There is a rally in Prescott Valley on Saturday. I have six tickets but they were free. I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to pay for them, such a waste of money that could be better used to pay for beer or something of value. ETA: I now have 8 tickets.Idiots in charge keep spamming me and I keep accepting. ---

Grab all the tickets you can. The more empty seats the Orange Peril has to face, the better. If you collect enough of them, in the fall you can use them as kindling in the fireplace. ---

Well, that tracks. A lot of these are not in major metropolitan areas but in smaller cities with regional airports. The private plane fees are vastly cheaper, and it’s easier to fill smaller venues or at least easier to hide the lack of a packed crowd.
