Fuck Detroit. And My Life.

by J-Mill on Oct 27, 2009 10:49 PM CDT

Story time, GTers: my 21st birthday is 11/20, and the one thing I was hounding my mother for as a birthday gift (since it'd be weird to ask my mother for tequila) was tickets to the Blues/Fuck Detroit game on the 28th.

For those of you who don't know (which is probably everyone), I'm an aspiring actor at SIU-Carbondale, where I was cast this semester in Lysistrata (which, for those of you who aren't familiar, is a Greek comedy with more dick jokes than an issue of Game Time). But then I find out that our first Cue-to-Cue rehearsal - the most important technical rehearsal - was scheduled for November 28th - 10 am-11pm (yeah, they usually take that long). I then tell my mother to disregard my requests for Blues/Fuck Detroit tickets as I wouldn't be able to use them anyway.

Yeah, she had already bought them.

So I then had to go about selling them via StubHub. It took a couple weeks, but I finally got a buyer a week ago - at about 30% off of face value. I put them in the mail one week ago today.

Flash forward to tonight's rehearsal. We got a new rehearsal schedule with changed dates for tech week.

We no longer have rehearsal on November 28th.

FUCK DETROIT!!!!!!

Fuckin' A. This sucks.

My birthday is the 25th, so I’ll be there, with RFJCC in tow. If you get tickets, join us in 316.

Sometimes, I wonder why hockey came south of St. Louis, and then I realize, I'm south of St. Louis. Coincidence, I think not.

26th Baby

Which fucking sucks for drinking because if your hungover as fuck on thanksgiving your just an alcoholic or have a terrible family. Check check.

Anyway I’m going for the 25th game against the Dallas Otts as well.

Jesus man

It appears the Fickle Finger Of Fate has goat fucked you.

You’re only hope is some loser postal employee is rat holing mail in their house and the Feds bust him between now and the game. Make the call now, ya never know.

Some days its just not worth chewing through the restraints

So take the money you got

go on Craigslist as it gets closer or stubhub and buy another pair.
There will surely be some out there as it gets closer and people realize this is Thanksgiving weekend and things come up.

I've always had good luck with

TheTicketGuys.com. I got a lower bowl seat for the home opener for 75 bucks, and bought the night before the game. They’ll leave them in will call, and there’s no extra charges or fees, like Ticketmaster…
