no, seriously, this WIN TICKETS crap has to stop. i think if promoters want to get free plugs on the radio/on the web/in print, they should offer something a little more interesting then bleeding tickets. maybe in the year dot, when things like tickets had a value, and gigs were rare and special and usually "sold out" affair, would it have been cool to offer them, but now - nah. sorry. not in these days of "rent-a-crowd"..

did i tell you about "rent-a-crowd"?

well, gather 'round and let me tell you the story of the crappy r n' b gig last year when a "casting agency" put the feelers out for people (read:students) to attend a gig in the point depot to "bulk up" the crowd! oh. i seem to have kinda ruined the punchline there. ah well. yeah, well, it`s happening. REGULARLY. Tickets - SCHMICKETS.

I demand an end to to this lazy crappy way of promotion. Let's have some REAL prizes. Like Dinner , Drinks and/or Sex with the Artist.. Or VIP Limo/Booze/food etc. for you and your friends, with Hotels and Hospitalisation included.. Or how about a nice New Car?

DEMAND MORE! These concert-running people are making ALOT of money charging 50+ euro for a ticket..

now the englis know all about it!

in gatwick today they had a porche boxter, a aston martin db7 and a mini plus 10k sterling up for grabs! it was worth the 20 pound to enter even if i dont win

[playthatbeat]

Now THAT'S value for money! 20 quid! jesus i even got a glimpse there of owning one/all of them/it and i didn`t even fork out the 20 lids in question! Yeah, that's more like it.. They shuld give you a DVD of what the cars/cash will be like for 20 quid though - then you can re-live those beautiful moments over and over in the comfort of your own home.. yourz to treasure.. (etc.)

i never even seen one of those aston martin's before! im 2 used to seing gallon's load of skylines! in all fairness mallow is a small tow and there is 13 of the fecking things here! there is only around 7 in cork city

[playthatbeat]

Ahh, yes, but skylines are the new civic.. haven't you heard? There are 9 of them in wicklow now.. 2 r32 gtr, and 7 r33 gts.. In fairness, Wicklow is the king of funky motors.. We have more Bentleys, AE86, Skylines and MGB-GT per head of cattle then any other county that begins with a "w".

[jasonmcareedj]

well the reason mallow has so many of the feckin yokes is because mallow is the "home town" of the D1drift series. it all started with friday nights around the limerick road roundabout! A buddy of mine Darren Mcnamara and his brother graham started it off. graham is worth a fortune out of rosegreen raceway.

there is about being honnest... 12 skylines in mallow, 2 rx7's, a fist full of 200sx s13's and another fist full of s14's. did anyone hear about the kid in the ford serria with the welded diff and the john deere jump suit that usually does fairly well in the drifting?.... he's a mallow man also!

tim, you drive a skyline dont ya???? as far as i can remember ya were spotted in mallow the day after you played in the hi land in new market.......

[playthatbeat]

ahh.. that would have been in the celica days.. when i was thrashing that VVTi around the country.. such fun.. and the noise it made with that Injen CAI hehehehehe.. it sure sounded like a monster...

yeah, well, drifting is the only sport to come about in the last 20 years that has any salt.. and ireland is next only to Japan in skills.. we have it in us, and loads of fine country roads to practice on.. in fact, i did the Dunmanway ring in the r33 last summer, very entertaining, if a little tight.. almost as much fun as Ireland's #1 downhill - the oldcourt run in tallaght.. (aka: the himalayas)
