Hey, I have a bit of an odd request. I won't be able to attend any of the upcoming west coast tour dates announced by Rasputina, but I'd like to have someone go on my behalf. My sister lives in the Seattle area, but she's thinking she can't make it, either. Rasputina will be selling a limited edition CD (only 30 copies) at these shows. Seattle is the first west coast show, and it would be really amazing if I could snag one of the CDs. I would be willing to pay for tickets, gas, and food for someone willing to go to the concert and try to get me one.

The show is on March 23rd at Neumos.

Anyone interested?

I'll go, better open that cheque book CV.

Ha ha, oops. I guess I should have put a cap on gas and specified only concert tickets, not plane tickets.

wow, you must really want one of these things! If it doesn't work out maybe one will end up on ebay after the tour.

I do want one. Hopefully it doesn't come to eBay. I'm not too optimistic about eBay because I never could track down the limited edition of their album, Frustration Plantation, which I'm sure there were way more than 30 copies of.

I have a friend that lives in seatle working on his Ph.D in Electircal Engineering but have kinda lost touch with him... so I guess that is of no help.

Ha ha, still a wonderful story!

Well, I was hoping someone could go to the Seattle show, but here are all of the tour dates. I'm not sure how she's allocating the 30 copies, as in, if she'll let them sell out at the first show, or if she'll only sell like 5 per show. Would anyone want to go to one of the other shows?

March 23 Seattle, WA Neumo's
March 24 Portland, OR Hawthorne Theater
March 25 Eugene, OR WOW Hall
March 26 San Francisco, CA The Independent
March 28 San Diego, CA The Casbah
March 29 Los Angeles, CA The Troubadour

Maybe you could send an email to someone affiliated with the show and ask how they will be distributed?

Good idea. I'll send some emails around and see if I can get any kind of response.
