after many setbacks

i will finally see feist in concert. over the past couple years, she's passed through sf several times and each time something prevented me from attending. once, i was traveling for work, another, i was moving back to sf. there was one other time too, though i can't recall the reason i missed out then.

however, i have a ticket for the sold out tuesday show and nothing, short of familial tragedy, could cause me to miss out.

which got me to thinking, how much would someone have to pay me to take my ticket (provided selling meant i would miss her performance)?

face value was $30. not a chance. double would be $60, and you'd still have to cause severe physical damage before prying them away for that price. $100, still wouldn't get it done. at $200, i'd feel like an idiot for not taking the money, but would walk into the fillmore with a clear conscience.

so i guess the number stands at about $250, maybe $300. but despite being somewhat richer for making the deal, i'm certain i'd spend the rest of that night, and likely the next two or three as well, sitting in the dark, berating myself for opting for the cash.

btw, on craigslist you could definitely pick up a pair for < $100.
