Give that winning odds are still at 63%, it sounds like no one is falling for it.

I'm not in the Ten Club so haven't participated in one of their drawings, but doesn't a percentage that low mean that the event is almost certain to sell out?

That's chance of you getting a ticket if you are in the ticket lottery, so yes it's sell out, but given that 25x as many people are going to the actual show the number seems a little low.

The Wishlist Foundation pre-parties are going to be at Game On, if you need a place to avoid.

So Yard House for a little pre-gaming then? Or is that still too close?

For getting around Boston, do people use Uber or Cabs?

I didn't win tickets to the film screening, which means it'll definitely be an intimate fan-club only concert.

It's unlikely they would play three nights in a row. When is the last time that happened?

They did a number of 3-nights-in-a-row stretches in 2005, three of them by my count. There was also a 3-night stretch in 2006, but one of those was VH1 Storytellers, which probably shouldn't count.

Actually that counts more since anything they would do would likely involved borrowed equipment and a shorter than normal set.

I can easily see them doing a 90 minute Benaroya style acoustic set
