Similar story:
Went to pick up our tix at will-call in Phil during Quad '96.
Got followed by a Cop back to the car.
Knowing we didn't want him to know where our car was, or what was in it, I
quickly stopped to fake a question to my buddy STU so that the cop would
have to address us.
He accused Stu of selling me tickets.
We were like, "dude, we're here together and we just picked up our tix."
Had to pull out ID and everything to prove we were from DC.
Got a bit nervous considering The Redskins had just kicked Philly's ass.
Thought the cop might be pissed.

Hey!  Good to hear from you!
Are you making it back to the states for any of the shows this summer?
Would love to see ya!

I too find it discriminatory.
It's not fair Jeff.

I'm hoping you are now.  :-)

They'd be foolish to think they can just cruise.
And, don't think for a moment they won't be reading reviews, etc.
They need to rock, and set the stage on fire (so to speak).
And, I'm confident they will.
No sense going into the studio with negative momentum.

Enter joke about communal bathing here.

You're not sorry!

Sarcasm!

Now, I believe you.

Now, I don't.

>Take their tickets.

Yes.  They're taking mine!

>Fine them.

Don't know about that.
But it would be nice to "level the playing field".
If I can't compete, than it doesn't seem fair.

Boston has VIP available through TM on the phone.
I'm waiting for a call back with info.
My interest.....those that don't sell (and there will be some) will go back
on sale through TM as the show nears.
