    I hate this part!

    Currently sitting here refreshing my email inbox like crazy waiting for confirmation that my order for 2 tickets to see Green Day later this year has come through.

    Was nerve wracking trying to get the damn ticket website working at first. Wonder why ticket sites can never deal with the traffic? It's almost like they don't upgrade to cover these types of hits on purpose.

    Refresh refresh refresh!

    edit: Yay!

    You have booked to attend GREEN DAY at Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester on SATURDAY 31/10/2009 at 19.30

    You have ordered the following tickets

    Reference ********* - 2 SEATS at ? 38.50
    Plus a Transaction fee of ? 2.00

    Tickets will be despatched as soon as possible, but may not be received until the week of the event. If your tickets haven't arrived 48 hours before the event, please contact us.

    You have been charged a total of ? 79.00 and this will appear on your statement as 'EVENT TICKETS'

        Green Day is still alive and thriving. How can you miss that WT? Sheeeeeeh, I tell ya, all you old fogies..... I'm sure you recognize some of their newer stuff from American Idiot that they play on the radio more often (Blvd. of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends) ....if you don't, go buy it, or I'll bring my Ipod down and slap you around with it while we listen *grins*

          True, Troop , soooo true.

          Here's my dilemma ... I never ,everrr listen to radio. I hate Clear Channel in all its forms, so I'd lost touch with what people are spoon-fed as radio ready singles these days.

          That reminds me, I need to set up a Pandora account this weekend !!

              I dunno if they will be around in another year or two ... I like the idea, but its hard to get excited about paying for music that you can listen to for free (with the huge caveat that its what you WANT to hear, not the spoon fed crap).

              Let's face it, I am cheap. I'll listen to my piddly mp3 collection and leave it at that.

                But, Sirius is so much more than music. Yes they have all types of music that is commercial free. They also have comedy, sports, news, talk radio, serials, books and road conditions in major cities. I can program my favorite artists or teams and Sirius will prompt me when they are on.

                  AW, you use that at work I assume ? My daily commute is all of 9 minutes, and I have my quiet cubicle that rarely sees any noise level for fear of annoying co-workers, so I guess those are my reasons why I can ignore Sirius for now.

                    My daily commute is about 2 minutes.
                    You can also listen to Sirius through your computer if you have an account.

                        Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
