She’s playing at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR, tomorrow night (Thursday) at 7 or so. My “date” is blowing me off, so I have an extra ticket. I’m not trying to sell it; I’m willing to give it to anyone interested. It’s not a very good seat as it’s in the third section back, but it should be facing the stage. (I’ve never been to Rose Garden before and guessed on the stage setup.) They’re will-call tix, so you’d have to meet me there to get yours. Reply or whatever if you’re interested. ---

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine… I’ll start. > [@](#): > > It’s not a very good seat Damnit, I…I just. Can’t. Do it. It’s too easy! Like shooting blonde bimbos in a barrel. ---

I know it’s cruel but my first thought upon reading the title of this thread was: “Good Lord, burn them both”. Normally I am nicer than this… I hang my head in shame. ---

I wish I could go. Britney is my favourite. ☹ ---

Hmmm… Is Britney over? I had some suite tickets for Britney for a number of months to take my daughters (13 & 10). When I first told them about the tickets, they were so excited. Last week when I reminded them about the show coming up, neither wanted to go any more. I can’t say that I’ll miss her. Anyone else notice her dropping out of favor with their kids? ---

Oh my…must resist… No. I can’t do it. But hey, **Bratti** …If you want to meet some more Portland Dopers, we’re having a get-together Sunday at the St. Johns Pub. (Thread [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=116819).) You can give us a review of the Britney show. ---

Re thread title: isn’t the word ‘extra’ redundant? 😃 ---

Apropos of nothing, I had a roommate who went to an NSync concert to meet lots of young horny girls. It worked. So, ladies, if you want to meet young horny guys (seeing as how they’re in such short supply), you may want to consider this. ---
