Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, March 27 2013 (10:45 – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“The concert date has been announced, the advertisements have been posted. Time for the mostly annual ‘ticket-buying adventures’ podcast! (Special appearance by Jacob. The Clyne cast starts at 38.22.)”
01:18 – I admit, I overreacted. After all, we are all of us members of the FSGL.
03:31 – nope; for once I was fairly accurate
04:47 – no, as you can see (below) Jackson Browne is mentioned the newspaper article
09:32 – “Buffett’s appearance at Comerica Park last July marked the largest single-night Buffett concert in history.” (Source: WXYZ.com)

15:47 – an effort was made to record the conference call, but, by either hooking something up to my cellphone or by calling in through Skype; but, frankly, I was leery of complicating or jeopardizing things
18:58 – “the first time”; that is last year, when I first used tickets.com. All these adventures are quite similar to last years, as heard in Episode 162.
24:31 – and my tickets showed up in the mail eight days later
28:54 – Life as a Pirate Hooker, as seen on Facebook
29:13 – which we reviewed in Episode 164
30:53 – a “Convenience Fee” of approximately $27 per ticket, with a last-second $5 “Order Processing” fee as a parting shot
