Every so often, an e-mail lands and you have to read it twice ... just to make sure that another visit to the eye doctor isn’t required.

I get updates on sporting events and concerts from Brad Schy over at musicalchairstickets.com, and this one was telling about the economic climate.

Lakers v Clippers, Tonight 7:30. HUGE SALE. 40%-50% Below Face Value.

So where was this 40%-50% discount when Death Cab for Cutie was in town?
