I'm on a mission to hunt someone down....
At last night's Apollo gig my partner was finally persuaded to leave just before the encore to go and buy a signed LP for me (loads of posts on here have explained that 20 - 30 are available everynight and go on sale when the encore starts).
My partner joined a queue - she was 10th in line - and others queued behind her. They were told that only 18 LPs were available. OK, I suppose, she was 10th in line.
Then the first bastard in the queue bought 5. And the second one bought 4.
FFS!
When people in the queue started to complain, security stepped in and moved people away. She returned to the gig looking very upset.
So, to those who bought multiple copies:
What is the point? What are you going to do with them? Because of your selfish behaviour other fans in the queue were VERY disappointed - lots of people were in the queue, they all wanted one, a souvenir of a very special show, but you took it upon yourself to spoil it. Bastards.
When we left and were walking awy from the venue, my partner pointed out the person at the front who bought 5 - struggling to carry a very heavy carrier bag. Bastard. I've seen him before at shows, he's a regular up front. This can't have been his first gig of the tour, nor his first signed album(s).
I'm working on the assumption that he reads solo - how else do people know that the LPs are on sale at the encore? So why? Come on, show yourself, and expalin yourself.
Dave (still fuming the morning after)
