a modest proposal

Soomydoomydoo's just reminded me of my suggestion that, for the price of the tickets she and Fiofio bought to see Morrissey, they ought to be allowed a chance to comb his hair. i mean, seriously. $75 is a damn lot of money. while i'm sure the show will be good (and it better be, for that much), i think the fans are entitled to more. and while i'm sure with a price like that, ticket-selling intermediaries such as That Great Big Evil One That Pervades Most Everything Except Tiny Bars Here *coughs*, the venue in question, and various other people apart from the actual musical artist are all taking increased fees, i somehow doubt in this case that he himself is not making extra money from this. so, since he's a party to it, by all rights he should pay.

it's a small thing, really. Sumy further suggested perhaps being allowed to tug his eyebrow (preferably left), amongst other things. really, it's not an issue of pickiness. i'm not suggesting all-out molestation, either. but really, this could set some sort of example for future such individuals* charging such ridiculous amounts for fans to bask in their presence~~~! fanclubs and such often have events wherein VIP individuals (usually those who've paid way too much to participate in whatever event it is) get special access and priveleges with their favourite stars. this would be just a slight variation on that, really.

(plus, maybe we could see what Alex's shoes would look like on Sr. Momo? XD)

* = obviously, mileage would vary based on individuals in question. some people, i believe it is safe to assume, are best left completely untouched in any way. then again, i wouldn't be the one paying such a ridiculous amount to see those people, so who am i to judge? XD

yeah, yanno...much as i really wasn't a fan of their music, that's the one useful thing he did. it's too bad he didn't end up succeeding. :P

i wrote a thesis paper in high school on the evils of ticketmaster, actually. XDXDXD

janni likes to cook and bake. a lot. but mostly? she likes to sharpen her knives. because a dull knife is a dangerous knife, and we simply can't have that...

about this layout:
this is acid reflux v. 5.0 of Headphones Save Lives. featuring the ebullient Emperor Chairman Kaga from the fine Fuji TV show Ryori no Tetsujin and seen in the US on the Food Network as Iron Chef. revel in his mastery of bell peppers!
