GeeCee's Not-Entirely-Original Miscellany

Oysterband is apparently going to be at the Edmonton Folk Festival this year (insert whimpering about that lineup here), and unless a miracle occurs in the very near future, there's absolutely no way I can go—even if a second miracle of tickets suddenly becoming available were to occur. (That shadow that suddenly fell across your desk was caused by my bottom lip sticking out so far that it temporarily blocked out the sun.)

Well, @#$%. I got to work late this morning (10:20) and by 10:30 when I managed to get to the Ticketbastard site all of the 10 AM Leonard Cohen presale lawn tickets were gone already. I guess I'll wait until Friday morning when the general sale starts and try again. Is anyone else planning on going and snagging lawn seats? (Yeah, yeah, I know; see tag assigned to this post.)

For folks interested, BTW, prices at Merriweather look like this:  lawn $40; loge $69.50 and $99.50; main pavilion $175 and $250. I don't care who it is, I am not paying $600 for a concert.
