YES!!!

Thank you both for your helpful replies!!! I'm printing this out right now.

Hey all, not sure where to ask this, but.... I'm gonna be in Minneapolis next week and was wondering what the goth/industrial scene is like up there, or if anyone knows any decent clubs to go to. My friends & I are looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night! Thanks to all! Industrial Girl

What a great night that was! KMFDM kicked ass, but the best part of the evening was when I was buying a band souvenir and ran into SASHA who was selling the band merchandise, as well as Lucia. They were very gracious, spent time talking to the fans, autographing our tickets, and taking a picture with Raev. I was glad that my first time seeing them in concert was an experience like this. Bands are always so far away on stage and you never get to see them as just regular people. A shout out to all the other DGNers that were there last night as well.

And guess who one of the Mistresses is on the auction block?

YAY!!! That makes 2 of us! I'll be in latex.

LOL, I wouldn't be surprised. Sorry I missed it, LOL.

I don't blame you one bit.

Great job to everyone who performed! This was most definitely the BEST show yet!

Great suggestion if you need a job! Here's another really cool volunteering thing: Some of my friends are volunteering for the upcoming Olympics in Vancouver 2010. If anyone has ever considered going to an Olympics, tickets to the smallest events could cost you thousands of dollars (!), and that is in addition to your travel/hotel/food costs. If you volunteer for a big event like this, you get free tix to some events, lots of freebies, free food, and are in the middle of the action with all the athletes from all over the world. Autographs/photos, anyone?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: here is a GREAT way to get into your fav. plays/concerts/sports events for FREE: Volunteering. Seriously! All the people who are ushers at places like Detroit Opera house, Fox Theater, etc. are ALL volunteers. They get to see most of these top shows for FREE while they are working as a volunteer. I would call the venue up directly & ask about volunteering, what kinds of positions are needed, & how you can get involved. You may not get your choice of show, but at least you get to see a show. This applies for sports events too. There are sports events that things like baseball camps with actual major league stars that show up to teach kids or whatever, especially in the summer. One of my friends did an event where she was assigned to one of the major league mascots (basically just tended to his needs throughout the day, like food, or helping him with the costume). It was EASY work, she got to hang out with a bunch of mascots from all the teams, met tons of people, and got tons of autographs & freebies for doing it. FYI - volunteering at the upcoming Motor City comic con at the Rock Financial this month will get you a free pass to get in as well. If you like Henry Ford Museum or Greenfield village, you may also be able to volunteer there as well, which more than likely will mean free passes for a future visit. I would also call art museums as well since they are privately funded & can use all the free help they can, especially in this economy. You can network & maybe even pick up a few good references that you can use for future jobs. It is a total win-win situation. Another bonus about volunteering: you often get free food if you are working a minimum of 3-4 hours.

That's why you get there when the park opens & walk to the farthest area of the park & ride those rides first. You can ride a ton of your fav rides without lines (or with very short lines) since everyone else is obsessed with the rollercoasters nearest to the entrance. Throughout the day, work your way back to the entrance, and when you are done, you don't have a long walk in order to leave to go home either. I do it this way every time I go to a theme park & it works great.
