So I heard on the radio last night that Prince was going to have a last minute Valentine's day concert and tickets would be going on sale today at 10am. The show was going to be at the Fillmore. That's this great small little concert venue where lots of famous people had had shows. I saw The Offspring, Face to Face, and Rancid there back in 1993!
Anyway, I have to see Prince in concert before I die and seeing him at the Fillmore would be even better. So the radio said the only way to get tickets was online and through the 800 number. So knowing that the 800 numbers sucks because it's either busy or you have to wait for 10 minutes before atually speaking to someone, i opted for the online method.
I went to the website about 5 minutes before the tickets went on sale. I checked to make sure that they weren't already selling the tickets and they weren't. So like a minute or so before 10am i start checking to make sure that I put my order in as soon as possible. So right at 10am it says that tickets are available. I pull the drop down menu to "2 tickets" and click on send and the thing asks me to verify the word being shown (to keep automated systems from buying all the tickets) and then it starts processing my order. 10 seconds later...SORRY THERE ARE NO MORE TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THIS SHOW.
It was not even 3 seconds when I put my order in! How could they possibly be sold out that fast? I was so pissed off. Now i'm not going to get a chance to see Prince. :( More importantly i'm not going to be able to ask a girl to go see Prince with me and get a happy ending at the end of the night.
Oh, that part that the crook wanted me to pay $1,700 for. You know that one that is so hard to get that there is no choice but to sell your child to pay for? Well, I bought that part for $70 shipped via fedex to my door. It's not an aftermarket part. It's a geniune GM part straight from the factory. Someone needs to not be in business anymore if they can't do so honestly.
What i'm probably going to do is take my old catalytic converters off and put the new ones on just for the test. While the old ones are off I'm going to clean them up and then hollow them out. Then after my car passes the smog test i'm going to put the hollow one's back on and leave them there until the next smog test. This way I will have catalytic converters that will never go bad because they will pretty much never be used. I hope you all choke and die from my exhaust.
I would love to be fully in compliance with california's smog laws but they way they are set up makes it impossible for people to not get ripped off. When you have to go to a state sanctioned shop and they try to rip you off then what do you think is going to happen at a regular shop that has nothing to lose? So now I am going to do my part to deplete the ozone just a little bit faster and bring on the next ice age.
