Sweet Jesus, I just spent a lot of money to go see a dude who, five years ago I would have laughed at the notion of see­ing for free. Kim’s got me straight trip­pin (boo). I admit it, I’m excited to see Mor­ris­sey, but I am more excited to be able to be dah man and buy Kim tick­ets to her all-time favorite artist ever (that she’s never seen in concert).

The prices don’t seem all that crazy to me (40 bucks each). I was more offended that they charged 15 bucks to have UPS ship them to me in an enve­lope (and 11.50 for a “con­ve­nience fee”).

Look­ing at his tour date list­ing, the change in size between the venues Mor­ris­sey is play­ing in up north and the ones down here is sort of odd. He’s play­ing Madi­son Square Gar­den one night, and then the Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA the next date. I have no idea how many fans he has here in Hamp­ton Roads. Since I have started to really get into Morrissey’s music I have been really taken back by the diver­sity among his most loyal fans– they are every­where and they are not easy to peg down. Nor­folk can be kind of a red­neck city (I imag­ine a greater turnout for the Insane Clown Posse show that’s com­ing up) but PETA being head­quar­tered here will make a dif­fer­ence– but how much of one? I really don’t what to expect; a Norva half-filled with Norfolk’s hip­ster bunny-huggers or a gang of sweaty dudes hug­ging each other and scream­ing along to “There is A Light That Never Goes Out.” I must say, I am really hop­ing for that latter.
