I picked mine up today, and they were numbers 17 through 20 if that
helps give an estimate of the rate at which they're selling.  I asked
the clerk what people from out of town should do if they wanted
tickets:

Me:     Do they have to have someone in New York come in for them?
Clerk:  Well, this is the only place people can buy tickets.
        [pause]
        And they are cash only.
        [pause]
        So, uh, yeah.

I'm willing to volunteer as a proxy purchaser, also.  This pretty much
sums up why, though Other is a great shop and only ten minutes from
me, I still get most of my records from PJ.

Speaking of which, I have to rant, so stop reading now.  I thought PJ
was just getting in on the fun when he listed SKA000.  But when it
showed up on the Juno list I figured it was for real.  Now, I'm no
nationalist, but anyone stateside who would rather sacrifice all their
dignity by spending 11.51UKP on a *goddamn frisbee* from Andy Maddocks
instead of spending less money to check out some quality, new,
homegrown IDM like the Jake Mandell e.p. or the Lexaunculpt 12" wins a
free limited-edition ass-kicking from me.  You can pick it up at the M
ixmaster Morris show tonight.  Blue t-shirt, grey slacks, blue Adidas.
I'll be waiting.

alright, it's time for my nap,
Danny.
