oh-fer-three on getting 4 Ryman seats... both presales and then today on TM were zilch. will keep an eye on the board here and see how it goes. or maybe the'll swing back by Louisville or Cinci again soon...

Ryman had upstairs in the back.... at 10:03. sadness.

No luck... tried at 10, and several times since... maybe Saturday. Disappointing. The problem is that we're all spoiled (I admit it) and think that the good seats are rightfully ours... alas.

Don't know if this has already been posted anywhere, but for everyone who didn't get in on the presale today, tomorrow's presale starts at 10 AM (central time) through ticketmaster and the password is "skyblue"

 

also, coheed and cambria are opening?

 

also, this is my first post. !

Welcome to the board...

I saw where the password for the ticketmaster pre-sale is "bluesky" (not "skyblue") according to the WRLT website. Hopefully things will work out better than yesterday's pre-sale for most of us.

Nothing for me either. had about a 90 second delay on the "continue" button at the warning thingie, then none available. Today's presale is certainly not up to usual standards....

if anyone was able to get in for philly and has an extra 3 tickets they want to get rid of i am interested. thank you.

See the "how to fight loneliness" thread. Everything in its right place around here...

Breathe. Slowly.

If you have not used the presale from musictoday/ticketstoday before (the one that links from wilcoworld), I would suggest that you quickly get your ID and password set up. Even go in and pretend to buy a ticket from the sales that opened at 10 so make sure that you're fully logged in. Then start pinging on the Nashville one at a couple minutes till 11 EST.

Good luck!

WW now shows the musictoday presale for this for Wed like the other shows, but the musictoday / wilco presale page does not have Nashville on the list yet. I would expect it will appear sometime today, and be in the presale tomorrow.

There was a good version of A Christmas Carol with George C Scott, too, as I recall. I have a 1920 printing of that book that I read every December. It's a great read. And I don't read!

I voted for the Grinch, but Charlie Brown was a close second. I'm actually a bit weary of A Christmas Story. I've seen it so much I think I could recite the whole thing from memory. It's got some great lines, but I just couldn't sit through the whole thing this year. But it does have some awesome lines, from the "deranged Easter bunny" to "Lifeboy" and all the rest.

Good game KY! I will be a KY fan next week and hope you can do what Vandy couldn't today!

Yeah, you and all of GA will be sudden Cat-fans... That's cool. Frankly, I'd love to set the dogs up with LSU for the SEC. After watching the LSU game yesterday I think they're a little ove . But beating UT will be a great clean up for us going into a bowl game. We need a quality W to cap off a good regular season.

Not a bad game by the Cats in GA today... just not a good enough game.

What I Like About You - The Romantics

I was going to list My Sharona by The Knack, not that I like it but becuase I thought it fit the topic, but was surprised to see that it's a 5 minute song. I had no idea it lasted 5 minutes... although it always felt like it lasted a lifetime when it payed on the radio every 30 minutes back in the day.

I cannot think of one think I like about that man. If he's calling a UK game, I am turning on the radio. There are few people on the planet who annoy me more than that guy & his mouth.

Pelphrey, on the other hand.... he's a keeper.

Crisco? Lard?

Best: It's Just That Simple with John singing and Jeff on bass, in Louisville.

(2nd best: the macrame owl in Cinci)

Missed: Tweedy solo... hopefully won't have to repeat that mistake in 08.

Cranberries. It's all about the cranberries.

With the exception of sporting events, CSPAN is just about all I watch on TV. Oh yeah, I'm a REAL fun guy.

You should have that looked at.

Isn't the whole notion of declaring one's qualifications for nerdiness on a message board about an indescribable rock band somewhat... redundant?

UK survives in Nashville today against a decent Vandy.... man, the basement of the SEC ain't what it used to be.

Napoleon, you all better save back a little something for the 24th.

Sooie, well, you know..... Nothing _____s like a big orange. Feel free.

Bad day for the Sooie's....

Here in Kentucky, we root for UK, and anyone playing UT. 'Cept Louisville, of course.

That was less fun than I expected. 25, btw. Could be a connection here...

Kentucky got drilled by Gardner-Webb tonight 84-68. Right now, there are 7732 people on the KY message board.

In a related story, the sun failed to rise this morning throughout the city of Lexington. Fortunately, I was able to drive to work by the ample light given by the steady throng of torches approaching the campus area. The pitchforks were a nuisance, admittedly, but manageable. Film at 11.
