A short story to share with you since the title pretty much says it all. The Ting Ting's are coming to a small venue here in Denver pretty soon. If I were to go online and buy these $20 tickets they add an extra $8.50. Gee thanks guys. If I go to the venue without cash I get charged an extra $2. If I pay cash it's just the straight $20.

Moral of the story? Go buy your tickets at the venues if you can. Even attempt to call the venue and do it that way. In the end you're just going to have to decide if those damn fees (which are definitely going to start getting higher) are worth it.

Read More about the merge of the ticket moguls on CNET

And it looks like I'm going to be saving me some money since this lineup doesn't tempt me at all. Now don't get me wrong there are some great artists on this bill, but there is nothing worth road tripping and then camping out in TN for 3 days for. I will surely see these bands in my hometown soon enough, where they play a small venue and are possibly headlining.

for future reference because i'm going to want to look through all of them.

there are moments when i'd love to start a music site. but i feel i have nothing new to contribute to that area so i'll leave it to someone that is far more dedicated and can bring something new to it. like daytrotter. daytrotter had a unique idea and followed through. now sadly i only go there for that one reason but it's one more reason then other places.

possibly soon i shall have to do an update like seans "my year in music" or something.

in the meantime you can see that i've been a busy concert bee. i bought a new camera and have been having a lot of fun. sadly i've been neglecting the recaps on said fun. but PICTURES LIVE ON!
