That's an amazing lineup, that's what Lollapalooza used to look like when it didn't suck.

I have one extra 3-day pass for Firefly at the early-bird price of $186. PM me if you want it.

I just combed through the Firefly website again and there's still no schedule. Has anyone heard anything about which night Jack's playing?

For some reason I've always thought it was Friday.

If you think of where you heard that, Ara, please let me know. I'm doing inventory at work the following Tuesday and normally work the weekend this show's taking place, so I've got to arrange the inventory schedule around whichever day he's playing. Dunno what I'd do if I didn't have a boss who indulges me in this stuff...

Actually, the one day passes were supposed to be on sale today, but they had a bigger clusterfart with their servers than TMR did with the London/Paris posters on Jack's site this morning.

I thought I was going to be all cool and smack down some new 411 but you all are obviously cooler than me! ;) Good luck to all that want 'em. I hope the sale goes smooth.
