Beck - Modern Guilt

My afternoon yesterday:

3:05pm: I receive an email from The Independent, a small-ish venue here in San Francisco, announcing a last minute Beck show this Sunday.

5:00pm: Tickets go on sale through Ticketweb.

5:01pm: The Ticketweb site crashes as thousands of fans rush the site.

5:30pm: After refreshing the page every few minutes for a half hour, I get a message that says tickets are no longer available. Depression sets in.

5:35pm: Determined, I press on. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

6:00pm: Ticketweb is back up and 2 tickets suddenly appear in my shopping cart.

6:06pm: I receive an order confirmation email from Ticketweb.

Excited!
