asimplechord∞ The Austin ticket presale was today at 1pm. I logged in at ~12:45pm and kept refreshing. At 1pm, the BUY NOW link finally appeared. I clicked it, and... got the "no tickets available". Retried. Again.
So apparently the presale allotment sold out in less than the time it takes to redirect from the front page of DucatKing to the actual event page. Who knew?
There was much keyboard mashing and typing and email bitching by me at various people as I tried to figure out if they really were sold out or if I was experiencing technical difficulties. They really were.
But. There were plenty of tickets left for the 3May event in St. Louis, which, unlike the Austin date, is a weekend. I wouldn't have to miss work, and airfare is cheap, so... yeah. Goin' to see 'em elsewhere. I'll hang out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Other good stuff?
∞why_me_why_not has internet access again, YAY!
∞ The tattoo artist got back to me and said he should have a sketch of a design based on my description and the pic I forwarded sometime this week.
∞ Goan artichokes with naan could be served to me every night and I would not complain. EVER.
∞ In Bruges earns two thumbs up. I was expecting something dark and funny, sort of like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and it came through on the funny but even more so on the dark. Plus, Ralph Fiennes, Brendan Gleeson, and Colin Farrell, with a bonus appearance by Clémence Poésy.
∞ Random: I was listening to Suzanne Vega this afternoon, and this verse made me laugh out loud:
Because, yeah, I had this mental image of TAI and FOB playing the most bizarre hand of strip poker EVER. No, Butcher, really, a pair of threes isn't going to beat anyone. Fold now, okay? We've already seen your tattoo'd ass, and we don't want your shorts, thanks.
That was before I had any wine, y'all.

He's got a cool hand but it isn't for me.
Butcher Boy thinks he'll be splitting the pot.
But I've seen what he's got and it isn't a lot.
