Got Something You Want To Say?

A few months ago, my GF's close friend, Tai, got the three of us (your truly, my GF, and Tai) tickets to go see Coldplay because she loves the band and is dying to see them. I left it to Tai and my GF to make the arrangements.

So yesterday they drive down to SJ from SF to meet me, since the concert is in SJ at the Shark Tank. Tai takes out the tickets and starts screaming.

The tickets were for the previous (Wednesday) night's show. :doh:

Anyhow, I took the girls shopping at Santana Row and Valley Faire to cheer them up. :hehe:

These things happens.



Cheers, :drink:

ouch, *modem...that's a burn....well good thing you had a great attitude about it and took some remedial action....i guess if you were with a couple of your buddies...you probably would have went drinking instead of shopping!

were they playing? cause you probably could have gotten to the head of the standby line.. i've had that happen a few times.

it's COLDPLAY for crying out loud.. how can you forget the day COLDPLAY's coming to town?

God knows I was listening to all Incubus' albums the whole week before they came into town..

If that were me.. :shamefulcry:

like screaming "Matilda sannnnnnnnn!!!!!!!" :hehe:

so. what's the rule on this.. does she get a refund on the tickets? coldplay's not going to go anywhere.. so she can wait the next time they come to town, right?

:victory:

don't you just hate positive thinkers and their "rainbows and sunshine" attitude?

i hope they're not as bummed as last night.. :)

Got my hair cut. :puppydog:

I can see my ears. :sweat:

Yep. Afterward, told her to always look at the tickets, verify everything is in order. Chalk it up as a learning experience.

I honestly don't know, but expect that it has to do with either the ticketing agency (Ticketmaster), the concert venue, or the band. I'm leaving it up to her and my GF to figure out.

Don't confuse positive thinking with the sunshine crowd.

Positive thinking is not a simple matter. It is psychological strength, a key to the ability to adapt and overcome. Pulling through tough situations that leave others paralyzed.

Of course, I'll leave the rainbow and sunshine crowd to the 1960s where they belong. :hehe:

Thank you. My GF and I didn't mind so much because although we like ColdPlay, we're not big fans like Tai. She's a good person, so I don't want her to feel sad or guilty.

In the great scheme of things, as you get older you realize that everyone makes mistakes, and learn to give forgiveness especially to those that deserve. :hug:



TGIF! :drink:

CX 200 Director II - the portable cellphone jammer

The CX 200 Portable Director II cellphone jammer is just the tool that should be installed in every sanctuary, cinema and concert hall. Available exclusively in Japan, you can set the CX 200 to perform a complete jam that blankets an entire area up to 70 seconds. The alternative mode is used to end your own calls discreetly without looking for an alibi. Available for $70 a pop, this goodie should not be confined in the Land of the Rising Sun alone, IMHO

Amsterdam 'No Toking' Signs Being Pilfered Fri Feb 3, 2:44 PM ET



If you can't beat 'em ... joint 'em? The City of Amsterdam has begun selling recently introduced "no toking" signs to prevent the official ones from being stolen as collector's items, a spokesman said Friday.

The signs were created as part of an experimental ban on smoking marijuana on the street in "De Baarsjes," one of the city's poorer neighborhoods. The measure, which went into effect Feb. 1, was intended to reduce loitering and petty crime.

"On Wednesday we placed the first sign, and it was gone the next morning," said Wim de Graaf. "We put up a new one Thursday, and it was taken the same night as well. That's when the idea came to us to just sell them."

The signs show two fingers holding a cone-shaped cigarette, with small white marijuana leaves on a black background — all enclosed within a red circle.

The city is selling them for 90 euros each (around US$110), and plans to donate the proceeds to charity.

"We're selling them at not much more than they cost, so we expect profits will be modest," De Graaf said. But he added that the city has already had many requests for the signs, some from outside the city.

Marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but police don't bother prosecuting possession of small amounts. It is openly sold in designated cafes known euphemistically as "coffee shops." But people who smoke marijuana outside in De Baarsjes risk a euro50 (US$60) fine.

De Graaf said the signs can be ordered via De Baarsje's Web site.

"Now everyone can have his own 'no toking' sign simply by ordering them through the city," the site says in a tongue-in-cheek advertisement.
