Jumping For Joy
I'm going!
After what was probably the most restrictive (i.e., online sale only, no phone or box office orders, limited to two tickets per purchase, no duplicate orders, will-call only with valid ID and credit card at point of entry, no paper or electronic tickets, no transfers, no refunds) but easiest ticket purchasing process ever, I'm so happy to say I'll be seeing Mr. Tom Waits perform in Atlanta.
What's more, my dear friend Don will be attending as well. We were just on the phone comparing seat assignments, and marveling at how easy the process was this time around. While ticket prices are formidably high and large ticket conglomerates still rule the roost, the process appears to be effective in allowing folks equal opportunity to buy tickets.
Thanks to all of you who wished me luck, it surely paid off. Now, I hope my European Waits brethren will be equally as lucky.

I'll practice my limp Nige and you can be my
...disabled helper.
I have fond memories of seeing Waits at the Wiltern Theatre, LA (1999) after securing 2 disabled tickets, all others having sold out within 30 mins. There was a mad rush the night before to secure a wheelchair but I ended up with a simple limp and cane.
I'm very happy, John, that you didn't have to resort to such morally corrupt tactics for Atlanta. I'm sure I'll burn in the arse-hole of hell - but hey, this is Waits were talking about.
I may just be sharing the warmth with you, my friend, as I think I remember Nigel and I both attending the Sugar Bowl under the pretense of being Jeff's "younger brother" (the same younger brother, mind you) who had recently woken from a coma, turned to the nearest attending loved one and gasped "If only I could see Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl"
Let's home the arse-hole of hell is, well, spacious.
