I made it to the DMC Regionals (writeup here), and I’ve got a ticket for the Paid Dues Tour. I’m also going to try and make it to Theo Parrish, which sounds quite intriguing. I’d love to get to Rock the Bells, but it was that or Paid Dues (Felt! Brother Ali! Cage!). Maybe the Ticket Fairy will visit me .

Edit: The only thing worse than QBert not coming to Minneapolis is QBert coming to Minneapolis on a date I can’t make. OMG!

1. For the Strange Noize Tour, you can buy the VIP package, and meet & greet all of the touring artists. You also get nearly a dozen autographed CDs, some posters, a t-shirt, and various other goodness. Seems like a deal to me (not one that I’ll pay $150 for, but…I was seriously tempted).
