The Net Is Strange

That's my most viewed photo on flickr. Three days after it went up, 80 something views. I sent one person an email with the pics for her birthday party. Most of the party pics are in the 40-50 view range, but not the one of Christine and Angela. Investigation continues.

Golden Stones

Big news on the Stones coming to town, here's the story I ran in the five yesterday.

The tease:

ITS ONLY ROCK AND ROLL.. SO WHY ARE SOME SEATS MORE THAN 350 DOLLARS?
STILL TO COME ON THE NEWS...
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD MICK, KEITH AND CHARLIE ARE COMING TO TOWN BY NOW... BUT HAVE YOU HEARD WHERE THOSE TOP DOLLAR SEATS WILL BE?

The kicker:

ITS TAKEN THEM 40 YEARS BUT THE ROLLING STONES ARE COMING BACK TO OMAHA FOR A CONCERT AT THE QWEST CENTER.
TICKETS GO ON SALE SATURDAY..
THESE WILL BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE TICKETS EVER SOLD FOR A CONCERT AT THE QWEST CENTER... THE "CHEAP" SEATS ARE GOING FOR 62 DOLLARS.. THE MOST EXPENSIVE ARE MORE THAN 350 EACH... WE CHECKED THE ROLLING STONES WEBSITE AND FOUND THOSE ARE LISTED AS 'ON STAGE BOX SEATS.'
TICKETS TO PAUL MCCARTNEY COST HALF AS MUCH.. AND THEY SOLD OUT IN 14 MINUTES.
AND GET READY TO TUMBLE THE DICE, BECAUSE QWEST WILL BE DOING ANOTHER LOTTERY FOR TICKETS..

Fire Alarm

Not a good morning for someone to set off the fire alarm. Evil buzzing flashing annoyance. I wasn't on ground level when the firefighters came out, so I don't know what happened, but it certainly wasn't a fire. 8:15 AM after a fairly late night celebrating Michelle's 40th.

For some reason, goofballs in my building get off on breaking things. They apparently tore up something on the roof to revoke the privileges of the entire building. Every time a flyer is posted in the elevator, it gets ripped down. This time, someone felt it was important enough to put it back up, taping the two torn pieces back together.
