early onset / mother FRACKER

argh.

sure, i saw james brown last fall in oakland, but then i heard about an upcoming show he was doing at bimbo’s 365 club. really small venue, so you’d get to see him really close up and experience the godfather of soul in person. like so close you can FEEL the dynamite!

i figure that if i can’t or decide i don’t want to go, i’ll just sell the tickets to someone on craigslist later.

so i buy tickets.

here it is, a couple of months later, and i realize the show is on sunday for mlk weekend. only i’m suddenly going to tahoe for some boarding this weekend (!!) and so i need to sell or give away the tickets.

should be no problem, right?

only I CAN’T FIND THEM.

i’ve looked in all the normal places. i’ve looked in all the abnormal places. i’ve looked in all the places that i might have accidentally put them. i’ve looked in placed that i wouldn’t put them in a million years.

besides confirming the fact that i’m rapidly losing my mind and in general a big bonehead, what’s the big deal? well, how about the fact that this was a “very special exclusive” concert. where “very special” means “very expensive” and “exclusive” means “$125 a ticket”.

which means that i’ve misplaced almost $300 if you toss in the ticket mafia service charge.

mother fracker.

i’ve been looking for a week now, and i have no idea where they are. it’s possible that i just recycled them sometime, as that seems to be a very popular thing for me to do with important items lately. other things that i tried to recycle and had to fish out of the bin downstairs:

• hmc’s paycheck
  
• mail rental dvd from greencine
  
• hmc’s paycheck (yes, again, but with a different one)

at this rate, there’s no way i’m buying tickets for burning man this year. even in the slim chance that we do go, what are the odds that i can hold onto the tickets for that long?
