Does that make you the schlemiel or the schlemazel?  Is the soup spilled on you or do you spill it on yourself?

I was actually supposed to go there for some CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) training about six months ago, but we got a travel ban put on us due to cost, so I never went.

I believe I offered to pay as I recall saying "I am here on business, I hate my company and they can pay for us to have fun"

It was something along those lines.


and of course you never offered to be honest and say "Oh no, that is not moral. You should only be paying for yourself"


I actually didn't expense all of that outing. I want to say the bill was 84$ with tip and I might have expensed 50$.


So I did sort of pay for it.

James Hetfield

You can do this, just join the Metclub.  They have meet and greets for every show.  It is a lottery but if you enter every one you're bound to meet them.  He is very cool and all of them spend time with each person there.

I hate having other people around when I'm trying to converse with someone of note, there's always some vulture right behind you trying to take the attention.  Thanks for the tip though, I might just join the Metclub anyway.  I've been trying to buy an ESP JH-2 guitar for a few years, they're a bit rare though.  And pricey.

For $50 a year you get 4 nice magazines, shirt, advance ticket sales- this is the best because they also let people with Metclub tickets into the venue 30 minutes early so you're pretty much guaranteed a front row spot without waiting allday long, and a lot of cool stuff on the web.

Hetfield- you made a good point and I would love to spend time talking about all his cars.

If you were an indy car fan and Jason Newsted was, I could totally get you a conversation there. A good friend of mine was very good friends with Metallica, the whole band. They are all supposedly very nice guys.

He vacations on Newsted's ranch in Montana each year.

Dood...

I'm pretty sure your company is closer to flush than me.

I have no moral issues with you...or your company paying the tab that night.

BTW...

It's way past time for another payment. ;)
