PLEASE KEEP YOUR POSTS SHORT
   Now that many list members are back with us, the volume of posts will
be increasing. This makes it important to stay on topic and keep your
posts concise.  Avoid the tendency to ramble, as this increases the
amount of text readers have to wade through. If you want to ramble on,
take it to IRC or the newsgroup.
   Also remember to be very selective in your quoting of others'
messages. Don't quote an entire post just to add one or two lines. And
be especially careful not to quote the whole digest!!

Subject: St. Louis INFO!

Okay, I just went to buy tickets, and the show was not in the computers.  So
the nice sales people called up there inside info people (whoever that is) and
they said that the tickets go on sale at 5:00 on Friday, and that this is to
be announced today at 5.. soooo I got my info an hour early.  Anyway, the only
way to get this tickets is either in STL at a Capital Tickets place (i think)
or you can call Dial-Tix at  314-298-7426.  St. Louis does not use ticket
master so don't bother waiting for them to pick up the phones.  <g>

hey armchairites, 
i've been a subscriber for a while, this is my first
post.  name's mel, live in ontario, that's all ya
need to know right now.

me being the huge BF5 fan i am, i emailed saturday
night live at snl@nbc.com (i think) and complained
about the amount of time the guys were given to
perform.  i was p o'd about the playing conditions
(where was the grand piano???) and the amount of
time.  every other time i've seen a band on SNL they
always played 2 songs.  were the ignorant idiots at
SNL unaware the BF5 can play more than one song???
give me a break here! it's outrageous.  anywho, i
emailed them about this, and this is the form letter
i got back. you know what, i hate form letters with a
passion.  so, not only am i ticked at the show for
not giving the boys enough airtime, but they sent me
a form letter!  

read to your hearts content, but not if you have a
weak stomach.
