Our Internet connection was down at work this morning for about 2 hours when I came in, and I felt like I was suffocating. Maybe it's because I'm so reliant on the Net for work-and-entertainment-related info that I really don't have anything to do here when it's not working. Anyway, it's back up again now, and just in time for me to order 2 tickets for the Throwing Muses show at Irving Plaza next weekend! I have to make sure I can work out all the logistics of getting out there, places to stay, etc., but it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Let me just state for the record just how much I loathe TicketBastard. There were no more tickets available through Virtuous, so I had to go through TM. $13.60 in "Convienience" charges and $3.90 in "Order Processing" fees later, and I'm coughing up $54.50 for *two* tickets! This is not Lollapalooza! It's just a show! Gah!

I'm gonna try and get in nice and close and take some cool pictures.
