RE: RADIOHEAD TICKETS! PLEASE READ

(this is a note I posted on Facebook, so if you don't have facebook and happen to read my blog, here you are)

Dear friends,

This note is mainly for the people who are in the Pacific Northwest area.

OK people, so you've heard me blabbing on and on about the upcoming Radiohead tour to our area. Ok... HERE'S THE DEAL:

My colleague Jacob and I have 6 tickets for VANCOUVER all together. We got these off a radiohead.com presale, so they were $70 rather then upwards of $300. Two of them are for Jacob and I, so that leaves 4 (only FOUR) extra for people who want to come. I will be selling these tickets AT the price I got them, so I'm not screwing you over or anything, and its gunna be REALLY fun and everyone will have a great experience.

NOW... heres another part of the deal:

We are not just jumping up to Vancouver and then back again. We are getting lots people and resources together for a few days before hand, and going up to Port Angeles, taking a ferry to BC (get your passports ready and ditch your drugs at the boarder cause there will be plenty where we're goin-i mean er um), and driving about 50+ miles up to a place called HORNBY ISLAND. (http://www.hornbyisland.com)
This place is a paradise like you've never seen in the Gulf Islands. Like Indianola, or Bainbridge island the way it used to be 30 years ago, Hornby is still a small community of alternative, informed and hippy-esque people. (and a disproportionate amount of beautiful women) Theres a post office, grocery store... and thats about it, I think. There's a mile long cresent-moon shaped shallow water beach, so when the tide goes out in the morning, the sun heats it up during the day and when it comes back in again, the water is damn warm for night swimming. The water is a clear blue/green, and the sand is PURE white and super fine to the touch. Beautiful people stride in the hot summer sun, and theres camp grounds and a mobile taco stand right off the beach. Every night, tons of the local and visiting young people make bond fires and chill out on the beach. Theres also PRIME skim-boarding there. Have I sold this place to you enough? In a word, this place ROCKS. Its beautiful, and not too crazy/touristy because you actually have to go out of your way to get there.

Anyway, the plan is to go up there for a few days, then get a BC ferry to Vancouver in time for the Radiohead show. Does this not sound like an awesome time? Even if you dont have/get tickets to the RH show, I think you should still come to this place, because its truly amazing.


Now.. onto the next point:
I know all you, my dear friends, on some level, want see Radiohead, and you've all expressed to me that you would really like to go to this show. But realize that I've only got 4 extra tickets, which creates a small problem for me. I want to take you all, but I just can't, and I also can't bring myself to pick and choose those of you who I want to come more then anyone else, because I all want you to come see them live, cause its an amazing thing, seeing this band!

So after some counsel and soul searching, I've decided, this is how you're can get your ticket from me at non-scalped price:

THE FIRST 4 PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GIVE ME $70 DOLLARS, WILL GET A TICKET.

Its that simple. If you truly wanna see them, you gatta step up and fight for your right to party AT THE FRONT OF THE BARRIER, IN THE ARMS OF THOM YORKE.

OK, so, I need to be clear that: if you buy a ticket from me, you HAVE to come camping with us. I know, I know, "wah wah wah you're mean, eric" As my dad would say, "just get over it." :) (I'm also keeping all the tickets nice and safe in my bra for the whole trip.)

So you also will have to come camping. Ok? Thats commitment, baby!

Ok, thats it, and thats how this is gunna work. I love you all equally. If you're feeling adventurous, you can not get a ticket, and come to the venue and try to get one (or sneak in, which if you are successful, will be an even more awesome story,) or just come anyway! either way, we're gunna have an amazing time! we'll be making memories we'll never forget! How priceless is that?!? :)

Here are the dates/plan:

(tentatively)
• Drive to Hornby: August Thursday, 14

• Leave Hornby in afternoon, Monday, 18th, get to Vancouver (hostel?)

• Tuesday 19th: RADIOHEAD DAY. I get up super early and start camping out at front of venue. I run to front barrier. Anyone wanna run too?

• Wednesday (early morning), 20th: leave for Seattle. Drop people off in city, at ferry, etc. Jacob and I and any other dare-devils go to Auburn to see the next Radiohead show.

If we wanna camp longer/shorter, we can discuss that. Anyway, I want everyone I know to come, because this could be really really fun, and if we plan it out in advance, we wouldn't have to worry that much about money and rushing and whatnot.

(Also, if there are people who just wanna designate a car for just the camping and partying in Vancouver, and not Radiohead, thats totally cool too, and you can just come back to WA whenever you feel like it.)

OK whew. That's a lot.

So remember, if you wanna come onboard this brill plan and get a Radiohead ticket for REALLY cheap, you need to physically, or actually give me $70 dollars, and then i'll make sure you get one of those 4 tickets because I know you're committed to it.

Alright... I think thats all.
Email/call/IM if you have any kwezchunz.

Love love love-
