Creativity starves insanity
Two weeks of canvassing message boards and a select few office co-workers was not enough to beat the challenge in offloading—for cheap—two March 6 matinee session tickets to We Will Rock You.
Not even holding a couple of lifts hostage to the question was fruitful in the least. Even asking a semi-kinda-rock-chick at a Ticketmaster7 ticket outlet proved fruitless. Most of the warm hits were on for the idea, but dreaded consultations with "their partners" always brought back a less than desired result. Money—to these people breaking for a smoko and coffee break every half hour—was a tight and rare commodity.
The better half of the ticket equation needed only one night and a portion of the morning's day to flag down a bidding bidder.
Buying the replacement tickets for the last day's performance on March 13 could not have been timed any closer. From the stucky man behind the window at the State Theatre on Market Street, all indications would suggest that the sell out is near about. Back row, top tier - it's time to rock on.
Two tickets to the ghetto fabulous roc tha block sham hinted last week over a phone call with an editor dropped half and made itself into one. Consolation of sorts in picking up Xzibit's Weapon of Mass Destruction and Mario Winan's Hurt Me No More to help clear out that Wooloomooloo office space.
As standing bored at the blinged out Superdome never came into mind—what with a preview screening of Ong Bak courtesy of FHM on at the same time (but that too was skipped in order to meet with the WWRY invitee)—it worked out well.
Except for the long wait at passing along that roc tha block ticket. Never in line, always cutting time.
