Bullet For My Valentine

Bratislava after all?

Personal

Work didn't send me to the former Commie states last week because they wanted to attempt an installation themselves first, but apparently they failed and have booked me a ticket to the Czech Republic (or Slovakian?) for Friday. No one here knew about it though, so all the nice plans I made for Dorith and Inge as well as the Bullet For My Valentine gig are being jeopardised.

I still hope I'll be back on Saturday for all that fun but for now my agenda looks like a big questionmark. Hurray. (Not!)

Fun with technology

Software

It's 11pm and I'm still at work. But that's not what I'll moan about.

I've been trying to get a standing ticket for Kerrang XXV at the Brixton Academy in London, a show that is completely sold out. Solution: eBay! Paying twice the face value sucks, but I have never seen Bullet For My Valentine live yet, need to exchange presents with someone very special and cancelled a skiing trip that week to see another show anyway, one I can't make because it is midweeks and I'm saving days off. Oh, and maybe I'd just very much like to see Rachel again.

Filled with optimism, I tried to pay for the tickets with PayPal. But I forgot my password. Oops. No problem, I know my security questions so they can e-mail it. To an old address I no longer have access to. Oops. No problem, they can send it over by phone. To old numbers I no longer have access to. Oops. I swear I'm not making this up.

But despite my frustration over tight security, I have to hand it to them: I was pleasantly surprised to see a US Mail option. I'm quite sure it won't arrive until tickets (and flights or hotel rooms) are ten times more expensive, or the gig is over, but at least I'll be able to access PayPal again at some point.
