What's the latest in people's lives?

[Captain Seafort]

Some band or other presumably.

[Mark]

Ahh.....at least I'm not the only one that's never heard of them.

[Mikey]

Probably one of those Manchester-type shoe-gazer bands.

BTW - thanks for making me feel even more ancient and decrepit. The first (non-classical) concert I went to was Meat Loaf... back when he was popular.

You welcome, relics

"pop-punk" band formed in 2005. That's just not right. Go see Mick Jones sometime.

[Reliant121]

Sorry sir, i like what i like and that is that.
Besides, i have to start small they are showing in my local city.

[Lt. Staplic]

well have fun.

Nickelback was performing here recently and I almost went and bought some tickets, but I decided not to. I didn't think a couple tickets was worth putting me into the whole a couple hundred.

Absurd. Tool was $70 a ticket when they came through last year, and they mop the floor with Nickleback musically. Plus, their laser display was mindblowing. For some reason, it reminded me of being a teenager...

[Lt. Staplic]

gee, I wonder why?

[Mikey]

I got you all beat for ticket prices. I once scored a ticket to a Dead show in exchange for a peanut butter/honey/wheat germ sandwich.

[Lt. Staplic]

guess that was some hungry hobo.

[Mikey]

If he was a hobo, how would he have a ticket when I didn't?

And, now that I'm thinking of it, I traded the sandwich for a Guatemalan hat - I got the ticket for a pair of LaBatt's.

[Lt. Staplic]

he used all his money on the tickets, no money anymore = hobo.

Getting ideas off Jake and Nog eh?

I honestly don't believe that homelessness or jumping freight cars were involved at all.

It was before DS9, and I had no intention of doing so. I went to the show without any real hope of getting in, just to cruise the scene. Deadheads are a pretty communal bunch, and a guy saw my "I need a miracle" sign and asked what I might have to give him for it. I told him I had a sandwich and some beer, and he took the beer. A girl selling Central American textile products nearby overheard, and asked if she could trade me something for the sandwich. I still have that hat.
