Damnit. Shoreline Amphitheatre is a pain in the ass to get to. And who in the hell calls that shit San Francisco? They might as well call Mission Viejo "Los Angeles". I would like to go, but I don't know how I would get to that show. Well more importantly, how do I get back from the show. Caltrain becomes a limiting factor.

It is not exactly public transit friendly: "For public transportation, we suggest a taxi or CalTrain to the San Antonio station. From San Antonio station, walk southwest on Pacchetti Way a few blocks to the bus station on California St. Catch the Santa Clara VTA Bus 40/L’avenida, Disembark at Charleston and Amphitheatre Parkway. Walk south on Amphitheatre Parkway towards the Shoreline Amphitheatre. Pass the soccer field on your left and look for the trail that borders Permanente Creek. Follow this trail through the golf course to the Shoreline Golf Links parking lot, and take the footbridge to your left. After passing the historic Rengstorff House, look for the Boathouse and Lakeside CafĂ© on the edge of Shoreline Lake. The walk from the bus stop is less than a mile. Check bus times for weekday and weekend service."

Really? This is the best directions you can provide on your website, Shoreline? Uggg...

eLzar, let me do some research on this first. Anyway, the tickets probably aren't up for sale yet anyway. Shoreline doesn't even list it on their site as an upcoming event.

In other news, some of the Pentagon's black budget line item project names:

TRACTOR DESK, TRACTOR HIP, TRACTOR HIKE, TRACTOR ROSE, TRACTOR NAIL, TRACTOR EGGS, TRACTOR CAGE, TRACTOR JUTE, TRACTOR CAGE, TRACTOR CARD, PILOT FISH, TRACTOR BARN, TRACTOR PUMA, DE11, RETRACT LARCH, RETRACT JUNIPER, CHALK EAGLE, CHALK CORAL, RETRACT MAPLE, LINK PLUMERIA, RETRACT ELM, LINK EVERGREEN, COBRA JUDY

I'm a personal fan of "Tractor Hip". I want one of those. Then again maybe I don't. It could be scary.
