   I didn’t even try for the Asheville show because I kinda figured this would happen. Happens anytime really, for any really good act, at any venue. (smashing pumpkins anyone?) However, I set my intentions to the Atlanta show and got two tickets in row C. Stoked!

   I wonder if it would help everyone’s chances to use a super-fast internet connection? Try your local spot with killer dedicated bandwidth.

   The UNCA campus seems to have some dedicated T1s (big internet pipes); my connection there is commonly super-fast. There are computer rooms in the library, Karpen, New Hall and Zageir anyone could pop in and use.
