My Conchords Tickets. I Haz them.
Love "Flight of the Conchords," loooooove 'em. And I loaned my season one DVD to J4 and now she loves them too. They'll be playing the Bass Concert Hall in Austin 4 days before my birthday in May...

And yet the Universe did NOT let me buy a ticket when they went on sale. The tickets sold out in 20 minutes, UTPAC told me. Purchased undeniably by evil re-sellers and scalpers to sell for 3x, 5x, up to 20x the face price.

I'd been monitoring the resale ticket prices, and the cheaper ones (ha! even they start at $165 with all the crappy fees) were already disappearing. So today I bit the bullet and bought a nosebleed seat on the 2nd balcony. And paid too much.

But I'll really be blue not to have seen them in person. Plus, I had a dream that I lived in a condo/townhouse near downtown and my garage apartment (?) was a regular bunkhouse for musicians and artists. I was surprised to see Bret and Jemaine and their entourage moving in back there, and then "remembered" how you do in a dream they'd been staying with me when in town since before they were famous.

It was hugs all around, then I loudly told them that I never got a ticket for the concert because they were all sold out! And the guys and their manager (it was totally Murray!) assured me I'd have a good seat.
