I was only aware of the tickets price last week - my life has been quite crazy, and since we shutdown Muse Brasil, I got a little away from the band events and such. Mate, you bet on me that we'd supported you on this. Add to that the gig will be in fucking Barra da Tijuca, which basically means: a hell to reach there, a hell to get out of there. The demand factor is one of the cheap excuse producers use here. "People aren't buying tickets, so we are raising the price" - but if you are raising the price, less people will be able to afford that. Lindsay Sterling played here this year and her tickets were a absurd too. Same t4f, if I'm not mistaken. Can you point me which tweets? Matt was sick, had something to do with his throat. He played Lollapalooza with a sore throat, but they had to cancel the solo gig which was three or two days before. Sorry if someone already told you. I've stopped reading on page 6. Is totally by the venue. The same way they charge you a "convenience fee" because you bought it on the internet - even if it is not going to be delivered at your door and you have to pick it up yourself. This fee is just another way they've found to extort and exploit people. And this may stick around, since T4F is one of the main producers here. 10 years ago or less, they started with this "premium floor" section, which was not a common thing to do. Now, every concert has a "premium floor", which is substantially closer to the stage and is usually filled with random people, sub-celebrities, people invited, and a few fans who could afford those tickets. This happens to almost every band concert. Ah, and most concerts here are set on "standing venues". The bottle line is that we know there are people who is going to pay for these. I'm not judging anyone here, though I think they only feed the greed producers doing it so. "They will pay, they always do." - that's their moto. I was going to write a lot, but most of what I'd say was already said. I will only add one thing about a personal feeling: It is sad to think that I paid R$180 on my first gig, back in 2008, right there in São Paulo, and more or less 250 for the Rock in Rio in 2013, WHICH WAS A FESTIVAL!! And now, to think that I have to pay R$250 to watch it form a shit place is really frustrating. Also, gigs for me are like going to a football match: the experience has a lot to do with being in the crowd feeling its energy. If this has already being posted, excuse me. But bellow you can see Rio's venue map:

Ive been away from the forum and most social networks. Even though I log in in facebook everyday, I dont stick there. Im online on skype or gtlak, if you wanna catch up.
How have you been?
-

-

ah, and I´ve drank Royal Crown and Jim Bean so far. You need more than 50ml of bourbon to make me tipsy.

I admit I did not read the booklet yet. I don´t remember what made me joke about Texas' small town in the middle of a desert streotype. Im sorry somehow.
Well, american football has a large following here compared to other least common sports. Though you don t have many people practcing, you have many people that supports teams and watch games on TV - ESPN and BandSports (a brazilian sports channel) broadcast most games and have programms about the sport. I don´t like it that much, but I dont hate either, so I watch them sometimes.
My dog is fine, he was just being a bitch. Thanks for asking, though.
I rarely play futebol (any kind) nowadays, but I play rugby and judo.

I don't remember exactly. Was something like not wasting his time watching that film and saying like the Jets aren't a proper club or whatever. The commentators said what he has said, but I don't remember now. I always thought Tom Brady was an arse, anyway. hehe
I can say the same about football. In fact, most sports are like that. What I don't like about it is that it has too much stops, e.g: Kick off, returner grabs the "ball", takled, ground. Stop. Attack team enters on side B, deffense team enters on side A (commercials). Lets suppose B does not archive their 1s down at some point. Punt. Commercials. Change sides. Lets suppose side A does not get their first down too. Punt. Commercials. Change sides. *repeat*. Until some one makes their first TD or filed goal. Commercials. Change sides. Free kick. Change sides again (I believe). Commercials.
I believe that watching it live would change parts of the experience, but not the constant "stoppage", which annoys me.
No, I'm not going to U2. You don't have any idea how expensive these tickets were. And how sick U2 fans are here. Like, in 1h the first wave of tickets were sold out. Plus, travelling till São Paulo is no cheap either. So, is not worth all the trouble and money to watch a 30min concert. I was holing for a solo concert, but there won't be any this time. Perhaps next semester or on the next tour only.
My dog stopped howling. Or Im not waking up any more. LOL. I admit I should go out for a walk with it more often.
Cheers!

Lets say I wanted New England to be kicked by NY Jets because I saw what Gisele Bündchen's husband (that is how we call Tom Brady here
) said about that HBO's documentary of Jet's pre-season. So I thought "Tom Brady deserve to be sacked, intercepted and commit at least 3 fumbles that will lead to TDs". hehe! But seriously, I watch it before going to bed (they are aired here at 23:00 more or less) and I don't have much patience to watch an entire game. Is almost one break for every tackle. A game that last 1h takes 3h of airing. Is too much for me.
And I have a brazilian terrier.

No matter how many games I watch on ESPN I still find weird when you guys say "football" and you dont mean association football.
Nevertheless, I thought Texas has no team on the play off... but Im probably wrong, since I don't understand nothing about nfl. And about dogs, my dog decided that now is cool to howl to the moon at 4:15. Every single day.
I still havent finished stuff here, so, no review yet. hehe!
Cheers

Good. And I got your package filled with epic win. I will post a review later. I have to do some housework right now.
And you? everything okay?
Cheers!

Thanks for the warning! I don't mind it will be late. International shipments usually take a little longer than expected. Im quite surprised mine arrived on time at its place. Now, Im curious to know who is my SS (and I've seen you posting on the board before) and what she did.
Cheers! Happy new year.
