Popularity rank 1 #16. First time at North 6th

March 29, 2005

JOHN: Wow... our first show at North 6th! Man, this rules.
DAN: Hey look! Someone's scalping tickets!

JOHN: Hey man, how much are these going for?
BEN: I dunno, at this point, I guess like $3 each.

BEN: They're been kinda hard to unload. People just don't wanna pay to see one good band and one crappy little local band.

JOHN: Hey... we are that crappy little local band, man.
BEN: OK... well, I could knock it down to $4 for both, but that's about it...

December 28, 2004

CARLOS: I just... I hate using them. I hate it.
STEPHEN: I know, I know, but we have no choice... just click "submit".

SOUND EFFECT: KRAKOW!

TICKETMASTER DEMON: Who dares summon the great and powerful Ticketmaster!
