ACDC

44 minutes. That's how long it took to sell 38,000 tickets to AC/DC at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. In Manitoba, Winnipeg sold out Canad Stadium in 30 minutes, a venue that holds 41,000.

About two hours after tickets were on sale I logged onto Facebook and found that there were two emotions. The first was: "I HATE TICKETMASTER!!" or "I HATE SCALPERS"!! The second was: "I"M GOIN TO ACDC!!!" or "WOOOOO ACDC"!!! It's to bad the first emotion was used more than the second.

This made me think ... how can people log onto ticketmaster right at 10 and still not get tickets? And how are tickets already on other websites selling for thousands of dollars more before the show is even sold out? Something seems fishy, but how do we prove it? Here I thought this whole credit card/non transferable thing was going to stop scalpers .. apparently not.

If you didn't get tickets ... we've got some to give away ... good luck!!

*************************************

I'm not proud to say it .. but I've developed an addiction over the last two weeks. I cannot stop playing Sims 2: Castaway for the Wii!!


I wake up at 4 in the morning, which means bed time usually comes at 8 or 9. There's only been a handful of times that I've missed that bedtime ... a couple of them has been going to concerts in Saskatoon and having to work the next day .. and the others have come in the last two weeks due to my addiction.

I can't explain it ... I just can't put the Wii controller down. I can't quite put my finger on it .. the other day I was sitting there playing, thinking to myself, "I am not having fun right now, so why am I playing this game?" After that thought I played for another two hours.

I've escaped the island twice now, which means I should be done .. but I still can't quite!! There's still parts of the island I haven't explored, goals I haven't achieved, and huts that I have not built!!!!!

My name is Chance ... and I've become a gamer... REEEEEHHHHHHH!! (that's Jons Geek noise)
