§overpriced crap

What a bunch of over-priced crap. At 30 dollars a head, I am sure the coup and roots will be minstreling for a sea of white heads.

I didn't think they would steep this low but I guess I am mistaken.

§not a bad deal at all

shoot, I've seen The Coup numerous times over the years, and I'm sure I've shelled out around 20 bucks to see just them before in SF (and the only beneficiary of that $$ was The Coup themselves -- they do have to earn a living after all).

maybe that's foolish, some might think, and they only go to free outdoor shows in the summer, but so be it. many people pay to see live music all the time, and when you add in all the other groups, especially The Roots, it's not such a bad deal at all. Consider that many pay upwards of $50 or more to see just a single group at the Shoreline or some other high-end venue, and that's not even for a good cause, just enriching already successful acts and their promoters. That's what I think is foolish. And this show is only $22 advanced.

I, for one, am happy to see The Coup, The Roots, and others donating their time and talents to trying to draw crowds and money to activist non-profits and community groups rather than for their own self gain.

You missed your chance...the Faultlines subscription deal is over cuz the event is starting.... but you can still show up and pay at the door, I guess. FL and Indybay will have a table there.

Sorry for the not particularly relevant post, however I am desperatly in search of a decent quality version of the Miami Model Documentary. Unfortunately the format they provide for download is Low quality quicktime, not really suitable for a showing. I intend to order a copy, put I planned a showing and forgot. Anyone with any helpful links, etc. your advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
