Ticketmaster..................................

Bruce tickets went on sale at 9:00AM EST on 2.2.09. I logged on and put in my request for two tickets. I was put in line and told that there was roughly a 15 minute waiting period. After about 25 minutes a screen popped up claiming an error due to "routine maintenance". The funny thing is that on the right side of the screen tickets were available for purchase from Tickets Now (owned by Ticketmaster) for several hundred dollars more than face value. I tried again and again for most of the day and received the same error. Around 4:00, I finally got through and there were no tickets available, but if I wanted to pay $300 a ticket, there was the ad for Tickets Now on the right side of the screen. If it was just me, I would leave it alone, but there were a lot of people that had the same issue and now Rep. Bill Pascrell is looking into the issue. Bruce has released an apology to fans. And it was just released that State Police arrested a scalper from North Arlington that had 30K of the missing tickets that weren\'t available. The article states "But inside Napalitano’s coat, police found a business card from Ticketmaster CEO Sean Moriarty. On the back of the card was a note, “Call me when you sell all of these. I may have some more.”

Screw ticketmaster...

I\'m sure that it\'s not 100% factual, but in every rumor, there is some truth

the easiest way to hide the truth is to publicize it.... no one really seems to care if everything comes out, all is forgiven. but try to keep it a secret and people find out about it and your labeled the anti-Christ. look at Dachle.... "oh they\'re going to find out about me skipping out on 120K in back taxes.... I\'m sorry everybody" oh thats ok Tom you can still be director of Health Services.... i\'m glad he was man enough to pass up his nomination. you or i would be in jail right now if we owed 120K to the government.

and i can\'t believe Madoff isn\'t getting butt **** in jail. goes to show, enough money can get you out of just about anything, including murder right OJ.

Madoff should be hung in the street and let the people whose lives he destroyed skin him with a peeler.

this debacle is large enough that "they" should rename it a Madoff Scheme.

Another thing that grinds my gears, Spacey\'s **** poor attitude. Alot of people don\'t know this, but his **** poor attitude is responsible for Billy Powells death. Fuckin\' guy lives through a plane crash, then you go and send\'em **** up.

Don\'t be upset with me because I denied every advance towards me. I just want to be friends.

There is always a car parked in front of one of my favorite breakfast spots up here that has a bumper sticker that says

REAL MEN LOVE JESUS

It makes me laugh.

Also, what is secondary virginity?!
