I have NEVER been shut out getting tickets at a TicketMaster outlet. I have also been fortunate enough to get orchestra seats including the front row many, many times. That said, here are my tips: 1. Forget attempting to get tickets solely via telephone or online. Have this be your backup plan by ge...

Bear with me but I'm still learning about digital music. By default my computer wants this to go to Dell's Musicbox/Musicmatch or whatever it's called. I want to send the d/l to Windows Media Player because that's how I synch my Sansa player. I saved the file to wmplayer.exe but I can't locate it a...

Very cool. Took a couple of tries, but was finally able to convert the quicktime video from the CD over to an iPod video format file for viewing and listening pleasure! The sound is not half bad, but certainly not the quality of the CD studio songs.

I just don't understand the hatred of the Yankees comes from. .......... As Jimmy said we should be building bridges not fences. No. No, no, no, no, no ...... no. No. No. Nope. Bridges are for real world, important things. Poverty. War. Religous tolerances and mutual respect. Sports fandom (fanatic...

:evil: More anger than sadness. We Yankee fans are spoiled...I admit. But, you expect that when spending $200 Million on your team. I also think it's poetic justice that these last 6 Yankee teams have flopped. ( Yes, losses to Arizona and Florida in the World Series are flops, because we're SPOILED...

Sharing? Whenever I read it it myself it always sounds like unabashed gloating :D (but then I suppose it is). Thanks! Odd how it was 17+ years ago but still seems so recent.

Re: Stories about meeting Jimmy

Who out there has had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy? I love reading stories on BN about people running into Jimmy at a bar before a show or other places. I have not had the fortune of meeting JB but hope to some day. Have you met Jimmy? What is your story? Isla Mike I was fortunate to bump into Jim...

I went from Dallas to shows in Miami and Manasas.
I'm guessing the time taken to fly to/from Seattle or Miami to the DC area airport was SHORTER than the subsequent drive time into and out of the Nissan Pavilion. Am I right?

Superstitions: What do YOU do to help your team?

We all know it's never just the players and coaches that win or lose the games. WE THE FANS are responsible for our teams' performance out there on the field, ice, court or diamond. What silly/stupid/ridiculous ritual do YOU do to help your team win? When they lost, didn't you feel that somehow it w...

I grew up as a kid in the 60's. I remember being glued to the TV listening to Walter Cronkite for every Gemini and Apollo launch. I kept a scrapbook of every newspaper story I could find.

Aaaaaarg! Missed group 7. Guess I'll drop out now - I don't like new groups added in the middle of the night - the 24 hours seems to fly by too fast. I saw group 7 when I awoke yesterday morning, so in my head I could answer them when I awoke this morning. Oh well.
