heh

i was complaining on saturday about how much scalpers are charging for tickets on the upcoming Tool mini-tour. the voice of Tool himself posted the following to their board.

THE FOLLOWING IS A MESSAGE FROM MJK

"Many people are complaining about the sold out shows. Relax. We're doing a full on tour at the end of the summer which goes almost everywhere. And in the new year, we'll go almost everywhere else. These are just a handful of warm-up dates. There's nothing much we can do to out wit the scalpers. If you have patience, just don't buy the tickets from them. just wait until August. Screw them. Believe me, if I could design a virus that would leave scalpers totally impotent, mute, and penniless, I would. Same goes for lawyers. (I have a whole different virus in mind for mini vans. More on that later.)"

glad he's not happy about it. i can wait until later this year. i'm sure i'll be listening to a whole bunch of shows shortly, and it won't be long before Coachella (3 days from now).
