Mac Hall, I cursed out the people scanning tickets back at the Machine Head show. It was one of those lines that goes up the stairs, through the food court and wrapped around the little kiosk waaaay at the other end. Almost missed the band I came there to see, it took an insane amount of time to get to the front, just inchign along and I discovered that there was 1 person scanning tickets. One. I just lost it, they tried to yell back at me, I just shouted them down and walked past them. Holy crap I was angry. Incompetence.
As for the booze, I'm glad they moved the beer gardens out of the main room. If you can't go without alcohol for 2 hours while you watch a band then you have problems. Go to a bar, sit there in the dark and drink yourself silly.
