So, for my birthday I was going to go see Rancid and AFI on Sunday. I saw both bands together about 5 or so years ago at this small club in north-western Ontario and I had a lot of fun and I thought it would be kinda cute to see them again after all this time. Seeing as I was downtown today wasting a couple hours and trying to do some shopping I went to pick up a few tickets only to find out that the show is sold out.. just my luck. So wandering around Ste Catherine's street I was trying to come up with a way to sketch myself into getting some tickets for the show. And I turned up empty handed. My conncetions in the "punk rock" world have pretty much dried up as I haven't really been as into it as I used to be. Back when I was 15 or so it wouldn't have been a problem for me to find a way to get into a show.. I used to do it all the time. I knew people and stuff.. and I was this cute lil punk rock girl with a shaved head and green bangs and I just had a way with bands. If I had wanted to get into a club or to see a DJ it wouldn't be a problem for me. All I would have to do is make a few phone calls and I'd be on the list or have some free passes or whatever. I mean, a few weekends ago my friends and I were sitting around this trendy restaurant on St Laurent and we managed to get on the list for two clubs that night, got free passes to another one and passes to an afterhours club for the next day. And had we wanted to go to a few other clubs all it would have taken was a phone call. But alas, my skills in sketching my way into punk rock shows aren't what they used to be. I must be getting old. *sigh* So, looks like I won't be going to see Rancid and AFI afterall. I'm going to keep trying and asking around and stuff, but more likely than not I won't be able to find anything.
