IDIOTS! (hahahahafu)

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:30 (twenty years ago) link

I'm in! Are you planning on driving up that day and can you pick up disreputable OC types along the way?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:31 (twenty years ago) link

(Also, please tell me the damn thing hasn't sold out yet.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:31 (twenty years ago) link

yes. but i don't know about the tickets - i don't think it's sold out yet.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago) link

Wiltern's a sizeable enough venue these days without the seats, so yeah, I figure such is the case. I'll look into this...

There was talk of some sort of FAP as well, as there's a good chance @d@ml will be in town for the show.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:35 (twenty years ago) link

OMG the tickets cost $32!!!

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:35 (twenty years ago) link

a concert don't come for free

THE WILTERN BE GOUGIN'

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:38 (twenty years ago) link

I was about to say, frankly I would have expected them to cost more!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:43 (twenty years ago) link

$32 is insane... and the Wiltern is not an ideal concert venue. It's sort of stuffy, with tiny seats all crammed together.

― Neb Reyob (Ben Boyer), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:48 (twenty years ago) link

Uh, please note my comment about the seats above -- namely, that they're not there anymore. (On the floor, at least -- they still have them in the balconies.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago) link

The venue needs MORE seats. Geezers need excitement too, you guys.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago) link

(i got jokez)

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:54 (twenty years ago) link

youre funny and you know it.

(looks like im up on the terrible pun of the day contest)

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:58 (twenty years ago) link

Whoops, sorry, Ned - Last show I caught there was still seat-ful. But, then, I still say $32 is insane.
I remember someone bitching about Godspeed You Black Emperor tickets costing $20, and one of the band members said "well, you know, we have to pay like 15 band members and people." That made sense.

― Neb Reyob (Ben Boyer), Friday, 4 June 2004 19:00 (twenty years ago) link

I may be in, and I can get tickets directly from the venue tomorrow, V, cutting out the Ticketmaster surcharges, sticking it to the man....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, 4 June 2004 19:00 (twenty years ago) link

Suave. (Ask how the sales are going when you're there, as I might wish to follow suit and wait on the day.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 19:17 (twenty years ago) link

mmmmmmeeeeeeeee

― Lukas (lukas), Friday, 4 June 2004 19:28 (twenty years ago) link

Check yer e-mail Jsoulja. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 20:11 (twenty years ago) link

I'm skipping this as I've seen them both already.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 4 June 2004 20:14 (twenty years ago) link

Aw. Hm, but FAP beforehand perhaps?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 4 June 2004 20:14 (twenty years ago) link

And indeed, FAP plans are now in the making.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

I have an extra ticket if anyone wants it. I mean PLEASE BUY IT OFF ME.

― Lukas (lukas), Thursday, 10 June 2004 23:06 (twenty years ago) link

great show but when dizzee did lotd2trk27 i wish he'd stuck to the original beat. does that track have a title btw?

― Lukas (lukas), Sunday, 13 June 2004 08:19 (twenty years ago) link

was that the "tipsy" or "rubberband man" freestyle?

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 13 June 2004 08:50 (twenty years ago) link

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 13 June 2004 08:56 (twenty years ago) link

OH YEAH - DEAN OTMFM!!

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 13 June 2004 08:56 (twenty years ago) link

Good to finally see them both -- Dizzee had the more consistent set, Streets had some great high points. Rah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 13 June 2004 14:11 (twenty years ago) link

Good times.

― Akiva Gottlieb, Sunday, 13 June 2004 17:41 (twenty years ago) link

Musta been the "rubberband man" freestyle.

― Lukas (lukas), Sunday, 13 June 2004 18:58 (twenty years ago) link

yeah it was hilarity. big cheers for "tipsy", big blank looks for "rubberband man". especially after dizzee introduced it as "here's one ya all know!!"

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 13 June 2004 19:14 (twenty years ago) link

Also the Wiltern is a bit fascist. And the crowd was 90% sober! Although there were a couple drunk frat boys in back singing along to all the Streets songs and slapping each others' asses.

― Lukas (lukas), Sunday, 13 June 2004 19:24 (twenty years ago) link

did they perform together?

they did the day before and it was pretty great.

― marissa, Tuesday, 15 June 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago) link

Alas, no direct performance together onstage, but Dizzee was seen by our bunch on the side dancing away for most of the Streets set.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 01:26 (twenty years ago) link

oh, really? i feel special now. the backup singer mentioned in the other thread wasn't there, and dizzee sang backup for the entire streets set. it was a very pleasant surprise.

― marissa, Tuesday, 15 June 2004 01:49 (twenty years ago) link

! That would have been amazing! But nope, that isn't what happened with us. I wonder if the other fellow was sick that night or something.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 02:05 (twenty years ago) link

Dizzee's going to be in Sydney 23rd July at the Gaelic Club

― mentalist (mentalist), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 02:10 (twenty years ago) link
