It’ll be a week of public service this week. Last night I led a meeting of Garner Crimestoppers, a group whose mission is incredibly easy since crime in Garner is almost nonexistent. Unfortunately, so was attendence. Oh well.
Tonight I meet with the web group for the North Carolina Museum of Art Contemporaries, a group working to increase museum membership (and donations, natch). Ah, the lengths I will go in making the world a better place.
The ticket diatribe below grew out of my frustration in finding an easy source for tickets to Contemporaries events. I was pitching Etix, an innovative Raleigh company doing print-at-home ticketing. They seemed like a perfect match. My scheming came to a screeching halt when I found out the museum has an exclusive contract with TicketMaster, meaning that we’re SOL for doing easy tickets. Monopolistic bastards!
