THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE BREEDS A WEAPON OF WAR

My wife wants to go to Hamilton and tickets went on sale this morning at 10am for the San Francisco dates. If you were online by 10, you got thrown into random order and you have to wait your turn to buy tix. The fuckers wouldn't let you open multiple tabs to grab multiple spots in line, but I was able to get two spots by using Chrome and IE. Firefox wouldn't even let me to the website because of some cert error, so gently caress Firefox.

I am 64,757th and 86,081st in line. This is total bullshit! If I'm lucky, by midnight tonight I may be able to buy a single seat located in the bathroom.

WTF happened to Ticket D-Day when you clicked your rear end off in 100 tabs and fought your way through the DDOS storm to get the ticket selection window to come up? Now I'm in line with every cat lover who has an etsy page and I'm fighting over tickets to a show that features bad rapping. I really need to reevaluate my life.

UPDATE: there are only 62,543 sock-knitters ahead of me now.

You should probably wait 2-3 years until Hamilton is much less popular if you don't want to pay $600 for a ticket. What were you thinking?

Hamilton is so white people can watch black people rap in a safe environment.

You Should Be Terrified That People Who Enjoy “Hamilton” Run Our Country

Look at this. Look at how stupid this is.


In 2012 Captain Dan and his Scurvy Crew, a four-man nerdcore ensemble trying to cement “pirate rap” as a tenable subgenre, appeared on America’s Got Talent. They were booted off the stage after roughly 30 seconds and derided as “stupid”, “moronic”, “idiotic” and “pathetic” by Howard Stern, a man famous for stunts like ordering his underlings to lick each other’s rectal thermometers. In 2012 everyone, save for Captain Dan and people whose tastes range from “music from video games” to “music about video games”, was in agreement that performing open-ended-high-school-project rap in Colonial Williamsburg garb was unconscionable. Right?

Maybe the America’s Got Talent audience isn’t an accurate sample of the American population as a whole. Maybe they actually thought “when I say yo, you say ho” was clever — but there was a neon sign telling them to boo. Maybe something happened in the past 4 years that made everyone really loving stupid. Whatever the reason, the world we live in now includes Hamilton, a “hip-hop musical” about the first Secretary of the Treasury.

Hamilton exists more as a corporate HR department’s wet dream than as a biographical work. The appeal largely rests with the forced diversity of its cast and the concept of a “hip-hop musical”. The actual substance of Hamilton’s politics is ignored in favor of a story that stresses his origins as a Horatio Alger immigrant and his rivalry with Aaron Burr. 

...

His introduction stresses two takeaways from the musical: America is a place where the poor, through “sheer force of will”, can rise to prominence, and Hamilton has diversity in it. That means you can feel good about seeing it: no guilt for seeing dead white men in a positive light required. It contains hip-hop, an edgy, up-and-coming genre with only 37 years of mainstream exposure. It only costs $1,200 a ticket if you can stand bad seats.

Kings George I and II of England were barely able to speak English and spent more time dealing with their own failsons than ruling the Empire — but they gave patronage to Handel. Ludwig II of Bavaria was believed to be insane and went into debt to compulsively build castles — but he gave patronage to Wagner. Obama deported more immigrants than any other president and expanded the drone program in order to kill almost 3,500 people — but he gave patronage to a nerdcore musical.

SHOT! SHOT! SHOT!

Every drat presentation of that play the same parts of Hamilton over and over again. The fact that it's so popular probably means that it sucks and nobody will gain any bit substances from it.

Every drat person will come out of the show saying "Oh wow I didn't know Hamilton was so interesting. You know he was an orphan, was self educated, fought with Washington, and shot by Arron Burt."

Here is a 3 minute video that will tell you more Hamilton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv3VyusNJ-Q

The bad news is that I'm probably not going to be able to buy tickets to Hamilton. The good news is that I'm probably not going to have to see Hamilton. HAW-HAW-HAW!

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

All I can remember about Wicked is a ton of bright green lights onstage everywhere.

Saw Phantom and that was boring as hell. A guy stared into a mirror a lot and there was fog everywhere.

Rent was genuinely good. I was shocked at how great it sounded. Best mixed sound I've heard at any show, dethroning Meshuggah.

I don't remember what other musicals I've seen, but I'll keep you posted.

Update: 52,789 in line. This ain't gonna happen.
