So if I wanted to score a ticket or two to a sold out show at The Metro in Chicago, what should I do? I mean, besides showing up the night of the show with a wad of cash....

Is there a place where people advertise stuff like this? The Reader? Craigslist?

The show is Animal Collective on Jan 22.

Oh, I still need buffistarawk info to send my files to....

Craigslist is often good for tickets. Especially as the date gets very close.

aww. I miss The Metro. I saw my first punk show (the Circle Jerks) there.

Sorry, I forgot! I'll send it to you, but there's no email address in your profile.

That's weird. It seems to go away when I edit other profile stuff.

Anyway, it's there now.

So I was reading the 'musicians' section of Craigslist and found this: Seek Bands for Sci-fi Realty Concert (Chicago)

Turns out that's a typo. Here's the first part of the ad:

Seek bands for sci-fi reality concert

Strange Video is a sci-fi reality program that will make it’s debut on a Chicago cable television channel, it’s about the investigators of myths legends and other unspeakable horrors that goes on unnoticed in a few unlucky people homes

The pilot episode will be about bands using their music to weed out a creature called The Antishun,..this will be done exactly according to the legend called Witchen Seed and will make for excellent television

Meh. I think a "Sci-fi Realty Concert" sounds better. Perhaps a story about a Klingon realtor who tries to find a condo for a young Ferengi couple, despite anti-Ferengi redlining in Chicago's more affluent areas....

Where can I find a copy of "Cool and Bored", by the Finnish group LE CORPS MINCE DE FRANÇOISE?

Here's the video - it's poppy and incredibly catchy: [link]

Insent, tommyrot.

If I lived in Chicago, I'd be all over that.

OK, I've added "King Tut" to bwrawk2. Also added "Spider Pig", because everyone needs a copy of "Spider Pig".

eta: More to follow....
