hmph...

well, lois and i were thinking of getting tix to the Simon & Garfunkel concert, scheduled for the Pepsi Center in late October. prices, although a bit steep - $54-$204, are not that bad considering this is probably the last time the public may see them perform together. guess they wanted to jump on the cash cow like the Stones or KISS (which is on its 3rd or 4th farewell tour). hey, people are nostalgic and what better way to give 'em what they want at inflated prices?

anyway, as i said, we were thinking of getting tix. unfortunately, i checked on the nosebleed seats the day after they went on sale...sold out. so, maybe the $85 seats. bleh. the 'best' ones left are behind the stage...WTF! we are NOT gonna pay that kind of money to see the backs of their heads! going to the symphony and getting the $10 seats are one thing (at least you get to see the conductor and a different view of the musicians), but $170?!? i could think of better uses...

what ever happened to 'affordable' concerts? i wanna see 'so-and-so', but i gotta sell a kidney first. they told me that a liver and cornea will get me fifth row seats...and first row center if i turn down anesthesia. sheesh. oh, you've got some cheap seats left? in what sections? ah...nosebleed, black eye, and teeth kicking. what are these...pro wrestling seats?
