When I look at the shocking state of my bank account and such, I am shocked. And then I look at my concert list for the month of July, and I understand why. It’s still pretty breathtaking though.
Supposedly Telus is repaying me for a whack of services that I’d prepaid and then cancelled, so that will help a little. IF it shows up at a useful time. As well as the lower telecom bill from Shaw for the duration of the promos (another two months?).
I, of course, can resist anything but a presale, and I’m really really psyched to see two shows that I got tickets for this week: Nine Inch Nails, whom I’ve never managed to get to…I really wanted to see Glass Spider, all the way back then, but the timing didn’t work out. And now the general idea is to go to this show with the Main Distractor, who is a big fan. I’ve been advised to wear earplugs, and since we have floor tickets, I think I will try to remember to do that. The other show is not till September: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. I don’t know all that much of his stuff, but what I know I like. That’s another one that the Main Distractor was all over though. And that’s another chance you have to grab when it presents itself. And thank God it didn’t involve a $160 ticket like Tom Waits did. :p There may yet be a Nick Cave show scheduled for Vancouver, in which case I’d probably try to get tickets for that and sell the Seattle ones on Craigslist or something, save the gas and the border lineup etc., but I wasn’t going to chance it.
Luckily, I like ramen.
OK
