Smash the pumpkin

In late May, the Smashing Pumpkins concert in late July went on sale. I tried to get tickets, having my sister try to buy them on her computer exactly at 10 am.

Unfortunately, by the time she was able to click the buy button, the tickets had sold out. Nothing left.

I was dismayed, but hey I only liked a few of their songs during the nineties era.

And fortunately, I wasn’t that deluded to go on craigslist to buy tickets. Unbeknownst to many people (and myself), the concert was lackluster and overly gratuitious. Their weeklong stint could not have possibly been worse according the SF Chronicle article.

I told a friend about this and she seemed to have been all-knowing about it—saying that of course she knew that the members of the band weren’t really there. And that the band wasn’t real.

And so the search continues for the next greatest concert to attend.

  1. Rage Against the Machine is touring this summer, if you’re into that sort of thing. =)

  2. I’ve seen them twice, and both times Billy Corgan was extremely pissy with both his bandmates and the crowd. The second show was even cut a little short because of said pissiness. Not worth sitting through their show in the hopes that you might hear “I am one” at some point.
