For Sale: Skrillex Ticket(s) For Face ($35)

I bought a couple extra tickets to Skrillex, just because I love fucking with scumbag scalpers. There are already a handful of people out there saying shit like, "$150 per ticket, get them while they last, what a steal!" Fuck them, not only do they have the mental capacity of the third grader (and I'm really sorry for offending third graders), picturing them sitting in front of their computers hitting reload on their email wondering why people aren't replying makes me sleep well at night. I love it when they say, "PRICE IS FIRM." So is the back side of my hand.

So anyway, there are good people who are not looking to pick your pocket. There are a lot of them actually, so I encourage anyone interested in a ticket to email the scum selling them for $100 or more. Tell them how sorry you feel for them, and how their lives will be so much better when they quit trying to fuck over everyone they can.

Email me at knowidyuh@gmail.com if you are interested. Pick up the ticket downtown. Hard copy, blah blah. I only have one ticket at this time. I'll probably have more closer to the show if my friends don't need them. I don't subscribe to the first come first serve, so convince me you are not a scalper and really want to attend. After the ticket and order fee, it was about $35 a ticket.

New Shows: Merle Haggard/Kris Kristofferson, Shemekia Copeland, The Civil Wars, Miyavi

Merle Haggard (w/Kris Kristofferson)

I don't follow the career of these guys closely, so I'm a bit surprised they are even still alive. Old Merle had something like 40 number one songs, which is another way of saying he is 1 in 50 country musicians who doesn't completely suck. I wonder if Haggard is his real last name, because I'm sensing some irony here, vocabularily speaking.
