Rebel Prince

[Update (13 Jan): Both pairs of tickets have been sold. Thanks for all the inquiries.]

Step right up! Concert tickets for sale! Thom and I will be going to the Rufus Wainwright show in New York next month, and thanks to my calculated zeal in getting the best seats possible—I was at the Ticketmaster website the moment they went on sale a couple months ago; you know how it is, playing ticket roulette to see if you can get better seats—I have two extra pairs of tickets. Who wants ‘em? They’re in excellent locations, both orchestra: row BB, seats 9 and 11 (second row, house left); and row A, seats 101 and 102 (fifth row, center on the house left aisle; according to the seating chart, the front rows are lettered AA through DD, which is why row A is five rows back). So, pretty sweet, eh? And yes, you surmise correctly that if I’m selling these, then the seats I’m keeping must be even better.

My asking price is exactly what I paid, $106.05 per pair (each ticket is $42 plus fees). Or who knows, if you make it interesting, I may be persuaded to accept a combination of cash and other goods or services. Or whatever. If you’re interested, e-mail me at jeff@rebelprince.com, and we’ll work it out.

In other news, they recently announced some additional tour dates, so if you’re not New York-bound, maybe he’s coming to a city near you.

Yes, I’ve been waiting for a chance to use that title again. It is rather rainy. And I do love the Carpenters. When I went home over Christmas, I made sure to bring back The Singles 1969-1973. I discovered the album as a kid, listening to my parents’ copy on vinyl, and then many years later I bought my own on CD. It’s by turns fun, weepy, kitschy, whatever you want to call it, and though of course I wasn’t around when these songs were new to the airwaves, it makes me nostalgic for my early childhood, when they were new to me.

Oh, now I’m off track. Usually I think up my entry titles after I write the entry, but since the title came first for this one, it got me all misty-eyed, and I’ve forgotten what I meant to say. The Carpenters will do that to you, you know.
