I cant tell if you are serious or not but I'll answer like you are since I have a flight to wait for.
I suppose I could have posted an ad but I would have had 20 replies and then I have to tell people no and ultimatly decide which lucky asshole gets the ticket. That's not really a decision I wanted to make.
I checked for any sob stories from people saying how much they love M83 and how they missed tickets because blah blah but they were all just ads saying " I want tickets (plural) and I'll pay this much"
Turns out this guy has an out of town number so he either did just move here or is traveling in for the show, or maybe just happened to be in town this weekend. Either way, he seemed pretty grateful. Just because he has moneydoesnt make him any more or less a fan of the band than the broke college kid.
Oh and the hypothetical hot sister doesn't really help me unless she's bi and willing to have a 3some with my girlfriend and I. But since she's hypothetical I guess anything is possible.

Haha yep. I've been finally picking up on that pattern lately. It's quite a fun game. Yeah, Canadians are like that super crazy chick you dated who was totally cool at first, but the more time you spend with her, you start noticing that she; sobs uncontrollably whenever you mention a female friend or whenever she watches BRAVO, refers to common terms and phrases with a set of slang you've never heard of, develops a strange foreign accent when she drinks that is more prominent the drunker she gets, has a collection of 100+ CareBears displayed on a shelf wrapping around her bedroom, constantely accuses you of cheating, doesn't actually have girlfriends, secretly spends hours a day listening to country music, pops pills like candy, adds extra unnecessary letters to common words in her text messages, and continually refers to you in the past tense. |

I think he just called every Canadian a crazy person that sobs uncontrollably whenever they hear their national anthem or whenever they watch hockey, ends common terms and phrases with eh and hey, develops a strange French accent when they drink that is more prominent the drunker they get, has a collection of 100+ Canadian flags displayed on a shelf wrapping around their bedroom, constantly accuses you of belittling their country, doesn't actually have a country, secretly spends hours a day listening to American music, eats poutine like candy, adds extra unnecessary "u"s to common words in their text, and continually reminds you how much they love CANADA.  |

I think the main thing to take away from that post is that there was a time when know liked canadians.

Has anyone here seen Austra live before? It's literally the first time a band that interests me has come through this shithole. I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is worth it to set foot in the cowboy themed bar in town.

They actually always play Fingertips but that was the best it has sounded since forever. They played Snail Shell and How Can I Sing Like a Girl and it was so fucking wonderful. I love those may be giants.

So I just got Mangum tickets. I'd never done the whole try and buy tickets the instant they go on sale thing before so I kind of fucked it up. I pulled 3 main floor row N tickets my first pull and for some reason being the idiot I am, figured I'd search for a pair of tickets and see if I can pull something better. I did it in a new tab but apparently when you do that you forfeit your other tickets. So we had absolutely amazing seats and i traded them for just pretty good seats...oh well...Show sold out in like 5 minutes

Whoever just opened for the arkells was possibly the best opener I have ever seen. They had a huge parachute!
It was totally gimiicky but so much fun, I will post pictures when I am sober enough to figure it out.

M83. Holy. Shit.
That was one of the best shows I've seen all year, and I totally didn't expect it. I went in thinking, "oh cool their new album is really good so it'll be cool to hear all of those songs". Once the show started though... LIGHTS. EVERYWHERE. Not only did their songs sound even better live, the light show was just fantastic. Best $15 I've ever spent.

Me and some friends got some tickets for Mangum's show in Atlanta (hint hint fer hangtimes CatStamp). So glad I'm seein' him in a general admission venue. Wanted to see 'im in Athens since it'd be a hometown show and whatnot, but oh well.
Also, I learned a valuable lesson when buying these tickets. When ticketmaster's online sales are fucked, try the phone. I was able to get tickets an hour after they went on sale over the phone after so many times just getting a message of "there was an error in processing the tickets" for an hour. The automated phone thing was actually pretty easy and painless. It took a while but only because you have to give them a billion pieces of information.
So the moral of this story: Don't be afraid to try ticketmaster by phone.
