Past Week 2 of Being (Mostly) Offline…
Posted by Richard S. on July 22, 2007
A quick one, ten minutes left in the Internet Cafe…
One day I’ll have to post about the unfair elitism of limited ticket sales. M.I.A. sold out Sudio B within five hours, through an online ticket sale that happened while I was alseep. (Asleep and offline and without credit or debit card, which I imagine is how you have to buy these online tickets.) Maya, next time, maybe you can find a way to provide more democratic access to your club engagements. Pull up the people, you know?
Though, admittedly, she did play a free festival too, at Coney Island. The festival was not so good (IMO), but the M.I.A. show was great, as expected.
Still offline right now, putting off the pain of getting the new computer (dealing with the hucksters, etc.), just enjoying my relaxation too much. Many things to take care of soon.
Thanks to people for still tuning in (I’m actually getting more readers now than I did when I was regularly posting - strange)…
