So... a lot of you nerds here are secretly connected to Wizkids.

I need to contact the muckety-muck at Wizkids in hopes of getting some prize support out of them for a big event I am running as a protest against Magic the Gathering at my venue.

Who do I contact?

I miss Munchoboy!

I saw Motley Crue last night. I'm not a fan of their music, but the show was pretty good.

Did you go with someone who is a fan? Why go at all?

He said he is not a fan of their music.
That doesn't mean he can't get his jollies watching Vince Neil shake his booty.

I guess I'm just wondering why someone would buy tickets for a band they aren't a fan of. He didn't say he bought tickets so they could have been free. I was just looking for some explanation of why he'd go to a show when he didn't like the band.

Here's a list of things I won't buy tickets to or go to if they were free:
- Meatloaf
- Guns N Roses
- Queen (even if they resurrect Mercury)
- Try-outs for sports radio call-in guests (Too many "um's" or "you know's" for my taste)
- Anything that involves jingly bells
- A Philadelphia 76ers Game
- Competitive tin-foil chewing
- Chalk board of nails orchestra

I'm not a fan of Train, but I saw them in concert once.

One morning I heard the craptastic radio station at work talking about a contest to win a cruise to the Bahamas. A little later I heard the words "Led Zeppelin" cut through. That caught my attention in time to catch that they were saying that was the answer to a trivia question for a contest and that they'd be asking the question between a certain set of times in the afternoon.
That afternoon I happened to notice when they asked the question. Figuring that I stood a chance of winning a trip to the Bahamas I called the station.
I won.
Of course, I did not win a trip to the Bahamas. That was some other contest. No, I won tickets to go see Train live.
They actually didn't air the winning phone call, either. It went something like:
"Hi there, this is WXYZ radio. You're our Nth caller. Do you know the answer to the question?"
"Um, is it 'Led Zeppelin?'"
"That's correct."
"Oh, really. Wow."
"You've got tickets to go see Train on the 32nd of Smarch."
"To go see who?"
"Uh...Train. You know. You just answered the trivia question about them."
"Oh. No, sorry. I don't know who they are. I was just regurgitating the answer I heard this morning. I thought I was trying to win a cruise."
"No. This is for Train. You know...Meet Virginia...Hey Soul Sister."
"Oh, yeah, I guess I've heard those ones. So I won tickets to see them, huh?"
"You sure did, and you're being put into a drawing to win a meet and greet with the band and win an autographed electric guitar, signed by the band."
"Oh ok."

I was not the ideal winner for advertisement purposes.

Side note: I have an electric guitar autographed by the band Train if anyone is interested in a trade.

I'll trade you my Better Than Ezra autographed guitar for it!

That's tempting.

You are close. My wife wanted to go, as she is a fan. As I like to watch my wife dance, I went.

Your story checks out.

I'd ask why you'd marry a fan of Motley Crew but the answer is always vagina (sometimes with a side of great rack)!

I wouldn't say always anymore. With the legalization of homosexual marriage there may be dozens of people who are not Mötley Crüe fans getting hitched to Mötley Crüe fans for the wiener.

It could have been worse. It could have been a Poison concert.

The funniest thing I saw last night was a guy who looked to be in his late 40s/early 50s who had on a jacket that said "Warrant She's My Cherry Pie" on the back. It looked like a really nice/expensive jacket, too. I wondered where else and when else who wore that jacket. Is he really limited in when he can wear it, and maybe he looks for ANY 80s band concerts to go to just to wear that jacket.

Another thing...my wife is black. She likes Punk Rock (which I vehemently do not), and so we go to those concerts. One of the games we play is "find another black person in the audience". We played that last night, and lost. I really think she may have been the only black person in the audience.

It's either that or you just suck at looking!

I suspect they have better taste!
