hold me and watch the apocalypse

+ I love The Cab, but I don't know how anyone was surprised that Ian and Cash and the Alexes would part ways. [livejournal.com profile] why_me_why_not and I have discussed this before: Ian's musical interests clearly lay in a different direction from Alex DeLeon's. One wants to be Jimmy Page when he grows up, the other wants to be Justin Timberlake. There's nothing wrong with either desire, but they are not necessarily compatible. It's sad, but it's better that it happen amicably now than acrimoniously later.

+ There are tickets for Bonnaroo IN MY HANDS. I am, in fact, petting them and calling them my preciousssss at this very moment. It makes typing difficult.

+ You'd think family would get it right. But no. We received a check from my dad for his ACL tickets addressed to Heather Sanders. Which is not my name. I did not take MrIris's last name. Never planned to. Never considered it. Never even came up in conversation. I had a credit history in my name; I published with my name; my degree was granted to me with my name. Why should I change it to follow an antiquated tradition? I understand that casual acquaintances might not know that if they're introduced to us by our first names. But family members? Really?

+ Link courtesy of J: I find this cake disturbing on multiple levels. First because it doesn't really even look like him, but second because you'd be eating his face. (eta: this just appeared at the PATD comm, even as I was posting)

Presale is Wednesday for all three of them. Regular sale is Saturday. IDK, they didn't sell pit for the pre- or regular sale for Dallas: they were all part of VIP packages that cost $220/person. I'm not feeling optimistic about the Chicago or Detroit shows. I'd go to the Houston show without a pit ticket b/c it's Houston, and it's not a big deal. But if I'm flying somewhere, it has to be for a damn good view.

Oh, totally. I don't blame you. We have actually seat-seats for Cincinatti (idk where, Krystal bought the tix) but they were only $55 each, which isn't bad at all compared to what I've been hearing. That's shitty that they didn't have pit tix outside of the VIP pkgs. What else is included in those, b/c that's a rather ridiculous price?

Access to the "VIP lounge", a laminated VIP pass, a limited edition numbered poster, and the pit ticket. Seriously? For that much money, I want to be seated on the side of the stage with a clear view of Brendon and Spencer, Patrick and Pete, and Mark and Travis.

yeah, wtf? that's insane.

unrelated, but the place where we have tickets to see WTK & ATL next month, they apparently have a restaurant next door and if you have a meal at the restaurant before the show, you get let in 15 minutes before doors...

:DD That's awesome! I'm bummed that they're not coming to TX for this tour. Actually, is the Boys Like Girls, TAI, Gym Class tour coming near you? I know it's mostly east coast, but I can't remember how far south it went.

Nah, I think Baltimore is the closest they're coming to me. :(

J is going to that show. I poked her when I saw the dates on Beckett's blog a few weeks ago.
