Dissolving and reforming so quickly I seem only to flicker.
The Bill Graham is an awesome venue. It is general admission for the whole venue so you can sit or stand. Its pretty small too, not like an arena. I saw them here in 07 and it was kick ass

Maybe the floor is GA, upstairs definitely is not. I sat a few rows back right near the center of the upper deck, BEST SEATS EVER.
Floor/GA is a horrible way to see Tool, imo. I saw them in '06 in Oakland, had GA tickets, and the experience sucked. They project visualizations onto the stage floor, which you completely miss, and you also miss a good chunk of the back visualizations too. Plus the lasers, etc...upper deck is the way to go to see everything.

Something is going to be new. It has to be. And I'm not talking about the Summer '09 "update", I hope they actually made new visualizations for new songs.
I'll be satisfied anyway, regardless of what they play. As evidenced in my previous post, I'm all about the experience rather than hearing a particular song. With that said though...the one thing I want to see more than anything else is something NEW. A new variation, a new song, hell, they can even play a shitty Dead Kennedy's song with no visualizations and I'll be happy.

ToolArmy says tix go on sale Sat. the 8th but Ticketmaster says Sun. the 9th for S.F. Am I missing something? I really don't want to be a day late on this one.
I was also dead center, upper deck in '07 and those seats were the sh*t! I wouldn't do the floor for Tool. Been to 7 shows and never have. To each his own though. If that's your thing then rock on with your bad self!
I dunno, where else are you gonna buy the tickets beside Ticketmaster? If they say Sunday I suspect it will be Sunday...
man, I really hope I get the same seats I got last year. I felt like I was in my own living room with a few thousand other people. That coulda been the LSD though.

If they don't announce a show closer to the denver/phoenix area then i will go to this show. I guess i will be by the computer come saturday. Not sure about the GA vs seats. I will shoot for GA i guess.
damn, they sold out this show really quickly. I got a single GA ticket!! so psyched now. ALl i need now is an afternoon flight. I will wait to see if they announce any other shows first though. Any thoughts on more dates?
OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M ABOUT TO FUCKING KILL SOMEONE
I refreshed at 10:00:00 and I got two tickets. It said they were GA so I was like WTF, I don't want that, I want "Loge" (whatever that means). Went back, put my info in again at 10:00:22 and bam, tickets are sold out. I've been trying for the last 10 minutes and nothin'. Gone.
WHAT THE FUCK MAN

Bummer man... all the tickets are GA for SF show. Sold out in 2 minutes - or maybe less.
damn, lucky you. I've been trying constantly for the last 18 minutes, no luck. I guess I'll start looking for just 1 ticket now. The shitty part is, I was supposed to buy a ticket for my friend because I thought the seats were numbered (I swear the 07 was). So now both of us are fucked.
I guess it's time for me to meet some new friends on Toolnavy. If anyone wants to sell one or two tickets, I'm ready to pay.
and I think I fucked up my laptop's hard drive by punching it

Yes, you must hold faith in the fellow TA community, and even here on TN.
I scored my '07 ticked (which WAS GA as well, FYI) via a loving tool fan on toolnavy.

Well I just spend $115 bucks from some motherfucker on there. I actually had to try four times just on Stubhub because I kept trying to buy the tickets and it said they weren't available.
Fuckin Tool, my favorite band that puts on the best live show I've seen, why do they make me go through so much hell?
this really pisses me off by the way:

In some cases, sellers cannot ship tickets immediately because the tickets are not yet in their possession.
People are making money off just being the middle man. Fuckin vultures.

Relax... you're going to the show, and you spent only $40 more than you would have on ticketbastard. You'll get your ticket... like I said, I've had success on stubhub in the past.
You know what, if I had infinite money I wouldn't even be bitching. But the fact of the matter is that these are trying financial times and I had to use my credit card because I don't even have $115 in my bank account. The little things like shitty overdrafts and extra ticket fees (well, this is the first ticket I've bought in quite a while) drive me into the ground. Time to sell a bunch of car parts out of my garage lol.
/personal drama
At least I'm confident that the show is gonna be fuckin' sweet. Now I just have to find some LSD.

About an hour without traffic. I go back and forth to SF a lot.
Living in San Francisco and having friends in Santa Cruz, I've driven back and forth dozens of times. It will take approximately 90 minutes. That's door to door, middle of Santa Cruz to downtown SF.
Most of the traffic goes up the peninsula in the morning and down the peninsula in the evening. So an afternoon cruise up 17-85-280 shouldn't be too bad actually.
