So, I tend to not like Ticketmaster. In addition to the ridiculous fees they charge, their existence is nonsensical these days. I see how they could have been useful at some point in the distant past, but justifying their fees, leave alone their functionality, in these glorious days of teh intarwebs is not something I feel can honestly be done. Then there's the Double Door. I mean, really, what excuse do you have for being cash only? The taco shack across the street from you takes credit and debit. What honest reason do you have for not doing the same? I imagine by now, you, my gentle reader, see where this is headed. I went out to catch the SG burlesque this fair eve in a hurried state. My day had taken an unpleasant turn earlier on, and, as a result, I was running late. This should not have really been a problem, though. Despite my decision to buy my ticket at the door to save some money, I was assured by the Double Door that the show was in no real danger of selling out. The denizens of Chicago can be lame at times and it was a Sunday; these factors were working in my favor on this occasion. Unfortunately, I was in such a hurry that I forgot to make sure I had cash on hand. The Double Dooor is, apparently, cash only. That I had plenty of credit, then, did not matter. Because I did not remember my pin number, as I have had neither the inclination nor the need to use my credit card to get cash before, I had no access to cash, and so I could not get in. As I mentioned, I was running late, so I was able to hear the awesome music from Tsu Shi Ma Mi Re drift outside the Double Door as I walked around trying to think of some way to convert the credit I had on hand to cash to no avail. Sorry girls. I really did want to see you on stage. The show, or so I've been told, rocks this year.
