you want to hear all the lurid details

so, get this. on that fateful friday february 29 when the tickets went on sale i was sitting all day in meetings at wifi-less smithsonian storage buildings in maryland and at rare book reading rooms in the library of congress, so i only got online at a bank of america at 5 pm. somehow i managed to buy my friday single ticket, but when i tried for saturday they were all gone. i tried and tried and tried for the rest of the day and the evening and the week and the month, then asked a hebrew, then gave up, then looked on ebay, then got pissed and gave up, then wrote a desperate note here, then got pissed and gave up and decided to pony up the $160 for an ebay scalper scam. i told you i was desperate. so i'm sitting at my desk at five pee emm today, tired from a day of exhibit coordinating as usual, and i check my email and see some spammy new york concert listing from our friends at AEG that starts with all points west and has a link to "get tickets" so i click on it on a what the fuck mood and click on saturday tickets and decode the safety security word and what the fuck i get a ticket so i pay for it and get the confirmation email and now i'm all set right? i wonder if they'll have corndogs at the show.
