I think I have mad cow

Post by z-parrothead »

I am pretty sure I have mad cow.
We are thinking about ponying up for front row seats to the Atlanta show.
If anyone has a true connection to Jimmy, could you please tell him you know a poor "sponge cake nibbler" that mortgaged his meager home to be able to have front row seats for once in his life. [smilie=beadygrinner.gif]

I had a mad cow once. But when we were finished, we both had a cigarette, took in the moment and she wasn't that mad anymore. :pirate:

Be patient. The brokers will be fishing with their exorbitantly high prices until the concert date gets closer.

I ponied up for front row at Fenway. It was worth it only because as I die hard Red Sox fan I had the oppurtunity to be like 15 feet when Jimmy "broke the curse" . . . I made it on the DVD as well. Not sure what they are getting for front row in Atlanta but I paid 250 for mine at Fenway - I think face value was 80 something bucks.

I should note that the guy I got the ticket off of was not a broker. Just a guy who worked for a company who got good seats for Fenway. Be careful. I see tickets for shows like Gillette going for thousands. NOT worth it.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Wow. 250 for Front Row at anywhere is a pretty good deal. I think we would all pony up for that.
So now I start my search for my Atlant "guy" with a connection :wink:

$250 for seats like those is a great deal!!! Nissan Orch row F are going for $2000 on the StubHub site. I think who ever is selling them had some mad cow!! [smilie=blush.gif]

Like I said, it wasn't a broker that I bought from. I think the guy thoguht he was screwing me because he had very little knowledge about the whole Buffett thing. Front row is cool but when you are at Buffett it really doesn't matter unless you are in the back row of Gillette this year or something like that. You can't have a bad time at Buffett so I wouldn't stress too much about front row.

In fact, I saw front row seats once for Buffett go for 1,200 bucks and 5th row in the same section went for 600 . . . if that is the case this year then go with 5th row. Same thing, really.

Well, here's my thing. I am 6 ft 4...wife is 5 ft 4...If I can get close enough to increase my chances of catching the flip flop, I will be a hero in my home.
If I actually CATCH the flip flop, I have no idea of the power I would possess..but I am willing to find out 8) :pirate: :wink:

doesn't sound like mad cow so much as three-generations-of-first-cousins-marrying-first-cousins.. Isn't no spiffy name for that outcome. :D

hey LB..nah, she's a parrothead too, so its actually pretty easy to get her to agree on anything JB.
But it does bring up the question..are there parrotheads in here that their spouses are not parrotheads?...is it even possible?

k.. "mad cow" is the street name. There is actually a full-on medical term for the disease which escapes me at the moment, tho it starts with K. Said disease is a chance thing, you just happened to the last piece of beef full of prions (sp?) that push you over the edge, thus being in the right place at the right time/wrong place, right time sorta thing. Kinda like getting front row seats in the Ticketmaster lottery.

On the other hand, 3 generations of first cousins marrying is a choice, or string of choices. Deciding whether to mortgage the house to get front row seats from a scalper/broker is a conscious thing.

There are plenty out there. Most usually get converted, divorced or left at home.
