Stupid Seating @ IZOD Center
Earlier today, someone forwarded this fantastic IM conversation regarding the silly way in which seating is set up, numbers-wise, in the IZOD Center in the Meadowlands, formerly the Continental Airlines Arena.
D (3:10:01 PM): hey id like to file a complain with the folks at the meadowlands who think its cool to have the front section for a concert be sections 7, 8, and 9
B (3:10:10 PM): huh?
D (3:10:20 PM): the 3 front section on the floor
D (3:10:25 PM): are sections 7, 8, and 9
D (3:11:38 PM): therefore, when i got my DMB seat assignments yesterday, and saw that I had section 1, row C, there was a moment of pure exultation, prior to remembering this assinine seating arrangement
B (3:14:04 PM): that makes no sense
D (3:14:13 PM): its bass ackwards!!!
…
D (3:15:39 PM): we need to rise up against this
D (3:16:03 PM): *disclaimer: i am NOT upset with the warehouse
D (3:16:19 PM): just the dyslexic seating designer for the meadowlands arena
Upon further review, I must completely agree. Sure, there *are* some concerts where 1, 2 and 3 are right up against the stage, but that’s where the stage is dead center (and tiny) in the arena. I’d be pretty pissed off, too. Is it really that hard to “renumber” some sections so there’s actual logic in play, when the “seats” you’re talking about are in no way permanent?

haven’t had time to post until now as i get home. long day, but a good one. gotta love those fridays. went out with folks from work tonight and to the sheryl crow show. was a little different than the last time, but it was a good deal. gotta love free concerts in city parks =)
today was really busy, have a ton of things to prepare for next week. fabulous, the bear, djm and i went to this place called rosario’s down near the south end of the manhattan and had some great grub. i had a pasta and calamari dish which i was amazed i could eat all of - and that was the small size!
in other news, i apparently have a poison ivy type thing going on in the ankle area that seems to have subsided since earlier this morning. i’m usually good at stuff like this dying off quickly, thankfully. plus, the calamine (sp?) lotion does the trick when you reach itchy-land.
not sure what’s up for the weekend yet. have to do some errands, pay some bills, and other random things like that. otherwise, no big plans, unfortunately.
