APRIL 7, 2005:
IM IN A HOTEL IN EDMONTON. THE SIGN ON THE WAY INTO THE CITY SAYS "CITY OF CHAMPIONS". APART FROM THE OILERS, WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? PEOPLE HERE TALK REALLY CANADIAN. I FORGET ABOUT THE CANADA ACCENT WHEN I HAVENT HEARD IT IN AWHILE. SHOWS HAVE BEEN GREAT. I DIDNT HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY FANS WE HAD UNTIL NOW. IVE COME TO EXPECT CERTIAN THINGS FROM EACH PLACE WE PLAY, BUT CANADA HAS BEEN TOTALLY DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND. I GUESS ALL THAT TV STUFF WORKS OUT IN THE END HUH? ITS BEEN GREAT MEETING YOU MEMO READING KIDS ALONG THE WAY TOO. ILL TRY TO MAKE THIS ONE INTERESTING. SO CONTROLLER.CONTROLLER GOT PULLED OVER TWICE WITHIN 12 HOURS TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH MY INSANE DRIVING. I SAW A FLOCK OF WILD MOUNTIAN GOATS AND ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT.

Oh, yeah. You have to post something first. It remembers after that. Can't remember something you haven't seen before...

So there's another minor perk to registering. The last author name and email address you used are automagically entered into the post form. They just pop up there, for your convenience! The minor, insignificant user features just keep on slowly rolling out!

Apparently their technique was "wait till no one's looking then run like hell". But y'know, if you honestly can't make it to the show you can rest assured that Red's would've ruined it for you somehow anyways. It's pretty much inevitable with those guys.

Besides, there's a better hardcore show coming up on April 28th and 29th with Cursed and Mare!!!! I'm totally going to both of them. It'll be sweeeeeeeet.

I concur with Paras on this one. I think the public ought to be leery of P3s because there is certainly a lot at stake if things don't work out... for both sides... and often the ones left with the shortest end of the stick are the taxpayers...

but then again, I'm just cynical and biased, and miserably fed up with all the crap in the environmental field... which has a tendency to spill over into everything else from time to time...

yay counting berries. I think I understand why environmental sciences/ecology people do field work - it gets them out and not stewing on all the crap they'll have to deal with for the rest of the year. come on spring!

no way Vanessa. just roll up to the show and sneak in, like Taylor's friend Carlin. the only reason she got kicked out of Queens of the Stone Age was because she got way too plastered. just pretend to show 'em the ol' wristband and give 'em the ol' fuck' Q.

Ah, sorry about that. I've heard my fill of how great they are. Besides, what's really fair anyway?

no matter how much you try to scam....them's is smart at red's

when a show is sold out, it means you CAN'T get a ticket

To be fair, P, all those articles are taken from labour unions and their websites. I mean, if I were the contracted companies in these cases, I could write all the netstories I want about how P3s are the greatest thing for the public interest since VLTs.

Similarly, I don't expect labour unions to be unbiased about private ventures into public interest projects. Not that I'm commenting on the correctness of their analysis, but the source seems important here.
