Dammmmit

The Beastie Boys are playing the Crocodile on Friday night.

According to all accounts, tickets sold out in about 10 seconds. This is the second time I've missed one of these shows at the Crocodile. I was three places away from getting tickets to the Strokes show last year.

The show has set of pandamonium in Seattle, as about 4 generations of music fans are pining to get in. I am now left consoling myself by reading what people are willing to offer on craigslist in exchange for Beasties tickets. One dude is using his companion ticket as leverage for a blind date, complete with requests that applicants send a photo. Another guy is offering his motorcycle. If you have a spare minute and need to feel good about your limits, follow the link.

Seriously. Before you sell your last scrap of dignity to go to this, consider plopping out 50 bucks and the cost of a tank of gas to drive out to the Gorge and see them play Sasquatch. Sure, it's a giant venue without the intamcy, but you might actually see a few other bands you might like. You'll have one fewer thing to atone for in your next life.

Enjoy the weekend whatever you decide brave craigslister.
