Concert woes...

edited September 2008 in Social Entropy++
So last night my girl friend and I were about to buy tickets for a Kings of Leon show at the Electric Factory in Philly, we were set to go with four other people and we were waiting to here back from them if they were definitely going to go. We were both tired and I told her "the tickets will be there tomorrow" and we went to bed. She had work today and I just completely blanked on the fact that we needed to get tickets, needless to say when we checked about an hour ago, they were all gone. Only scalpers trying to scam up, $40 tickets for anywhere between $90-$300.

I'm pretty annoyed that people are such A-holes like that, and are just in it to make a buck. I feel terrible, my girlfriend is upset and I feel responsible because I told her that they would be there for us.

So lets make this a topic about concert experiences, who have you seen and where, what was your favorite show, anything related to concerts...


GO!

    OK you know what concert I want to go to
    Fucking Insubordination Fest in Baltimore
    Two days of nothing but punk bands rocking
    Last year had the Steinways, the Ergs, Sloppy Seconds, and ended the whole fucking weekend with the Queers
    The festival ended with a loud as fuck rendition of Fuck The World
    I think the Steinways play it every year so I gotta get down to Baltimore to see this shit

    I'm just now sort of learning how to find the concerts I want to go to and what venues I like.

    May the internet forgive me but Myspace actually has helped me a bit in researching lesser known bands.

    Gogol Bordello is gonna be near here in a couple weeks, but nobody I know is into them and I've always felt weird about going to shows by myself.

    CONFLICT!

    Last show I went to was when the Bouncing Souls played in July and it was radtastic
    Opened with Hopeless Romantic and Say Anything and the place went apeshit
    Bass player swung the mic around for the crowd during True Believers
    Drummer friend and I rocked the fuck out

    Oh and a bunch of local shows coming up starting next month, like three in a row
    Two of them I have to go to because my friends are playing
    The other one is a local band, Flatfoot 56 which is like a Celtic punk outfit out of Chicago, I think, and then the Toasters, who are basically the godfathers of third wave ska

    Gonna be honest, they looked a little rough
    But yeah they put on a good show
    Met Brian before the show when I was waiting for some shitty hardcore band to get done, pretty cool dude
    They basically stopped in Syracuse for 12 hours, played their set, went south for another gig, turned right the fuck around and came back and played Warped Tour like an hour away

    Last big concert I went to was 311 about 3 years ago, it was pretty good.

    Last musical show I went to was about 2 years ago, saw a bunch of bands do game music covers, including the Ducktales Moon level music. It was awesome.

    Beck is the only artist I've never seen live that I really, really wanna see.

    He's one of, like, 3 artists I got into in junior high and still love to this day (like 12 years later).

    Actually, I would probably mark him as my single favorite musician, or at least top 3.

    I went to a Thrice show at the Anaheim House of Blues last May.
    It turned out they were filming the entire thing for a DVD, and I was right in front.
    So they start this song, and right at the intro, the bassist flips and holds the mic stand right in front of my face. That particular song's intro calls for some intense yelling, so I decided to grab the thing and belt out some lyrics pretty hardcore.

    I actually hope they cut that part from the DVD.
