[one4u2]

Well, I did find out that the cocktail party is only 1/2 an hour and will consist of 600 people if it sells out I'll have a better shot waiting outside of MSG which I will be doing in Oct/Nov

 

[starsgoblue]

I was told it consisted of 200 peeps....regardless, I'm going!

 

[ruffian]

according to upstages, it's 200 people. i called them...did they tell you 600?

 

[U2Girl1978]

Eeek, goddamn..I wish I never ventured into this thread because I'm going to somehow find a way to purchase the 495 dollar one.

Oh decisions, decisions. You girls are such bad influences.

PLEBAns hunt better in packs....

billy corgan knows that what he did is not cool and he probably regrets it. if his new songs were really that good he wouldn't worry about it. i think he lacks confidence. think about it - smashing pumpkins were the hottest thing in their day. Today is the greatest day... that video was kick ass!! everything was right on - until corgan and co. just couldn't keep it together and their heads way too big for their own good. corgan, keep it simple dude, and don't take yourself so seriously. it's only rock and roll. smashing pumpkins was never on the level of u2 or anything. they were just a great group from chicago that rode the coattails of seattle grundge. i realize they were probbably around before nirvana and p. jam but if it weren't for vedder and cobain nobody would've ever heard of this group. they are a 2nd rate group like stp. behind u2, nirvana, and red hot chilli pepers.
aren't they?

uhhhh wrong thread!

Oh you lucky people. I thought about it, but , too much money.
