I see. Yeah, I inevitably buy at least 2 tickets to every show I go to.

Oh yeah if you are gay you are prohibited from donating blood. Not that I would ever want to, I am terribly afraid of needles.

They are $12 on ticket master, but with all the charges it ends up being around $20 each, which is $40 total for two tickets. And I need gas/merch money.

If I bought it at the door, it'd be $14 dollars each. I've never bought at the door though, is there a chance it'll sell out (Troubadour)?

SynthethicalY 04.17.2007 12:04 AM

Well go very early then.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 04.17.2007 12:04 AM

you post-punk-indie-hardcore-emo-goth-rockers and your "gas/merch" money

I'm thinking about going to that show.

Is your husband hot?

Go to the show, Hayden has been encouraging me to go. He says Xiu Xiu was the best live show he saw last year.

Now I feel shitty about being broke. As for lawn mowing and babysitting, everyone has gardners in my neighborhood, and my sister has a monoply on the babysitting biz.

ALIEN ANAL 04.17.2007 08:36 AM

sell two 25 bags?

jon boy 04.17.2007 08:37 AM

i would say dont go and see xiu xiu and spend the money on something better but no doubt someone will take offence.

try car washing, asking people if they need odd jobs doing or selling something.

then get her to pay for the tickets....why do you have to buy her one when she's the one with the money?

I like !@#$%!'s suggestion of going to a work site early in the morning.
Are there any college buildings where they are doing landscaping?
That might be easier, although, in most cases they just have you hauling debris away from the site onto the back of a pick-up going to the dump.
Framers don't use hammers these days, they use nail-guns.

You could also call remodelers from your phone book and see if they need any laborers or assistants on any of their jobs. That would be less intensive. Surely you can hold a board and carry some building materials around for a carpenter.

I've done all these jobs before when I needed money. Many pay cash. I wonder how many of you that persistently project onto me some pretentious label have ever had a job where you had to swing a maddock (sledge hammer, jr.) around for two 3-hour sessions a day six days a week?

You could get people some controlled substances and be a middle-man too.

But no, you'd rather beg people for money.

I'm telling you all, that no matter whatever happened to me, I could never be a beggar...ever. I don't despise them, in fact, I often will listen to them or give them a little spare change. I've even been somewhat acquainted with a few street crazies in my life. I particularly vividly recall one bored Saturday summer afternoon on College Square in Athens as I sat in on a game of "baseball." But, I just know I could never do it.
And the thing is, I know would be excellent at being a beggar, but that doesn't matter.

$50 ! ... really? .... that's insane! they dont worth that much. not even half!

HaydenAsche 04.17.2007 03:11 PM

I'll give you 10 dollars for a blowjob.

You need money to buy drugs before you can sell them. No one is going to front some kid a QP or anything.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 04.17.2007 03:36 PM

not if you know the grower/dealer really well

and to make 50 dollars all you need is like a half ounce of weed, not a QP

Alex's Trip doesn't know anyone. That's what I'm saying. He's a kid with no experience. I could find someone to front me that much but I doubt he can.

Suck dick. It's your only option.
