Hey Angry!

So you were the one who got the Okonokos (and I think I've misspelled that word and mispeled a few times too!) Listening Party Package??!?!?  I checked it out on http://clay.shinybitterpeople.com/    
Pretty cool!!  Now getting backstage passes - I think ya gotta know someone that works for the band or maybe that works for the venue who can finagle (sp?) something.  At the very least I hope I can get there early so I can be up in front.

its not general admission so you have to sit where your ticket is unless you move up to abandoned seats later on in the show.

Dee.

Quotefinagle (sp?)
Correct!  What an odd word.  :)

"The Riviera is general admission, so you will want to arrive early. Take the time to look up and around, as the Riv (as those in-the-know refer to it) is noted for its architecture. Although the antique stage and balcony facades are deteriorating, and it seems like lights and speakers were crudely affixed to the delicate ceiling texturing, you can tell that the Riv was once a beautiful venue."  Yeah, I can totally relate to this venue....but it's definitely got a lot of character and a great vibe to it - kind of like you remember being there when you were in high school and you start seeing little ghosts of the past.  Ah!  but I digress...or do I?

I'm still hoping to get up front...at least ONCE in my life before I croak!  ARGH!

BTW - after I looked up the definition of "FINAGLE" I decided no one should really try to "finagle" their way backstage...
Per the Oxford American Dictionary:  "to behave or obtain dishonestly"    Yikes!  That's not the way cool MMJ fans behave!  They don't filch tickets either!  (Sorry, I couldn't help but see that one on the other page!  Another funny word!)

all alone at the end of the day   really tired it's time to hit the hay

Woah, suebeeboo, I didn't even know someone had linked to my page... thanks for telling me about this - I just assumed only a few dozen people from here at the boards had checked it out.

 ;D

Dear Knoxville,
I'm so sorry!  I was being so selfish!  I was only thinking of MY show here in Chicago, not yours in Knoxville!  I'm a ____.  (I'll let you fill in the blank)  Please forgive me.  I guess I am thankful though that the show in Chicago IS general admission.  I hate having an ass-signed seat!  I like to move about during a show - dance, mingle, purchase a few toddies, maybe some merch.....
Well, in any case, HAVE FUN AT THE SHOW!!  I know you will!    ;)
