not really a political subject, tho I spose it could be considered a religion to some....in any event, not really TS related so I thought I'd ask here:
..anybody else get fucked over by the TicketBasterd fiasco yesterday? There I was all logged in and ready to go at 10 AM sharp CST,,,got the 45 minute wait message which took about a half hour to get down to 38 min. Got down into the twenties then went back up to 45. Ultimately, after about 2 1/2 hours, the clock finally wound down to zero....High Demand...unable to fill your request.
This, after getting aced out on the mail order deal in Jan was the icing on the cake. Pretty shabby way to treat a guy who's been a loyal patron for the last 45 years buying all their albums and merchandise and t-shirts and not to mention countless (well, I was counting....stopped keeping track after 300) live concerts and benefit shows, including all the Kingfish, Ratdog and Old and in The Way and JGB spinoffs. It's a stone fucken drag, man. A mockery of a travesty of a sham of a joke of 2 mockeries of a sham.
What's a po boy to do?......nothin left ta do but....whistle through yer teeth and spit I guess.
Bottom line, what I'm saying w/ this post ( besides venting my spleen about how fucked up the Dead's ticketing deal has become) is I need a miracle. I'm guessing there's gotta be at least a coupla DeadHeads on this thing so my question is this (waving the traditional index finger in the air)...AAAnnyy Exxtraaas???
