Tenacious D will most likely be sold out by Sept. 28. Could someone buy me a ticket and save me a three-hour round trip? I’m good for it, honest. Even better, win a free ticket and the privelege of introducing the band at [http://www.tenaciousd.com](http://www.tenaciousd.com), sell me yours, and you got drinkin’ money! A motivated Doper is a shoo-in to win this one. Contest open to legal U.S. residents only…boooooo! P.S. Word to the wise: I’m no longer a hard drinker, which makes my attempts at hard drinking so much _funnier_! ---

**eunoia** , I’ve got an extra ticket, so if ya want to buy it from me, it’s yours! I also agree that a meal at Halverson’s or some similar establishment would be a good idea. For those of you going to the Tenacious D concert on the 28th, it could be a two-day-mega-dopefest! Oh, I know this is kind of late, but… _arrrrrgh! Avast ye, maties, and think well before ye be messin’ with me fellow dopers! Bring me some grog, and we be dancin’ on yon table-tops before sunrise, arrrgh!!!_ ---

I’m in. And the show sounds good. Drinking is a requirement as I too am going back to school on Wed and by then I’ll need it. 🙂 ---

Out of idle curiosity, would anyone allow me to crash on their couch between the 28th and 29th? It just doesn’t seem worth it to go for the concert and then come back the next day. My plans: Go to concert on the 28th. If anyone else is coming, let your voice be heard so I’ll know to look out for you. Dopefest on the 29th. Woo-ha. 🙂 So… who’s with me? ---

**andygirl** I’ve probably got a couch you could crash on if you’d like. I’m just psyched to hear some of you all are also going to the concert that night! \*I’ll count to three and then you just kick it, ok? one, two, three, kick it!\* ---

Well, SwimmingRiddles, I say Alburgh, you say Alburg. Anyway, when did you play against the Alburgh girls? I ask because I went to school there between 1985 and 1994. peace, JB ps. Inbreeding might have something to do with it, but I think the difference in size might have something to do with the Missle Base right down the road. Maybe its like Alburghs own Area 51 where the Government does strange experiments on alien space craft. Something to think about? ---

Being as I’m old enough to remember when the Beatles were a going concern, I’ll forego joining you at Tenacious D’s concert. Although I’m sure watching Mr D perform such standards as “Karate Schnitzel”, “Cock Pushups”, or “Fuck Her Gently” is a sight I’d not soon forget. Looking forward to meeting everyone on Saturday. ---

**andygirl** yep, I’ve got a ticket for you too if you want it (I bought a bunch extra in case anyone I knew wanted to go). Well, looks like I’m getting drinks from everyone that night! Who volunteers to carry me home? ---
