2 free tix for Claypool in Philly on Friday--who wants 'em?

Due to a bad combination of circumstances (insert profanities here), Mo and I have to back out on the Les Claypool show on Friday at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. ( http://www.electricfactory.info/ )

But our loss is your gain! The catch: the tix are in Jersey. So you've either gotta cover the cost for overnight shipping to the location of your choice or, if I know you (no offense), come and git 'em.

If you or anyone you know can use these tickets, please give me a shout via email: dirtymartiniii @ gmail . com.

Otherwise I'll feed them to the plants.

Thanks,
Kel

Thanks, honey. I'm really bummed, but despite really, really, really wanting to be there, things are just a bit too messy. (And I am so frustrated to have to cancel on another gathering.)

Gah.

But you guys have a blast for us! Tell Les Primus sucks for me.


And if anyone else wants to go, you can help these two tickets fulfill their destiny!

I might be able to get my brother to come down if no nutters want the tix, so speak up people!

You know I'm upset that you're not going to make it Kel... next time :D

I'd love to tell Les that Primus sucks :wink: , but I think if I get the chance to covey a message it will be "OYSTERHEAD"!!!

Good point, Bets. Then pitch an oyster at his head for me.

No one seems to be wanting these, Bets, so if you want 'em, tell me asap so I can get them to UPS asap. (I really should have just sent them on Monday anyway.)

I'll put a call in to each of my brothers. One is here and one is in Philly, but the one here is a big Les fan... he'll be thrilled. Thanks, Kel.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear from them, but maybe you want to just get them here anyway cuz I can just pass them on to whoever at the gig or try to recover some moolah for you at the door.

Good point again, Bets.

Is there a preference at work for UPS or USPS?

Nah, but USPS priority will probably work better to my PO Box. Check with them, but I think that your zone is one day to mine as long as you get it in before a certain time today. Ugh. I'm sorry that you have to go through this :(

I'll email you the po box.

Yeah, I don't think UPS will deliver to a USPS PO Box. I think USPS Overnight Express might be the only option to guarantee that Betsy gets it tomorrow at her PO Box (Former disgruntled postal worker here).

I can ask if any of my local peeps might want 'em.

Sorry we'll be missing you guys.

I think Bets has some takers, so we're good to go.

Thanks, you lovelies. Have a blast for me!
