I used to work on a zine for The Fixx....anyone remember them? "One Thing Leads to Another" was their big hit in the 80's, like maybe 84. Well, if I mentioned them to anyone I met, I had to tell them that song title to ring a bell w/ them! So I guess bands kinda get pigeonholed by a song or a sound, ya know? W/ Sg tho, it dewpends on the age of the person I mention them to. I work in a school and if I mention them to any kids, yeah, they know immediately who Sg is and are amazed _I_ know who they are let alone listen to them. If I mention them to people who aren't at all indoctrinated to the sound or the scene, forget it--no amount of titles will ring any bells.

Will some kind soul please inform me when Soundgarden's NYC shows sell out? I expect the both of them to, but I REALLY hope they don't sell out until AFTER I get the tickets.. of course if I do end up with two tickets and no ride (I have a few alternatives left, so I'm pretty optimistic about getting a ride), I can always sell them to good trustworthy SOMMS people, can't I? So I won't be losing any money even if I do buy the tickets and have no ride. Or maybe since there is lack of Soundgarden interest lately (from what I have seen and from what people have mentioned on the list) it won't sell out and I'll be lucky. But I'd rather have no ride to the show and have to sell the tickets than find a ride somewhere and be screwed because it's sold out. Dig? So let me know... PLEEEEASE... :> :> Pretty please?

If I gave the impression I was dissatified with the decision, I apologize, the original post was unclear--I just thought it was strange. But you have to admit that a 2-3,000 seat venue is a long way from the 19K seat Delta Center. I just thought they would be booked at the Delta Center. In fact im very excited at the possibility of seeing them in a small arena again--the first time I saw them sandwiched in between Prong and Voivod, at a very small "club". Needless to say, its very exciting to be 6 inches away from Kim. On the other hand, it has to be seen as a step down by exects at A & M. (I know, who cares) Im sure they would have rather seen the band play in front of three times as many people. I agree that it was a personal decision by the band--theyre the ones that are losing the money--obviously (as another post mentioned) they want to please their fans--but it seems to me they'll fall into thesame trap as Pearl Jam. People bitch that PJ plays in large arenas--but when they attempted to play a smaller arena near Salt Lake (wolf mtn), and the show sold out in four minutes--then people bitch because they cant get tickets!! They cant win. Soundgarden has always had a strong following here in Salt Lake. If 15,000 people want to see them, but only 3,000 tickets are being sold, whats going to happen? Seems to me that you have more unhappy fans than happy ones. I remember before DOTU came out, many people on this list feared that it would launch the band into stellar super-stardom, forcing them into very large arenas. I dont think that has happened, and I guess we can all be thankfull. I know I am. IMO if soundgarden want's to "please their fans" they should invest in some new road gear, get serious about mixing their live sound, and turn the motherfu**in volume DOWN. Flame Away.

But just as members of the mailing list, we're a much more active base. I get back in town tomorrow, so I'll start pokin around the area to see if there is somewhere we can meet. About how many people are planning on gathering? It must be at least 10. Maybe a radio station in town (103.5?) is sorta promoting the concert, so they might be good to go through for some sort of recognition (5 minute head start into the venue *hope*) Man, is (R)october gonna seem long. -- Ben Ben Timberlake "That's some catch, that Catch-22" Northwestern University "It's the best there is."

I was also thinking about a design for a tee (maybe a transfer so we can iron on to the shirt of our choice). I really like SOMMSfest 96', maybe over an outline of the Chicago city skyline. But I definitely think we need to make noise that a large number of SOMMs members will be attending this show. Same goes for all the other dates, if we get good numbers of member going noise should be made...

All right! Now I just have to get tickets somewhere. So I took matters into my own hands and called TicketBastard (I know I got that term from the list, and I don't remember who exactly said it, but I love it), which is a risky prospect ever since the mishap I experienced trying to get tickets for a Soundgarden show in 1994 - I called the Ticketbastard people (I love it! That's a title they well deserve.) and asked about Soundgarden playing in Rochester, since I was told by my local Z-Rock affiliate that they would be playing there. (The Z-Rock people were REALLY nice about it, too, they took my name and number and called me right back with New York tour dates.) This bitch goes, "Is New York City in Rochester?" "No." "Is Fitchburg in Rochester?" "No." "Then they're not playing Rochester." STUPID FUCKING BITCH! 24 hours later, I get a Soundgarden tour schedule in the mail. Lo and behold, it says ROCHESTER JUNE 14 right on the damned thing. And then I had myself a ticket to see Soundgarden. Stupid assholes... and today I called, and the lady who took my call didn't seem exactly interested, but at least she wasn't a friggin bitch.. She told me what I already know, of course, all three Roseland dates are sold out *SOB*, but she also said she had no listing whatsoever for Brandies Arena in Boston on November 19th. Now, if that is a good or bad thing, I don't know... It DOES mean it's not sold out :> and I still have a chance.. but what if the whole thing was just a hoax and I have no chance to see Soundgarden? :> But then I still have the fan club, and I might even be able to get tickets for New York through the fan club, except I moved in December and I never sent a change of address because I figured I would just rejoin anyway, except I never had the cash lying around to do it... so I don't even know if I'm in the fan club anymore.. YOu bet yer ass I mailed KOTS about that, as well as a million other things :> Wow.. I thought I was the most obsessed Soundgarden fan in the world, but that was before I got on the list, and I thought I was equally obsessed with a bunch of others :> But I'm bending over backwards just to get two tickets to the Boston show.. I don't know, would you try so hard to go see them live? Especially when you've already seen them twice this year? :> Sigh.. I guess I'm just more vocal about it. I don't have a life, after all. :> thanks for reading ------------------------------ From: Eliza J Polly Subject: RE: Power in numbers >About how many people are planning on gathering? >It must be at least 10. My list has 18 people on it currently!! The size of this group deserves lots of recognition!!!

As far as I can determine, the show will be at the Brandeis Arena, which is part of Brandeis University, and will therefore be in Waltham, not Boston. So if you call Ticketmaster and ask for info about SG in Boston and they give you a snotty answer, try Waltham. I'll be changing the Web page to reflect that change as well, though if it turns out the concert is actually in a different venue and is in Boston, I'll just look like an idiot. :) seth ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: Clueless Ticketmaster As soon as i got done calling my friends and ranting to each for 15 minutes about how i'll be so close to soundgarden and be in pure ecstacy and how they'll have to chain me to a wall and sedate me, i called good ole ticketmaster. first, they had me on hold for about 15 minutes roughly. then the sound was really horrible and i couldn't hear the woman talking to me. so as soon as i stopped hearing a voice mumbling something, i yelled about "when are the tickets for the Soundgarden concert at the electric factory going on sale?" she goes "um, do you have the date for that?" so i tell her and she screws around with her little computer or whatever, and then says "um, i don't know. we don't even have any information about that concert..." you don't KNOW??? um, okay, thanks for wasting my time! well, i guess since the dates were just announced today, it IS kinda fast for them to know when tickets go on sale, but the concert here is November 21st, and that's actually quite close if you think about it. Now my only problem is the concert is on a thursday and i've got to get up and go to school the next morning. *sigh* well, sleeping through one day of school will be worth seeing SG up close and personal in the Electric Factory. thanks for listening to a dork ramble on. mind riot ____ "It's a feeling everyone gets.

Even though they changed the policy to only 4 tix per one show (vs. 8 tix overall) and I had to hangout til 10:40 when the Sunday's tix were released... I GOT 4 TIX FOR EACH OF THE THREE SHOWS, NOVEMBER 15, 16, & 17 ! The older ladies were very cool and 'flexed' the rules at Music & Stuff in Westchester Square in Da Bronx (free plug). I got KISS tix there too. Today there were only 8 folks there and I was 4th. The guy in front of me and I each got 4 for each of the first two shows and split 'em. Then after everyone on line got what they wanted, the lady let him purchase another pair for both Sat & Sun. Friday the 13ths are usually cool for me, but this beats all. I got home looked at the tix again and began to sob - tears of complete & utter joy! A whole weekend of SOUNSGARDEN! I pray someone there is filming 'cause I REALLY want copies. This may be the most glorious day of my life so far - 'til November 15th. *** Oh my blessed, gifted heroes of music and masculinity, please take good care of your minds, bodies and souls, and give those of us who love and respect you the gifts of your talents at their bests!

Great idea - I'm gonna call Roseland again Monday AM, then Silver Management as well.
